Got the idea from the your 5 favourite sitcoms thread.
What programme or programmes went on to long on your opinion and when and why should they have been stopped.
My opening 2 are both 2 I mentioned in the sitcoms thread.
My Family
I think was very funny whilst Nick was a main character, his relationship with his dad was brilliant the way Michael in a sense locked up to him even tho he was stupid was also brilliany and he was funny, once he left it seemed to forced and I really didnt like the Roger character at all.
Two and a Half Men
when they sacked Charlie Sheen they should have ended the programme, they ratings on IMDB tell u as much, series 1-8 every episode was rated between 7.0-9.0 then series 9-12 only 2 episodes went above 7.0, when they killee Charlie they Killed the series
Two Pints of Larger
again another programme that was brilliant early on, but then they Killed Johnny and it really went down hill and you had Gaz/Donna/Janet love triangle with Corinthian the baby again another programme that was killed when a main character was killed off
So thats my opening 3 I am sure there are more I will add but what are yours

Never saw Two Pints of Larger although it sounds like it was made for me but you will be surprised to hear that they are reviving Two Pints of Lager so it will be interesting to see how that has worn with age.0 -

The Simpsons - should have stopped around the end of the twelfth season.
Happy Days - when? you know the term 'jump the shark'?
There are quite a few where one thinks they should never have done the second series. The first was perfect, wrapped up the story, they could have left it there.2 -

Not going out, is still going on i believe, first few series were good but not now.4

Absolutely, should have ended after the one where they got rich, ones after that were poor.SuedeAdidas said:*Fixes bayonet *Only Fools and Horses9 -
This is true, sadly....Charlton_Stu said:Not going out, is still going on i believe, first few series were good but not now.
Also I have a vague memory that the first one or two series of Allo Allo were a lot better than the repetitive mess it eventually became....0 -
Pretty much every programme that’s gone beyond two series.

The Walking Dead. The show should have ended when Rick left.

Homeland. Started watching the latest series but gave up after the 2nd episode. Same old story.5

Dexter3

Was going to say the Walking Dead too, I gave up a couple of series ago and even before that I was watching out of habit rather than enjoyment.3

Prison Break.
First two series were decent. The rest not so much.6 - Sponsored links:

Eastenders. For the love of God make it stop
(Note: I do appreciate viewing is not mandatory)9 -
Ray Donovan is getting there.....although I thought the last series was much improved in the previous one.0
