The Drew Carey Show: I love this show, but it is getting a bit old.

Spin City: Just not the same without Michael J. Fox..even though Charlie Sheen is very funny.

The X-Files: One of my favorite shows on television...but, without Mulder, its really not that great.

My mind has gone blank......what are your thoughts?

Frasier: Same here

NYPD Blue: How many more new guys are we gonna have to go through?

The following shows are definitely showing their age:

"Frazier" (sp?)
"Friends"
"Jerry Springer"
"Just Shoot Me"
"NYPD Blue"
"Saturday Night Live"
"The Simpsons" - how old is Bart now? 30?
"60 Minutes"
"WWF Smackdown!"
"The X-Files"

Though its not a sitcom, my vote goes to Ally McBeal. Somebody pull the plug already! It's just not funny now, and hasn't been in awhile. The only thing that saved it before was Robert Downey Jr.

Friends (Loved it the first couple of years, but it's really gotten old.)

The Simpsons (Still one of my favorites, but is really starting to show its age.)

ER (Ditto.)

I would have to say "Fraiser" - and that's coming from somebody who has been a long time fan of the show. Frankly, I was a little surprised when they recently announced that the show had been renewed for 3 more years, and the cast members received significant pay increases. The show just seems to have been "treading water" for about 2 seasons now. Fraiser's anxiety over his love life is getting a bit old, as are his disagreements with Martin. Also, now that Niles and Daphne have finally gotten together, the writers can't seem to decide what they want to do with those characters. It was good to see "Bulldog" back for the 200th episode. I wonder if there's any chance he could return full time - it would liven things up a little bit! Roz should also be given more to do - she seems to have remained more in the background lately.
