which shows do you think stayed too long?
The Jeffersons 11 seasons- Ran 4 years too long and should have left somewhere between the 1980-1982 season,became to stale and weak by it 11th season.
Roseanne 9 season-ran 2 years to long.
All In The Family 9 seasons 3 -should have ended after season 6
Good times 6 seasons-should have ended after Season 4 it lasted 2 years too long.
Sanford And Son 6 seasons-should have ended after season 4
Cheers 11 seasons 2 years too long-should have left the air after season 9,although it is one of the few shows that was still watchable after 11 years.
The Cosby Show 8 seasons-3 years too long.
Family Matters 9 seasons 3 years too long- should have ended after the 6th season
Frasier 11 seasons-should have went after the 8th year.
Home Improvement 8 season ran 1 season too long-should have left after the 7th season
Friends 10 seasons 2 years too long -should have left after the 8th season
Everybody loves Raymond 9 seasons-should have left after the 7th season
Seinfeld 9 season-2 years too long should have went after season 7
Married with children 11 seasons-3 years too long.

Full House. Started to stink in season 5. By 8 it was not Full House, but the Michelle Tanner Half Hour.

Wings- went a season or two too long.

King of the Hill- why is that show still on? Should have disappeared a couple years ago.

Raymond-i felt that the fighting got old by it 6th or 7th season and should have been toned down by the last couple of years,
Roseanne season 8 was stale but season 9 was horrible.
The Jeffersons-George was toned down way too much and he became friends with the willis and Florence and was no longer a prejudiced by the 7th season and no longer were racial words were heard , he no longer lost his temper or yelled or screamed and the other character changed a little to much and by it 8th season the show was whitewashed the show was showing it age and the cast were clearly tired the show was to hard to watch in it last several years as it was too weak and stale by it 11th season.
The Cosby Show Olivia ,pam and her friends ruined this show as this show also got to stale by season 6.
Family Matters to much of urkel killed the show in it last couple of years but mostly it dragged on too long.
Good times the same as family mattes with to much of JJ and the departure of John Amos and Esther Rolle killed the show.

Much as I love Bewitched, they should've called it quits after Season 5. The scripts were being recycled left and right (sometimes verbatum), and EM and DS had no chemistry whatsoever. EM herself was phoning in her performances big time towards the end.

Home Improvement, Full House, Happy Days, Family Matters, Step by Step, Roseanne...all lasted way too long. The plots got extremely stupid and painful to watch.

ALL IN THE FAMILY-should have ended when Mike and Gloria moved out.
MASH-should have ended when Margret got married.
Friends-should have ended when Monica and Chandler got married.
Frasier-should have ended when Niles and Daphne got together.

Happy Days should have ended when they magically left the 50's and it turned into the 70's.

Little House on the Prairie should have ended when the Ingall's and Oleson's started taking in so many kids that you didn't know who they were anymore.

Will & Grace: ran at least 3 or 4 years too long IMO.

The Simpsons: only a few episodes after the late 90's are real genuine to me.

Friends as much as I love it, it ran at least one or two years too long, IMHO.

SouthPark should of ended when they killed kenny off for good. I had no idea they had bought him back.

227....Should have ended after Jackee left or when they introduced new characters on the show itself.

7th Heaven -- should've ended season 10.
Happy Days -- when Richie left. The show wasn't the same and they tried too hard to fill the void.

Friends - I'll agree with the 2-seasons-too-long
Gilmore Girls - Should've ended when Amy Sherman-Palladino (the show's original creator) left
Dawson's Creek - All those college years were unneccessary
Happy Days - No Richie, not the same
7th Heaven - Should've ended when the FIRST series finale aired, if not earlier
The OC - 4th season was just a drag
Will & Grace - Could've been cut down by a few seasons and no one would've shed too many tears, IMO
Laverne & Shirley - Should've ended before the dreadful move to California

For me, there are quite a few shows (sitcomes especially) that overstay their welcome... I'm a big fan of when shows "quit while they're ahead"... but it seems network execs are a bigger fan of "milking a show for every last penny."

I think Roseanne should have gone on to a ninth season, but should have left the show's outline alone, instead of having them win the lottery.

The Cosby Show, Home Improvement, and Full House also had just the right amount of seasons: 8.

Faimly Matters really ran its course. I would have stopped at season 7, because by that time, a lot of the orginal characters were gone, and the show was all about Urkel.

The Jeffersons also ran its course. I mean, the thing about this show is that it never changed. It was always the same plot and outline all 10 seasons: they always were moving on up. In the ninth season, the show was still in the top 20, so they went on for 1 more season, and they fell out of the top 50, which is hard to see.

cheers- i haven't watched that show but that went on for ages
friends- should've called it quits by season 7 or 8, i got bored of that whole ross and rachel, 'will-they won't- they' element of the show
frasier- it should've ended when niles and daphne got together
will and grace- should've came to a halt in season 6, though i got bored with that show from season 5 onwards
roseanne- should've lasted for 6 seasons, instead of 9
home improvement- as soon as the youngest member of the taylor family, mark became a teen, should've lasted for 6 seasons
everybody loves raymond-should've ended on season 6

As for current shows, ER and L&O. Both are WAY past their prime.

For me Law and Order (the original) was on to long after Jerry Orback (the guy from Dirty Dancing) left the show. He was the main reason that I watched the show and after he left the show it lost something for me.
Also the reruns of all the L&O shows combined keep me in enough L&O to fill any void of the show not running anymore first run episodes. I do remember reading somewhere its future was uncertain with NBC as well as L&O:CI.
I must say I do enjoy SVU as long as they still have the main 4 officers. CI is also good but I prefer V. Denofrio (Goram) to the Mr. Big (cant remember his name on the show).

ER is also another one that has lost appeal for me. Making it more of a show that deals with the love life of Abby and more and more battles in the ER that just seem so extraordinary every week is a bit much. I think they should have ended it a few seasons ago.

Reality shows like the Apprentice should have ended last season while still in NY and tentless.

8 Simple Rules lasted one season to much for me also. Maybe if John Ritter was still alive it would have been better but the cast changes ruined the show for me. I probably could have dealt with the changes better if they didnt bring in that guy from "SNL" cant think of his name.

The others for various reason are:
Roseanne - Lottery win was just to over the top as was Jackie in the last few seasons
Will and Grace - Even mega guest stars couldnt save the last season IMO. How many gay jokes and straight girl/gay guy puns could they use before they ran out of things?
Whos The Boss - When Sam moved out it got boring
TCS - To many changes in the last few seasons made the show less about immediate family and more about Olivia/Pam
A Different World - Just went downhill
Family Matters - The last season wasnt worth a watch when it moved to CBS

Saturday Night Live after 1989 it got stale (IMO)

M*A*S*H,The Beverly Hillbillies,Green Acres,Bewitched(Should have ended when the late Dick York left),Petticoat Junction(should've called it quits and ended when the late Bea Benaderet died),Happy Days(should have ended when Ron Howard and Don(Donny )Most left the series),All in the Family(when Mike and Gloria left for California they should've ended it),The Andy Griffith Show(Should have called it quits when Don Knotts left )and Sanford and Son,and there are lots of others,which ran for WAAAAAI too long.

Roseanne-Should have ended around 1995, it had gotten stale and lost it's 'working class appeal'.

Good Times-Should have ended in 1977, no James, no good scripts.
The Cosby Show-Should have ended in 1989, it had gotten bad after the thousand and one 'family members' moving in, the Huxtables couldn't surivive the nineties, and it showed.

Friends-Five years too long.

I'm sure some of you will disagree, but here's my list:

Family Guy: FOX should have let bygones be bygones in 2002.

Jerry Springer: Didn't the powers that be tone down the content in the mid-1990s, only to resume "pushing the envelope"? That should have been a cancellation point for this show. (Notice how you can't see any classic series on broadcast TV like The Brady Bunch anymore?)

Married ... with Children: FOX should have yanked this show when the people started protesting the offensiveness of the show. (There are probably 100 shows that fit the category of people protesting, but I won't list them all.)

Roseanne: ABC should have pulled the plug on this show right when Roseanne butchered the National Anthem in 1990.

The Simpsons: Does FOX know this show is still on?

WWE Friday Night Smackdown!: Why does the CW still run this when about 100 companies (according to the Parents Television Council) refuse to advertise on it? The CW could make more money with the unoffensive Joan of Arcadia or Three Wishes and avoid "advertiser attrition."

FRASIER-NBC should have pulled the plug when Niles & Daphne got together.
Friends-should have ended when Monica and Chandler got married.

The Simpsons: Does FOX know this show is still on?


What Fox forgot was King of the Hill. Someone forgot to cancel it...4 seasons in a row. -_-

Going to have to disagree with Married with Children, not alot of people protested the show and the lady who started the protest should have done her research and known that this show was kind of raunchy. Also have to disagree with Roseanne, if that's the case then the 700 club should have been yanked after Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson blamed 9/11 on gays, feminists, and just about every group.

It's not the networks job to yank shows off the air because they are raunchy or offensive. T(here are some shows that are offensive to me but I choose not to watch itlike that Tila Tequila dating show coming up on MTV) it's the parents job to turn the T.V off or just tune in to Disney or some other channel

Exactly! Networks cancel long running shows because their ratings decline or because the quality of the shows go down.

If people don't like what they see, they should stop being so closed minded, OR change the channel.

Roseanne: ABC should have pulled the plug on this show right when Roseanne butchered the National Anthem in 1990.

She may have sung it terribly, but at least she knew the words. If these people were expecting it to be sung in perfect harmony, they should have gotten Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight or Gloria Estefan or somebody else who actually had a decent singing career at the time.

As for Springer, it's just gotten old. Back in 1997 and 1998 everybody was watching it was entertaining for some people, but when the controversy got big and the show toned down, and even after they started trying to do what they were famous for in the first place again, it just wasn't the same.

To tell the truth, I'm honestly more offended these days by crappy writing, bad acting, and/or shoddy production values.

One Day At A Time should had ended at the end of the 82-83 season with Ann and Sam marrying and moving off to London (the series finale that happened in 84) would had made a great series finale. The 83-84 season was painful to watch and the show showed its age.

Coach should had ended when Hayden took the offer to coach in Orlando. The last two seasons were not watchable except Shelley Fabares when she straightened her hair in the last season.

Just about all of Norman Lear's shows lasted two seasons too long except for Maude.

We all know Bewitched wore its welcome out.

Three's Company went two seasons too long.

The Cosby Show after the 89-90 season became unwatchable.

Too bad shows don't have the attitude of Bob Newhart, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and Beatrice Arthur in going out on top leaving the audience wanting more.

Coach became so redundant. I never understood what the point of the show after the first two seasons. It was the same corny jokes in the same situations. Why would they continue the show in Orlando, when the show was based on Minnesota?

The Cosby show was a great show for awhile, but it too depicted the same life of the family, but with a the children grown up. Shows about the family aren't meant to show the children moving out IMHO.

Shows that deals with a family especially children involve have a good five years and after that it gets stale and tired. Then it gets into adding a late in life pregnancy or adding a wacky relative moving in to add to the storyline. If anything it makes matters worse.

Family Ties ended just right. But it was getting redundant with the Alex storylines with Meredith Baxter Birney and Michael Gross becoming supporting players. The final season was good with Meredith and Michael being more up and center in the storylines. I understand Meredith was on the brink of quitting after the sixth season but she stayed for the final season. There were some potential storylines could had been dealing with Steven and Elyse's relationship. I enjoyed watching them as a married couple.

Too bad shows don't have the attitude of Bob Newhart, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and Beatrice Arthur in going out on top leaving the audience wanting more.

You forgot Jerry Seinfeld. Coach had decent ratings in it's last season. Shows should just end instead of retooling them when they show age.

It depends on the ages of the kids when the show begins. Shows about high school also have this problem. Head of the Class had the group in high school for five years.

They should have NEVER moved "Matlock"from NBC to ABC.It ran on NBC from 1986 to 1992(The final NBC episode was "The Assassination",and all before that were NBC shows.With the exception of some really good ABC shows-"The Final Affair","The Vacation","The Singer","The Obsession","The Debt" ,"The Fortune","The Conspiracy" and "The Scam"-which were REALLY good,all of the other ABC shows paled in comparison to the NBC versions,and were just plain lousy.

There are so many great shows that went out on top. I Love Lucy and Seinfeld were still #1 at the time they were cancelled. Mary Tyler Moore, Home Improvement, Full House, The Cosby Show, and Mad About You were all still verypopular when they had their series finales. I guess it just depends on the network, and the popularity of the show.

I believe Home Improvement was still averging about 13-15 million viewers when it went off the air. Shows getting that much today would be considered huge hits. Looks at Heroes and Ugly Betty. Both shows only get around 12 million for a regular episodes, yet they're considered to be some of the biggest hits on television today.

Family Matters should've ended after season 4. Not only was it starting to turn in The Steve Urkel Show, with his unrealistic innventions, but Rachel and Judy leaving was the icing on the cake.

I'll just stick to shows I like...

Wings- Should have ended with Joe and Helen's wedding.

The Cosby Show- lasted about two or three years too long.

The Simpsons- I still find it funny, but I agree that the Golden Age has long passed. Still better than anything else on though.

Scrubs- Definitely should end this season.

MASH- Lasted three or four years too long.

ER- Died with Dr. Romano.

Frasier- I loved the first couple of seasons, but lost all interest after Wings ended its run in 1997.

Becker- Should never have replaced Reggie with Piss, I mean, Chris.

Seinfeld 9 season-2 years too long should have went after season 7

even tho 9 years is a long run and a lot of shows are past their expiration date at that point, I think Seinfeld ended at the perfect time. A year earlier would've been too soon but a year longer would've pushed it into Friends territory

SouthPark should of ended when they killed kenny off for good. I had no idea they had bought him back.
actually, I believe SP got better once it stopped having the "oh my God, they killed Kenny", "You bastards!!!" in every episode. Kenny was only gone for a season and he's been back since season 7 (actually, he came back at the end of season 6), but now they only kill him every now and then instead of doing it every week since that got old. Plus, it pushed characters like Butters into the forefront and Butters is the second best character on the show besides Cartman IMO

Family Guy: FOX should have let bygones be bygones in 2002.

Roseanne: ABC should have pulled the plug on this show right when Roseanne butchered the National Anthem in 1990.

I agree with Family Guy. It would've worked so much better as a short-lived cult classic than what it's become.

With Roseanne, considering it was by far ABC's #1 show at that point, they would've been fools to cancel it then. I know Roseanne is a show a lot of people cite when they say it ran too long, but usually it's a season or two in their opinions, not seven seasons. Roseanne didn't even really hit it's stride until AFTER 1990 to a lot of people (amongst most fans, 1991-1994 was the true golden period of the series). If they had cancelled the show in 90, it never would've seen it's full potential, since in the first two seasons, it was mainly a blue collar Cosby Show.

Happy Days should have ended when they magically left the 50's and it turned into the 70's.

What was up with that anyway? I think the decline really began as soon as they turned it into The Fonzie Show, and brought in the studio audience at the start of season three, with all those hooting and hollering kids that would scream every time Fonzie or Chachi walked into the room, or whenever Richie tried to act tough or stand up to somebody. That's one instance where a studio audience ruined a show for me. But it only got worse when, as you say, it magically went from being about the '50s to not resembling anything about the '50s anymore. There were very '70s /'80s hairstyles and clothes that would not have been seen in the '50s, but creeped into the show over time. And then bringing in Suzi Quatro, whose music sounded NOTHING like anything ever heard in the '50s. Totally '70s. And then they started turning Fonzie in to this superhero who would snap his fingers and some sort of magic would happen. So stupid and unrealistic. In the beginning, this show had a real charm and realism about it that gave a real flavor of life in the '50s. I love those early episodes. But the later episodes, which may have seemed "cool" at the time, today are annoying and dated. I love watching reruns of the early episodes, but as soon as they get to the third season, I tune it out.

LOL, like I've said before, you know the show was ready to go when even Anson Williams and Cathy Silvers would get ovations when they came into the room

:yeahthat :yeahthat also; whenever 2 people kissed; the entire audience would shout "WOOOO!!"

:yeahthat :yeahthat also; whenever 2 people kissed; the entire audience would shout "WOOOO!!"

So what were the requirements to be part of that studio audience, that you couldn't be older than 13? It's almost like watching a show on Nickelodean. Even the jokes and dialogue got really sophomoric.

it's been a really long time since I saw the last few years, but wasn't there an episode of two towards the end where Erin Moran was dressed similarly to Jennifer Beals in Flashdance? Yet the show was supposed to be in the 60's in 1983.

I seem to remember that. It was really kinky-curly and big. And Marion Ross and the woman who played Richie's wife were wearing very contemporary hairstyles. It was supposed to be in the mid 1960s towards the end of the series, but nothing about their hair or clothes resembled anything from the 1960s. The same thing goes for Laverne and Shirley.

man, imagine if Happy Days would've gone on until 1986 or so.... Fonzie in a mullet with acid washed jeans

:lol: man, imagine if Happy Days would've gone on until 1986 or so.... Fonzie in a mullet with acid washed jeans

:lol: And Joanie and Mrs. C with big shoulder pads.

Married...with Children - should've ended after Season 7 or 8. the last two to three seasons were just totally unwatchable. it got WAY too over-the-top and cartoonish and they were obviously trying too hard to come up with fresh ideas.

Full House - It would've been perfect if it had ended right around when Jesse and Becky had the twins in Season 5, and then Jesse and Becky moved out...instead, they continued it for three years longer and gave us three terrible seasons.

Charmed - Season 7 would've been a nice time to end it.

Everybody Loves Raymond - started to slow down in Season 8, and probably should've ended right when Robert got married the year before.

The Apprentice - should've ended after the third season...no one cared about it after that.

Who's the Boss? - it started to show it's age in Season 6 and then Season 7 completely sucked. the only thing that saved Season 8 from going down the same path was the twist of Tony and Angela getting together. they probably should've done that in Season 6 and then ended it there.

ER-I wish they would cancel the season already! ER wasn't the same after Anthony Edwards left

Beverly Hills 90210-It went 2 seasons too long but I did love the addition of Valerie "Tiffani Amber Theissan" and Donna and David getting married was a perfect season finale but I think they should have ended at season 8

Simpsons-It should have ended after season 10, they just lost their magic

M*A*S*H 11 Year's

I think it should have ended when Ron howard and Donny most left. I mean the crew had been split in half leaving only fonzie and potsie so I saw no reason for the show to go on any longer.

there was no point in keeping Potsie after Richie and Ralph left. Fonz was able to acquire a new set of friends and Roger was kinda like a (poor mans) new "Richie" for him, but Potsie's presence after 1980 was pointless

I was wondering the same thing

I personally think that adding some new characters of Richie and Ralph left helped it a little I like the later seasons. Yes, Potsie was kind of pointless to have on there after Richie and Ralph left, but I like the later ones when Fonzie is with Ashley, its nice for him to settle down with one girl. That is just my opinion.

Anyway, shows that I think lasted to long were...

M*A*S*H - It just got to be alot of the same thing and I don't think that it needed to last 11 years. Maybe 8 or 9.

Roseanne - It should have only been about 8 years, not 9. The last season wasn't that great.
