Everyone loves to talk about those TV shows that ended before their time, shows like Freaks and Geeks or Firefly that people will cut you over if you talk smack about them. These shows are deified and held up as examples of both everything that is great about television and everything that is wrong with television networks. But the truth is, is that a lot of these shows are remembered fondly because they never had the chance to become parodies of themselves. That’s not quite the case with the shows on this list, all of which managed to hang around and hang around, and then hang around some more until they were little more than zombies, feeding off the brains of their audiences. Indeed, these nine shows all should have ended long before they finally were mercy-killed, but they didn’t and so instead they became nine TV shows that went on too long. Way, way too long.
