The following shows should stay:

The Simpsons (although an end date must be seriously considered)
Futurama
King of the Hill

The following shows must go:

Friends (never funny)

South Park (never funny, sometimes offensive)

Will and Grace ("I'm gay, give me an Emmy even though I'm totally mediocre!")

Everybody Loves Raymond (misnomer)

Malcolm in the Middle (if they gave awards for most sitcoms plagiarized in 22 minutes, this would win hands down; I could forgive them if this show were funny)

Titus (named after Shakespeare's least popular play, Titus Andronicus)

That 70s Show (anachronisms and lame writing synergized)

ER (aka St. Elsewhere lite)

Saturday Night Live (it's more like that old man in "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" who was put out in the cart of dead people despite his cries of "I'm not dead, I feel fine!")

Shows in danger:

NYPD Blue (unless they get rid of Mark-Paul Goselaar; I hold a grudge against everyone from Saved by the Bell)

Rugrats (a good show, but the past season has been quite uneven)

I think they should disband the TV networks. Once "The Simpsons" are gone, I'll be cutting the cable and only watching stuff I've got on tape or DVD. Maybe I'll move to Europe, or at the very least, catch up on more reading.

baseball games: baseball on TV has forced lots of games to be played at night instead of the daytime, and therefore young children have to stay up very late to catch the end of the game, unlike in the old days when games were played during the day.

Add to the list:

Jerry Springer
Howard Stern

What needs to go are the Reality shows, not wrestling. Shows like Survivor, big Brother, temptation Island, and so on.
