What Sitcoms Are Ending in 2005??

[barwars]

What "long running" shows are ending next summer??

I know for a fact that That 70's Show is ending.
I've also heard about Will & Grace stepping down.

How about anything else??

Raymond will be put out of it's misery too.

I just hope there's some new good sitcoms to take off.

If not... outside of the animated shows, Arrested Development and Scrubs... the sitcom will be officially dead come 2005-2006 unless we can find a huge sitcom.

I have a feeling (hope) that reality is going to play out soon

I meant sitcoms that aren't entirely bad.

Joey will be a success for sure, it has a built-in audience, and from what Ive read its doing pretty good with critics.
ABC's current batch may stay around, but nothing is really standing out. (but I dont see either of their new shows lasting)
CBS's new shows sounded good, but I dont think Listen Up will be a success. Center Of The Universe is a tossup. As for their returning series, all they have is The King of Queens (any idea when they plan on ending this?), Two and A Half Men (which will run stale soon, they should've made the son younger) and Still Standing -- which about 4 people have heard of.

King Of The Hill might end.

FOX's only successful animated show I dont like.
Maybe because its about rednecks, but still -- glad to see it go.

It's very sad that King Of The Hill is still in production, yet Futurama isn't.

So true
I've never been able to watch King of the Hill and loved Futurama.

I find it funny that so many people hate Everybody Loves Raymond yet critics can't get enough of it. It's won a few Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAGS. I too don't like it but it seems like everyone here can't stomach it.

Actually NBC has yet to make an official decsision regaurging "Will and Grace". the rumors started because the shows contract with NBC and the actors end at the end of the season. Also the obvious dip in quality and ratings. But NBC has reached no official decsision. If NBC can convince all of the actors to sign on again it will come back, if not then we can kiss it goodbye. believe me if it was official it would have had some SERIOUS press coverage. and so far i've heard not a single word about anything official.

I don't mind it. I like it much better than Friends.

what about it is better than Friends? Ray Ramano and Brad Garrett are hands down the two most unappeling, ugly and annoying actors to ever star in a tv show, and I hate the way they both sound when they talk, they make Fran Drescher sound bearable.

As you know, I prefer Friends ten times over ELR.
But one arguement you made in that post really irks me.
I dont think a persons looks should define whether or not a show is any good.

For example, I think Roseanne is very unattractive (not the ugliest woman in the world, but definately not the prettiest)
But I think Roseanne is one of the best shows ever.

Brad Garrett isnt too bad (he deserves better)
But Im just not a fan of Ray Romano, next to the "blue collar comedy" guys, he's my least favorite comic.

Well if you only go by looks then I guess Friends would win hands down ( Although I happen to think Patricia Heaton is hot). I happen to like sitcoms that have a good story behind it. I'm sorry but the Rachel-Ross will they or won't they storyline was just getting old. Phoebe was won of the most anoying characters ever on a sitcom. The only one I really liked on Friends was Courtney Cox. I don't watch ELR much but I do like the chemistry between the stars and Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle are a riot. I prefer anyone of the cast of ELR to anyone on the cast of Friends anyday. As for Fran Drescher's voice, I needed a good laugh.

I agree. If you are judging shows by looks, than yes, Friends would win, but that's kinda sad if one of the reasons you think a show sucks is because someone is unattractive. I happen to like both ELR and Friends. The problem here is that certain people can't accept that some like ELR more than Friends. Just because some may like Friends more, doesn't mean all will. Shocker, I know!
