Name Shows That Wore Out Their Welcome - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Buffyboy323 · 05-04-2006, 08:27 PM

In your opinion, what shows wore out their welcome? And when do you think they should have ended the series?

7th Heaven- Should have ended after Season 6.

ER- Shouold have ended after Season 9.

Friends- After Season 8. Rachel has the baby, and doesn't choose to be with Ross or Joey (This way nobody get's hurt). Monica could have said she's pregnant, Joey say he's going to LA, and the Phoebe/Boyfriend story could have been sqeezed in there. If all this happened here, there would have been no reason at all the spread everything out for two more years.

Diff'rent Strokes- After Season 6. For one reason and one reason only: We would have never met Sam!!!

Charles In Charge- After Season 4. Although Season 4 did suck, IMO, Season 5 was just horrible. There's only about 6 or 7 episodes even worth watching.

Baywatch- After Season 6. (Even though I do like the Donna, Manny, Tracy, Logan and Hobie all grown up episodes). The show was never the same after Summer, Matt, CJ, Cody and Stephanie left. Luckily there was still eye candy.

Smallville- After Season 5. After the 100th episode this past January, I kinda lost interest in the show. I don't think it's as good as it was, despite this year being the biggest ratings for Smallville ever!...Since #100, the episodes have been bomb after bomb. maybe it's just me, but I don't feel the same about the show. And I can only imagine where another year is gonna take us.

Laverne and Shirley- After Season 6. I didn't really like the California episodes in Season 7. And Season 8 had no Shirley. It became the Laverne and Squiggy show. ABC was more interested in their pockets, than in the quality of what was once a great show.

Sopranos- After Season 4. Season 5, although I did watch, wasn't all that good until the last couple of episodes. And this year, UGH!..I cannot even sit through it anymore. I just skim through the episodes so I can see what's going on, but it's not good anymore.

Beverly Hills 90210- After Season 8. Valerie left. And Brandon was only in the first 4 or 5 episodes the following year. I could have done without the return of Dylan in the final Season. Although still worth watching, at this point the show just wasn't what it once was.

Three's Company- After Season 7. The show started to get weak in the 7th Season, and would remain that way until the end of the series. Season 8 did have some good episodes, but they could have made some great episodes in Season 7 and called it quits.

I don't think Smallville's welcome has been worn out at all! I love the show and I'm glad it's still going strong. Even after Jonathan's death, it's still extremely intriguing to me and I love tuning in every week.

Brian Damage · 05-04-2006, 08:50 PM

The Drew Carey show definitely wore out its welcome.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the show and all. I just think it should end cause it's getting alittle weak now. Maybe the final few episodes of this season and next year will change my mind.

I agree about 7th Heaven.
The WB is driving me crazy with all of the promos for the series finale.

Just go already!

Skywalker · 05-04-2006, 09:34 PM

Coach - After season 7. The show was never the same when they moved to Orlando.

EmoJoe · 05-04-2006, 10:31 PM

definitely 7th Heaven. 10 seasons is crazy. it should have ended after season 7 or 8.

I Know!!! And you would think that a show that has been number one on their Network for 10 straight years, and with all the promos and hipe from The WB, that it would atleast get a 2 hour Finale. Not that I actually want one, LOL.

Roseanne after Season 8

Mr. Television · 05-04-2006, 11:19 PM

7th Heaven should have ended after Barry Watson's character got married. I lost interest when all the new characters came on. The Drew Carey Show was a shell of what it used to be its last 2 or 3 years. I'll add Charm into that. I used to love the show but after Shannen Doherty left it wasn't as good and I gave up on it after last years finale. I'll probably watch the final because I seem to do that even with show's I don't watch anymore. I'll probably watch 7th Heaven, Malcolm In The Middle and That 70's Shows finals too. I had stopped watching them too. Smallville however is still pretty good.
