Here are a list of shows that lasted WAY too long-1)"Matlock"-This NBC show,cancelled by NBC in 1992 ,and was picked up by ABC(big mistake),and should've ended after the first ABC season,which was okay,but all of the other ABC seasons were bad.2)"Get Smart"-This comedy classic of the 1960's when it was cancelled by NBC,in 1969,should have ended right then and there.Instead,CBS picked it up.and it wasn't funny anymore.3)"M*A*S*H*-Toward the end,it got kind of boring,and not as funny as before.Know of any more?Feel free to post.

Scrubs. It was a great show but they've kept it going long after its time.

HAPPY DAYS is the epitome of this category haha, those post Richie years get increasingly painful for a show that was so great in its heyday

a few others:
Bewitched - Elizabeth Montgomery looks beyond bored during the last year or two
Roseanne - need I say more
Rhoda - didn't last that long overall but lost its focus badly during the end

"LAVERNE & SHIRLEY"-should've ended after the Millwaukee years.
"MASH"-should've ended after the 8th or 9th season.

Law and Order-this went on way too long, and they had more than one, so how in the hell could anybody keep up??

Seinfeld

The Simpsons, and Saturday Night Live-these two shows should have been flushed down the toilet where they belong years ago.

Yep. The last couple seasons get so boring at times, they are almost unwatchable.

I can't even watch those shows anymore. They were barely toleable to begin with and they have not aged well. I mean, how many kids (Chachi) had denim jackets and a shag haircut in the early sixties. He would have been beaten up and branded a "hippie" back then.

And Fonzie was getting way too old to be trolling for teenage girls.

Yeah, all those lasted about 3 seasons too long.

I'd like to add The X-Files, Dallas, Frasier, Seinfeld, Roseanne (at LEAST one year), definitely Happy Days and L & S, and probably many more I'm not thinking of right now.

When Ann Romano is married and happy, it's time to say good night.

Also,"My Three Sons"lasted too long,I(Steve should've never married again)s did "Good Times"(the times weren't so good at the end,after James was killed off and when Florida left it should've said so long.The ones with no parents-just the kids and Willona,and(ugh)Penny,were not very good.
