Shows That Just Need To Die Seriously

Also the Simpsons just needs to quit. They're not fooling anyone anymore. It's okay to admit that they've run out of ideas, but they refuse to do so, even dipping so low as to introduce this ridiculous gay marriage thing. I know there are many Simpsons fans here, but really now, they've been on the air long enough, and it's time to quit. Personally I'd rather see more episodes of Futurama, which I feel was canned long before its time.

So I'm a fan, and I'm glad it's still on. If you don't like it, ignore it. (I don't love Raymond, but nobody asked me.) Besides, it's a flagship for Fox.
If you admittedly "jump the shark*," it's not the same.

The Simpsons must go and so must That 70s Show. 70s used to be pretty funny but lately the writing sucks, the jokes way off and the actors just giving half assed performances... and it's supposed to go on for another season even though stars Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher are leaving at the end of this season.
The fact that Laura Prepon showed up sporting blonde hair instead of her usual red was a bad omen.
For me the last really funny season of the Simpsons was the 1995-1996 season (which opened with the 2nd half of the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" storyline). When the 1996-1997 season started I watched like any fan would, but something was different, very wrong - the show didn't seem as funny. Everything about the show seemed off: the writing was off, the jokes were off, the characterizations were off, nothing was clicking. So for me the show stopped being funny when I entered the 7th grade, aged 13.

There are some that are just mindless fluff, and I deal with it by not reading certain threads.
If you don't like the Simps, don't watch it. It's not hurting anyone.
But yeah, this IS the place for you all to groan about how bad the Simpsons has become, so I won't pretend otherwise.
I will, however, defend it as I did upon it's release.

Anyway: Shows that should die include America's Next Top Model and The Apprentice. The former was never good (the girls didn't have one pillow fight!), while the latter jumped the shark early into this recent season when Don Trump took credit for an event that has been the stuff of Urban Legend for more than fifty years.

Other shows that must die: Any currently running saturday morning cartoon show, especially those based on characters that were popular when my generation was young. Where was the Kirby show when I was 8, fuckers? Also all reality television, made for TV anime... Hmm... I stopped watching television regularly when I realized it was utter shit. Now I just watch the Daily Show and Adult swim at night, so I'm low on TV shows to hate.
