Shows That Are/Went Past Their Prime
I signed up for a Netflix free trial and went on a South Park binge since I don't really watch t.v. at regular intervals like normal people. The one thing I took from it was that they probably should have stopped two seasons ago. The clever satire is gone and it seems like they're trying to hard to be edgy.

I've heard people make similar comments about the Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad.

So I wonder, what shows do you guys think should probably be put down or went on for too long?

As much as I loved Entourage it started to become "samey" after like 3 seasons.

Ari was the best part of the show and even his quips got progressively lamer.

Family Guy for almost a half decade. Haven't watched it in a while but when I do it just isn't that funny. Seasons before its cancellation were much different, and seemingly more entertaining for me.

Started talking about south park in another thread. They've been doing it for 50 years and they have other things they want to do, but they have to keep their "day job". NBT is right in that is seems they are just trying to be edgy and goofy now. That short doc they did about making the centipad episode sums it up.

Used to like Entourage but then it got a big d bag following and it followed the same formula. Things get a little worse then they get a lot better.

Haven't seen the latest season but an Office without Michael Scott sounds like shit.

Simpsons should be example #1. I've never seen the movie and I never will. It's all just homer getting hit in the head with things, homer falling through things, jamming a celebrity guest into the episode as themselves. Too many writers, not enough of the original players being involved. Everyone just shows up to collect a check because people see Simpsons and think its funny.

You know what was the original shark jumper of our time? The Real World. Memba when it really was an experiment to see what happens when you take 7 people from different backgrounds and make them live in a house together?

Somehow it turned into "what happens when we take 7 attractive early to mid 20 somethings, and stick them in a pallacial mansion filled to the brim with booze and a hot tub?"

Simpsons is the example. Think back to the 90s and how awesome it was, and look at it now, it's destroying its own reputation. It would have the biggest cult following and respect from virtually everybody who knows of it, if it ended at a proper time. That said, I still watch it and love it ><

Scrubs season 9 shouldn't have happened, it would have ended perfectly otherwise.

Don't agree with Family Guy, it's still funny/relevant

South Park should have ended around season 10-12, although it still has certain episodes that amaze, it used to be the opposite with only certain episodes not being amazing

Don't agree with How I met your Mother either, it still feels fresh.

Office should have ended with Micheal Scott leaving (they should have done all the 'endings' they are doing for the characters now, back then)

the last 2 - 3 seasons of Malcolm in the Middle were awful

Have to see the second half of Season 5 to make a judgement on Breaking Bad, but the first half of season 5 sucks so much compared to the rest of the series that I almost think they should have made Season 4 the conclusion.

Seriously? Show is fantastic still. But How I Met Your Mother still feels fresh? The hell?

I agree with you on Family Guy. I enjoy it a lot still and think it's better since it was revived from cancellation. I've gone back and watched the older ones, hell they're the only episodes I own on DVD, and they're actually kind of brutal to watch.

I don't think it is terrible either... but it feels like it is missing something. Plus if they were just gonna end the show in two seasons anyways, might have just ended it back then.

The things is, I'm comparing Breaking Bad to itself. Season 4 was almost the best season of any TV show ever, and season 5 has been a joke in comparison. I just really think they could do better. Maybe they set the bar too high. I also probably would not be saying this had I not already known Season 5 was the last season. It should go past season 5 or end at season 4 is what I meant really.

How I met your mother is clearly working towards a set conclusion and I like that.

Yeah, really. Could have ended it over a decade ago and it would have gone out with a great reputation for quality.

Season 8.

Still enjoy South Park though, Family Guy/American Dad has always been kinda meh though, gotta be in the mood for it and Damn Inator randomly replying to threads with shitty Family Guy vids doesn't help the cause.

the thing about HIMYM is that most of his stories (seem to) have something to do with how he met their mom. I mean it does go off on random tangents but I'd say at least 60-70% of what he talks about is relevant to the main story. But yes it's silly that he's telling his kids stories of girls he banged, no kid wants to know about that

What if it turns out he's actually gay with Neil Patrick Harris and they used Alison Hannigan as a surrogate mother and all of it ends in one big swerve where Jason Segel saves the day?

Also not really sure what Jason Segel is saving the day from, but any time Jason Segel is made to look good is a tally in the plus column for any show/movie.

Even though it got cancelled, Terminator: TSCC was a good one. Got boring quick during the 2nd season, then it got interesting right at the end. But it was too little, too late. Ratings did the damage.

TSCC is the underrated show on this one. Sure, it had bad episodes in season 2 but still, Summer Glau outshines every human cast there is.. Even though Lena plays a good Sarah Connor herself.

Shows that went past their prime:

Jersey Shore
Honey Boo Boo
Survivor
Big Bang Theory
Glee

Need I add more?

While it isn't as bad as people say in my opinion, it isn't season 1-10 good either.

Think of it as today in WWE versus attitude era.

Can't believe I forgot the Office. The episodes from the past two seasons have really been hit or miss in my opinion and I agree that they probably would have been better off ending it after Michael Scott left.

The Simpsons was the first thing that came to mind.

I've said it alot here on TPWW, so I'll just quote myself to save time.

Quote:

I can watch some newer episodes once, maybe twice before getting sick of it and not finding it funny anymore, unlike older ones where I can watch them countless amounts of times and still find myself laughing at the jokes, but this isn't a rant, even though it reads like it, but just my thoughts.

What annoys me about the newer episodes is the fact that almost every episode has a "Special Guest" now. Rarely do I come across a newer episode without a "Celebrity" appearance. The majority of the time, it's someone who's only seen as a celebrity in Canada, America and maybe even Mexico, so I'm totally lost as to who it is. Also, there was a period that the majority of the newer episodes were dealing with "real life issues", such as Springfield legalising Gay Marriages or Bart becoming another statistic of Childhood Obesity and so on. It's all well and good that the writers are raising the issue, but I watch The Simpsons to have a laugh, not to re-watch the news, if you know what I mean.

Also, to me, the jokes aren't as funny as they once were and sometimes it seems like they're trying too hard, and they have an entire city of characters at their disposal to create stories about, but instead, they only ever really work around The Simpsons Family, Mr. Burns, Moe, Apu, Principle Skinner, Ned and "Celebrity Character". I would love to see some episodes about Jasper, or just Lenny or Mayor Quimby, Dolph or even Herman. While on the subject of characters, the staff have seem to have dramatically changed the characters from what they were originally.

For example, Homer these days isn't just a slow, family loving man. In the newer episodes, he comes across as being a bit of dick towards his family and very selfish. Bart has went from being a "cool rebel" who was constantly a pain in the ass for everyone, to a innocent little kid who doesn't really cause trouble. In previous episodes, he's owned weapons, offered to take up smoking, drank alcohol and hijacked a tank and driven it around Springfield, but in later episodes he's a completely innocent child who doesn't even know about sex and thinks girls have "Cooties" and is very good friends with Ralph, and we all know what Ralph is like. Along with Mr. Burns changing from a heartless tyrant to what can be seen as being a good friend of The Simpsons family, Moe changing from constantly angry to constantly depressed and suicidal and others, it just irks me sometimes.

And lastly, at this stage, The Simpsons have pretty much covered everything....

The scene where Homer and Tony Hawk fight in the air on their skateboards made me think "this is stupid" for the first time about The Simpsons....

....It seems like with the newer episodes the writers are just trying to cram as many "celebrities" into the shows history as they can, that is seems like instead of the original process of writing episodes and thinking of a celebrity who could appear in the episode, they do it the other way around and think of a celebrity to appear in the show and then write a story around them.

Classic Simpsons I'll watch, but the newer episodes just make me cringe and are awkward to watch and just generally don't make me laugh like the older episodes do.
I agree with V on Scrubs, Family Guy and a little bit on South Park.

Scrubs Season 9 shouldn't have happened. I tried watching it but it was just terrible. It wasn't Scrubs. It also took away everything from "My Finale". You watched "My Finale" and it was a great way to say goodbye to the series. But all that got thrown out the window when Season 9 was made.

Family Guy, I still find very enjoyable. I enjoy it much more than American Dad!, even though pretty much everyone I come across thinks American Dad! is the superior series.

South Park, I still really enjoy but there are times where an episode just isn't funny or it feels like it's dragging on a bit or more could have been done. A great example is the episode "W.T.F", where the kids start up a wrestling promotion after going to a Raw event.

The episode was good and I had a laugh at it, but at time, it felt like it dragged on a bit without anything funny going on. Such as the scenes where Vince McMahon is watching the kids' "wrestling" show. More wrestling related jokes could have been put into the episode but you just got your usual "Wrestling is fake", "It's acting", "Fans are Rednecks", "Amateur Wrestling looks gay" jokes, which were good, but it was nothing original.

Also, I thought that South Park would have taken a shot at Professional Wrestling a long time ago, instead, they decided to do it in 2009.

Prison Break had a great first season and the rest was quite underwhelming (season 2 wasn't terrible though, just not up to the standards of season 1. 3 and 4 were awful.). Might've worked better as one or two shorter seasons with it ending when they actually got out of prison.

Prison Break was a phenomenal first season but then lost mad steam.

As much as I love 24, the last 2 seasons were kinda shite. Except for Tony Almeda. And after Edgar died I couldn't watch it the same way.

I can't help but wonder if Community might be on this list after the upcoming season. They lose Harmon, three regular writers and Chevy Chase. I don't expect to see the same quality show.
