Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

Oh, I disagree about House. I wish that was still going. He was my favorite asshole.

Everything Shonda Rhymes does

Riverdale. It had so many chances to end well, but it just got more and more ludicrous until they just had to reset everything for the last season.

Scrubs, the reboot they kept as the same name for whatever reason with the interns? So bad.

Arrested Development. The streaming seasons. Terrible.

Futurama. This new season is painfully bad.

Seems like almost anything that has a break for more than a couple years and reboots on a streaming service. It's never as good, and often terrible.

Futurama should not have been rebooted.

I tried watching the new Hulu release. It's extremely forced and cringy.

The X-Files. The direction they took after Robert Patrick joined just did not work and felt like a spinoff more than part of the main series.

Roughly 95% of all shows.

It had a phenomenal last episode, but I think most people agree that M*A*S*H went on way too long. They really started running out of good, meaty concepts for shows around the time David Ogden Stiers (nothing against him, I like him) joined the cast.

I love Bones to death, but they really should have stopped it earlier.

Supernatural seasons 2-7 are pretty great, but it just tanks during season 8 IIRC.

American Gods. I mean, still better would have been to just do it as good as the first season

Dexter. Just leave it at the end of season 6, on the giant 'what the fuck' moment. Leave it there with all the potential and possibilities and open questions for people to wonder about.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was almost impressive how they managed to fuck up the ending that badly, revive it for a mini-series, get this close to turning it around and then fuck the ending again lol.
