The Office picked up speed and got it’s own style after Season 2; it no longer was constrained by remaking the UK version (season 1 is my least favorite because it tried so hard to be the UK version note for note…down to Michael’s horrible hairstyle). I agree it’s waned in the past season, but I’m hopeful for the upcoming one with a new boss…Michael was just getting to the point where his antics were desensitized and didn’t have any effect.

Part of me still wishes the Simpsons would have gracefully bowed out after season 10.

I have to somewhat disagree about Smallville.

There are a couple of hit & miss seasons and horrible plotlines (anything involving Lana Lang)…but this current season is absolutely amazing and is shaping up to be the best season so far. Granted, they have been stretching it at times over the past few seasons and the dumbest thing they could have done was let Allison Mack & Michael Rosenbaum go…but overall, the show has been solid…unlike Heroes, which should have been a one season deal.

I think House really ended with season three. Foreman left, Chase got fired, and Cameron quit. What could be a more perfect ending for such a bitter, hateful misanthrope? House is left alone, and, if I’m reading the final shot correctly, is okay with it. I’ve tried watching it off and on since then, but the show just doesn’t seem to go anywhere and I totally lost interest. Now if I want a House fix, I watch some of the first three seasons which I have on DVD.

Another show of Hugh Laurie’s that outstayed its welcome was Jeeves and Wooster. 1 through 3 are gold, but series 4 looks like it was written by someone who didn’t know who PG Wodehouse was.

I guess there’s so just so much money to be made in television, people just don’t know when to walk away.

I’m pretty sure I’m just feeding a troll here, the troll being the author of this article, but here it goes anyway.

Lost is the most legendary sci-fi mystery show of the last several decades, the show that every network is scrambling (and failing) to reproduce. It is a masterpiece; the best 6 seasons of television drama ever and you would like to erase 5 of them from the annuls of history. DIAF.

The Office is no different than Seinfeld. It has been hilarious the entire time and still is. Season 7 has been one of the best yet. The addition of Ellie Kemper has cranked the funny meter up one notch higher. It hasn’t jumped the shark… YET. Yes, when Steve Carell leaves it may go south and fast, but only time will tell.

Another show that has pretty much jumped the shark is House. Once he started dating Cuddy anything that was left to be interesting about that show vanished, there are only so many times it can’t be Lupus.

Not sure it was mentioned anywhere in the comments yet, but one show that needs to be cancelled asap imo is Family Guy. It used to be funny random humor that made me love the show. I can honestly say after watching most seasons, they start to get really lame after about season 4. Just watched the new one last sunday and it seems blatantly obvious that they are running out of ideas and humor.

Agree with you on lost. The 1st seaon was good. Second not so good, then just went down hill. Stopped watching in 3. I went to my parents one time and couldnt belive that lost was still running.

I used to love smallville. Prob one of my fav shows, the 1st few seasons anyway. Tbh i havnt seen it in years and how no idea its in its 10th season did you say? I agree that really once he left collage and went out into the real world, it should’v ended. Dragging shows on like they do just ruins it tbh

@SinisterMarmalade Was season eight where JD had that montage of the future? If so, I totally agree and was actually disappointed the show came back for another season. That felt like the best possible series ender and could have been one of the better ones of any show.

And don’t get me started on this most recent failed attempt that was missing like half the characters.

I am (to this day) a huge fan of ‘Scrubs,’ but I will testify to my last breath that it should have stopped at the end of season eight. Also, the best episodes were in the first three seasons (before JD became a parody of himself). I love all the actors in it, but damn people, season eight ended perfectly, they really intended to stop things there, then they just tack on another season, with a different set, annoying new interns, less time on the original characters that made the series great, and they have to hackney a plot into place to get JD back. It sucked hard.
