TV Shows that lost their appeal a long time ago

[Shaun]

Take Me Out (never had any tho)
and ESPECIALLY Come Dine With Me... why is this still on

[Kate!]

Deffo come dine.

[Jordan.]

Deal or No Deal, literally just a platform for sob stories now rather than a gameshow.

[HD]

Take Me Out had none lbh
Waterloo Road
downton Abbey
Come Dine

[Drew.]

Deal or no deal

[Chuck]

Chelsea Lately

[Black Dagger]

TOWIE is so pointless now

[Niamh.]

agree with Take me out and Deal or No Deal, also BGT and X factor

[MTVN]

agree with Take me out and Deal or No Deal, also BGT and X factor

Yeah these two, would add IAC to that list as well

[Natalie.]

BGT yeah think it's crap

[Shaun]

IAC is an obvious shout; how many times can zelebs eating bugs be interesting?

[Samm]

IAC, boring and dull

[smeagol]

i like come dine but i cant get into it lately .

pretty much everything on normal tv needs to go. i wouldn't miss any of them.

but top of my list is the simpsons. that crap will be playing at 6pm everyday on channel 4 100 years after im dead. it needs to f off asap
x factor and eastenders ran out of steam long ago they can do one as well

[Cherie]

Hands off CDWM :nono: IAC, Comic/Sport relief, Children in Need etc

[Ramsay]

Deal or No Deal, literally just a platform for sob stories now rather than a gameshow.

[2]
Every episode these days has someone crying. so annoying

[LaLaLand]

BGT
Ant & Dec's Sat Night Takeaway
TOWIE
Deal or No Deal

[Saph]

Children in need is just another excuse to wear a onesie in public nowadays

[InOne]

It's probably time for Hollyoaks to die.

[Joelle.]

The Big Bang Theory

[Marc]

Big brother

[InOne]

If this series of Jonathan Creek is bad too it needs to go as well. It lost it's charm a while ago for me.

[Headie]

Strictly Come Dancing, Got To Dance, Dancing On Ice (thank God it's finishing) etc.

Basically any dance shows.

[Glenn.]

Big brother

This tbh

I think its slowly rebuliding its appeal now its established on C5 though. Very slowly.

[Marsh.]

If this series of Jonathan Creek is bad too it needs to go as well. It lost it's charm a while ago for me.

Taking the windmill away did it for me. :mad:

[mizzy25]

Ive never understood deal or no deal load of bull tbh
I agree about the simpsons too hate it.

[Gstar]

Big brother

this. glad that someone had the guts to say it

also TOWIE needs to be axed now

[GiRTh]

X Factor

[Raph]

I'd say 'Judge Judy' and 'the Jeremy Kyle Show' for one.

Also no dude Take me out is the ****

[Black Dagger]

Take Me Out was good for series one because it was cute and quirky, now they're all ****ing moronic ***** who are desperate for their 5 seconds. It takes itself way to seriously now.

[MTVN]

Dare I say the Chase has slightly run its course now :ninja2:

[Raph]

Dare I say the Chase has slightly run its course now :ninja2:

What am I reading :eek:

[Ramsay]

[Mystic Mock]

The Big Bang Theory
Dancing On Ice
Homeland
Fairly Odd Parents (I still enjoy the earlier episodes though)

Tbh there's more but they are the shows that I've felt have been affected for the worst all because they've dragged on for too long and should've ended while they was still strong, especially TBBT which is so **** nowadays.

And I'm also into more risky stuff at the minute so most of the time I'm watching Anime as it doesn't shove too much romance down my face without no story.

[Mystic Mock]

Dare I say the Chase has slightly run its course now :ninja2:

Bradley Walsh annoys me but I still like the concept even if a bit repetitive.

[Benjamin]

It's probably time for Hollyoaks to die.

I was thinking this earlier when it came on, I forgot it still existed

[Benjamin]

Dare I say the Chase has slightly run its course now :ninja2:

This and Pointless are ****

Dancing On Ice, Strictly and Splash

[Jordan.]

Agreed with Hollyoaks, it's a never ending rehash of students and the bad guy who gets killed and replaced by a new one

[Mystic Mock]

Don't people get killed all the time on Hollyoaks?

[InOne]

Think there was over 10 deaths in 2013. If they need a cast cull they'll just bring back some random psycho to plant a bomb then leave again.

[Amy Jade]

Dr Who
Glee
Holby City
How I Met Your Mother
The Simpsons
Big Bang Theory
Grey's Anatomy
Deal or No Deal
Home and Away

[Mystic Mock]

Think there was over 10 deaths in 2013. If they need a cast cull they'll just bring back some random psycho to plant a bomb then leave again.

The new slogan on the Adverts should be "don't live in Hollyoaks if you value your life" it would get people hooked in for definite.:joker:

[King Gizzard]

Still love the Chase, but tired of Pointless and exhausted of Deal or No Deal

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, I think The Chase and Pointless are overdone.

BRING BACK GOLDENBALLS.

[Black Dagger]

This and Pointless are ****

Dancing On Ice, Strictly and Splash

Dancing on Ice is ending this series anyway, and Splash NEVER had appeal, keep up xo

[InOne]

I hope to god no Big Fat Gypsy nonsense comes back

[King Gizzard]

jonathan ross show = hes just a caricature of himself now and just really cringe and annoying, plus rarely has a great set of guests

24 hours in ae..swear it has been on every week for the last year. It was great but there's been too much of it for too long now

[Glenn.]

Dr Who
Glee
Holby City
How I Met Your Mother
The Simpsons
Big Bang Theory
Grey's Anatomy
Deal or No Deal
Home and Away

Doctor Who has never been stronger than it is now :smug:

[Mystic Mock]

Steven Moffat has killed Doctor Who for me.

[Amy Jade]

Doctor Who has never been stronger than it is now :smug:
I disagree. It's been awful for a few years now.

[King Gizzard]

*always been awful

[Glenn.]

I disagree. It's been awful for a few years now.

In your opinion. The millions of viewers it gets across the globe would disagree with you though.

[King Gizzard]

and that, ladies and gentleman, is my first Dr Who diss of the year, and it took 2 months and 12 days

[Glenn.]

Nigel please

[T*]

The Simpsons.

[Mystic Mock]

In your opinion. The millions of viewers it gets across the globe would disagree with you though.

It's lost ratings in the UK, and barely kept up with Merlin in America, that's not exactly a ratings giant.

Steven Moffat with his poor casting and bad/childish stories aren't helping it either imo.

[Amy Jade]

In your opinion. The millions of viewers it gets across the globe would disagree with you though.
Yes in my opinion which is what the OP asked, no? But if you want to go the 'viewers' route did the last series not take a drop in ratings from the one before it?

[Mystic Mock]

Out of the Sci-Fi shows on air at the minute I know it's an Anime but it's one that I recommend to anyone that doesn't want to feel like the writers are treating you like morons.

DgDBzAHg4wU

The second season will be back on air at some point next month.

[Black Dagger]

Dr Who is awful.

[Kizzy]

Loads of stuff, the most annoying are gameshows hijacked by zelebs for charidee....just foff!

[Glenn.]

Yes in my opinion which is what the OP asked, no? But if you want to go the 'viewers' route did the last series not take a drop in ratings from the one before it?

A very minor drop if any. I dont think a show like Doctor can ever lose its appeal. It reinvents itself. The 50th alone shows it appeal.

Steven Moffat with his poor casting and bad/childish stories aren't helping it either imo.

Steven Moffat with his poor casting? What are you talking about? The stories aren't bad if you compare them to the RTD days.

And the same Steven Moffat and his poor casting and rubbish stories helped take Doctor Who global. A feat RTD never achieved.

Dr Who is awful.

:nono:

[HD]

Dr Who is embarrassing lbh

[Redway]

It's lost ratings in the UK, and barely kept up with Merlin in America, that's not exactly a ratings giant.

To be fair, America's an absolutely enormous country (especially in comparison to the UK), so its figures don't reflect what we get. And also there's been a general decline in viewership all over terrestrial television due to changing trends in catch-up, multichannels and all that.

[Marsh.]

Uh, Doctor Who was getting big in America during the RTD and David Tennant days.

Steven Moffat and Matt Smith took the show on and relished in its growing popularity but it wasn't them that got that ball rolling.

[Ramsay]

Used to think Who was crap. gave it a chance when my brother got the dvds..gotta say it grew on me. not the greatest show ever made but its still decent. although tbf i've just finished the Tennent years

[Shaun]

prepare yourself for a fall, Karl

Smith was good, but the writing was not.

[Mystic Mock]

:nono:

Doctor Who has always been a bit global though?:conf: And it's not a ratings giant in other countries it just does enough to get by, but Doctor Who could be a ratings hit in America and not lost 2 to 3 million viewers in the UK if Doctor Who actually grew up and actually not make it look like that a kids Sci Fi show is the only thing that the UK can make.

[Mystic Mock]

It's the way our media has brainwashed people into thinking that it's a ratings giant in America for us though when Merlin and Downton Abbey (especially Downton Abbey) rate higher in America yet our media doesn't/didn't push for them at all.

You realise its a family show though right? And it hasn't always been a global hit. It's only recently gone global. In the context of the thread, it hadn't lost its appeal, it's going the complete opposite.

[Mystic Mock]

It's our only Sci-Fi show around it should be more mature than it is, and also it behaves far more like something out of CBBC than it does anything like Pirates Of The Caribbean.

And you've took this thread too literal, it only means what shows have lost appeal for you, but as I've already said earlier Doctor Who is losing appeal as it's not the ratings giant it once was.

[HD]

I've always thought of Dr Who as a "kids/teenage" show :umm2:

[Marsh.]

It's primarily a show for a kids/family audience. That's what it is, always has been and always will be.

You're asking for a completely different show. It was never meant to be a show that takes itself too seriously and aimed at a purely adult audience, it's Saturday teatime entertainment.

You realise its a family show though right? And it hasn't always been a global hit. It's only recently gone global. In the context of the thread, it hadn't lost its appeal, it's going the complete opposite.

It's always been shown around the world, it's not only recently gone global. Even then it's not some kind of huge hit, it's popular but nothing extraordinary.

:conf: What are you talking about? Since it returned in 2005 it's mostly been around the 6-8 million mark. It's still no different now.

The last episode at Christmas recorded over 11 million viewers. The 50th anniversary got around 12 million. So where is this loss you speak of?

[Glenn.]

Not to mention how much the 50th took in box office

Actually away from the specials taking away recordings Matt Smith/Steven Moffat's Doctor Who has sometimes pulled in 5.5 million viewers, imo that's a drop especially considering the other two Doctors pulled in 7 to 8 million viewers.

[Jarrod]

Come Dine, Coach Trip, Splash, I'm A Celebrity, BGT, The X Factor, Hollyoaks.

[Moviefan]

Well not big fan of this thread, So many of my fav shows been listed lol

Leave Hollyoaks alone, I love the fact that things happen in each episode, (There maybe over the the top) and its' the only fast movie soap at the moment

unlike the other soaps this week, more thing happen in Oaks in first two days, then corrie and EE happen all week put together!

But I do Agree with How I met your mother, should have ended before season 5!
I still watched it now and again!

Not sure about Doctor who when David was on it, watch first scenes of Mat one, I just could not used to being the doctor!

Might get back into, with Doctor, I did miss two series!

I Can't actually think of show, that would to axed, if this posted 2 years ago, I would have said Hollyoaks :joker:

[Alf]
