It truly is embarrassing and it seems like some really weird stuff that people need advice on. Why anyone wants to embarrass themselves in this way I'll never understand.

I watched up to the end of season two and only stopped watching because there were other shows grabbing at me. I really want to go back and watch season three.

How far did you get with the show before you started find it unworthy or a bore?

Mystic Mock 27-09-2015 12:24 AM

I'm not normally into wanting other peoples shows to be cancelled.

However these are the shows that I feel have lasted way too long and there's no way to really repair them imo which is a shame as they could've been iconic shows if they'd just ended sooner.

The X Factor
The Big Bang Theory
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Doctor Who
Homeland

That's about it as far as I'm aware of for me.

Mystic Mock 27-09-2015 12:31 AM

Oh and as much as I love the show I am worried that five seasons of Bates Motel might be too much.

GLENN BILL BB7 27-09-2015 12:35 AM

The X Factor as the winner never even makes songs anyway so its pointless, Just ****ty sob stories.

Made in Chelsea, Fake and gay.

Doctor who as it got ****e after the best companion ever!!! Rose Tyler left.

I wondered that earlier in the year when they announce it was ending after five, but since then I've kinda talked myself round into thinking they can still do the series justice with five seasons.

I thought the last season of Homeland was its best. I didn't realise they had totally changed the show around from the fist season that I gave up on it in season 3. It was only later when a friend told me to go back that I found it to be much more than what it had been.

Oh I am still watching it and I am obsessed with it but I am also frustrated with it because season 3 and 4 was such melodramatic Bs and lost the essence of what scandal was about. Season 3 and 4a was basically turned into a spy show, turning the main couple into a volatile relationship and villains and ridiculous plots like having to send soldiers to war to save Olivia. But yesterday's episode was decent it looks like they want to get back on track but there is a hill to climb.

Thanks for this. I'm still planning on going back.

I don't mind ridiculous plots, but then again it might be a different when I'm watching it. :D

Thanks again.

Oh it looked better than season 2 and season 3 imo, it's just that I have a policy that if a show butchers itself badly in two of it's first three seasons then I'm out.

Shaun 27-09-2015 03:26 AM

There's plenty I dislike but I'll just list the shows that're really dated and tired and the same old trodden-out dung for years now

- I'm a Celeb... (this got boring in 2008)
- Gogglebox (never liked it but surely the appeal has worn off and they're just fame-hungry try hards now?)
- Bit on the Side (it's difficult enough feigning an interest in the main show lately, this is too much)
- Deal Or No Deal (so so so so so so so old)
- Take Me Out (let the show see the axe!!!!)

Stateside:
- obviously the Simpsons fifteen years ago
- Family Guy five years ago
- The Big Bang Theory when it was conceptualised

Modern Family is kinda nearing this territory too... and American Horror Story should've at least let the gap between series 2 and 3 be a hiatus to work on the actual Story part.

...yeah, this really...axing a show will mean people are without income ...their children will have no food..relationships may be destroyed...everything disintegrates...worlds fall apart..and because WE ARE NOT ENTERTAINED AND YA'LL NEED TO LEAVE OUR SCREEN...

...maybe overthinking it...



..a bit..

None really, if I feel a show has gone off the boil I just stop watching and leave it for people who still enjoy it to carry on. I hate it when shows I really enjoy get cancelled (Tru Calling, Privilidged, The Carrie Diaries, Melrose Place)

I wish a few would shake up the format though and improve to become as good as they used to be...

All the above and I agree with the reasons given, except that in the case of 'Take Me Out' they shouldn't only axe it, they should bury the axe in stupid Paddy McGinty's boot polished head.

Shows I now watch out of habit but are quite bored of that (could) be axed-

The X Factor (although I'm pretty sure by December/January it will be)
Britain's Got Talent

That's it :worry:

Cal. 27-09-2015 06:23 PM

Oh yeah -

Take Me Out
TOWIE (don't watch it that much)

And if it does come back -

Love Island.

LukeB 27-09-2015 06:27 PM

tbh I do feel Big Brother should be axed because I don't think it will ever be the same again.. the producers will carry on killing what use to be a good show

empire 27-09-2015 10:47 PM

X-factor, cowell has conned people far to long with giving them a false promise, in making them into pop singers, and I felt that he has put the death nail into pop music,
