Default What Shows SHOULD be cancelled?

I can't figure out how "The War At Home" stays on the air? The laugh track is bad, the timing stilted, the characters may as well be in a comic book for how 2 dimensional they are.

What other Prime Time shows (because there is a lot of crap out there, this may narrow it down) should have been put out of their misery long ago?

Can someone please explain "Deal Or No Deal". As far as I can tell, the only skill involved is the ability to randomly select a number between 1 and 25 (I think). I watched it for a bit last night and the woman was actually picking balls out of a paper bag and the audience would wildly applaud her choice.

That show (and Howie Mandel) should be cancelled for the dumbingdownity they promote.

lol. Looking at the thread title my first thought was War at Home. Awful show. Family Guy is getting stale, I think it's had its run.

As soon as I saw the thread title, I thought of the War at Home. I would throw in Dancing with the Stars and American Idol to the list. I really wish we could put those to rest.

Definitely agree with this one. I was starting to feel like I was the only one. A lot of people really seem to like it.

How about The Simpsons? Too late for it to exit gracefully, but...can't it just exit? There are still some laughs, but it has surely been milked dry for storylines...

How about all game shows that are shown in primetime.

Also most "comedies" shown on CBS

Actually most comedies period, they all suck for the most part.

UFC on television, Fox News Channel, and a few shows should be canceled because once you start watching an episode you can't turn away. See: TLC

All news shows ... they never show anything but re-runs. Sure, the names and faces might change, but really, does anything new really ever happen? Besides, most news is depressing.

Those 'comedies' on CBS really get me as well ... Yes, Dear and The War At Home stick out for me. God, I hate 'Yes, Dear', and my wife likes it ...

Well, I'm assuming it is ... it's on in our house from time to time and I don't know it well enough to know if they are new or not ... according to wiki, thankfully, they are no longer producing new episodes. Wee!

Deal or No Deal is the worst game show ever. Family Guy should have never been brought back, espescially since American Dad is very similar. But Canadian Idol is the worst show on TV, the singers are terrible, and don't even compare to the American Idol finalists.

According to Jim or whatever that piece of crap comedy is with Belushi on it.

Also that crap comedy with Chuck Sheen.

Agreed...she is quite cute...however, how dumb is it to have a show where the mom has a prominent rack, said rack is mentioned in the first 5 minutes of the first episode, but the daughter is built nothing like mom?
