What TV show do you think should be canceled.
I think "King of Queens" has run it's course. This last season was pretty stale.

11. It was on for a short time at the end of
last season. I didn't see it, but somehow Greg lost his job and they had to move next door into the house Jimmy and Christine bought.

19. I agree with the exception of "30 Days".
If you have not seen it, it is really good. FX on Wednesday nights.

3. The Simpsons
There wasn't a single "laugh-out-loud" moment last season. I love the show, but 16 years later, it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

21. I've had similar feelings about the Simpsons as well but
Everytime I'm ready to give up on the show, they suddenly produce a really good episode and I keep watching

But I agree -the episodes that were shown in my country tonight weren't particularly good

24. Regardless
The Simpsons at their worst are better than most shows at their best.

And I wonder how many shows would still be doing as well as they are after 16 years...

4. Fear Factor
It should really be called "gross-out factor"

I never watch it, but I sometimes glimpse it while flipping.

It's always about eating something gross.

What the hell is wrong with people?

28. When are they going to cut to the chase
and just show people eating various forms of excrement for money?
You know they are headed this way.

25. Nope Johnny Knoxville started making movies
And Bam Margera started his own show (Viva Le Bam) where he goes around doing Jackass-lite type stuff...like swimming with small toothless sharks naked ...."oooo how edgy!"

8. It would be easier to list the ones that should not be cancelled.
Most commercial TV is crap.

10. As much as I love it..."Will and Grace"
I do love it. But...I see this show and it seems like a "special guest star" every other week. That tells me that the show is growing stale...that they need a Matt Damon or a Kevin Bacon every so often to jazz things up.

It's time to say goodbye to "Will and Grace", IMO

16. All of the 100+ shows
That have playing poker as its central subject matter. It started off as one, then two then three then 100. It's completely out of hand. That shit and the West Wing re-runs (a show I do not like) have taken over Bravo.

29. And it's shit poker too
Guys, if I'm gonna play poker, I want five cards of my own. Not this commie "share three cards, get two of your own" shit they play these days. Fuck hold-em.

23. Hannity & Colmes
The original Crossfire on CNN (when it was a news network) was a great show, and the format had great potential. FAUX and Hannity have stolen & destroyed the format by Sean's insane rants, Colmes' inability to get a single word in edgewise, and the blatant attempts to shout down any "liberal" guests (which are damn few anyway, as the "Democratic" side is more often than not represented by a DLC shill.

If FAUX wanted to give the appearance of actual "fair and balanced" they would fire Colmes and put in a Democratic representative who would stand up to Hannity and help a Democratic guest make a decent argument.

How does "Hannity & Clark" sound? ;)
