Shows that went on a little too long


What shows were stretched a bit too thin? I'm thinking one season less and they would have been better for it. My picks are Mad Men and Lost.

Dexter

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned The Simpsons yet. That show should have stopped after season eight.

That's more than "a little" too long!

That's what she said!

Law & Order: SVU and Supernatural. And I'm a fan of both, but still.

SVU has certainly been stretched too thin, but I can't stop watching it either.

Lol same.

Well currently, Criminal Minds is a few seasons past its prime. Supernatural could probably have been ended by now The walking Dead. I am trying to think of a show that IS gone that probably could have ended sooner, usually people remember the shows that ended to soon. CSI comes to mind, though I didn't watch that one much from people I knew felt it should have ended when Petersen left.

Its hard because most stuff I watched on TV actually was cut off too soon.

Criminal Minds is definitely part its prime. I still watch it occasionally but It's boarding on so-bad-it's-good territory.

Law and Order SVU, got sick of rapes, especially of children, it's in it's 19th season, it should have ended when Malone left.

I am still digging Orange Is...but I totally agree on Modern Family. It was great early on but it got very tired.

I can name a few that probably should have gone 10 to 20 years less:

Saturday Night Live
The Simpsons
The Law and Order shows

I think MASH went on a little too long. Cheers probably went on a little too long as well.
