Television Shows That Stay Around Way Too Long

On the subject of Walking Dead, I gave up on this when I realised that almost all of the zombies should have rotted away to dust long long ago. In fact, when you think about it, by the time Rick woke up from his coma the majority of them should have started to decompose, especially in that Georgian heat...

They are asking a lot of my wilful suspense of disbelief to accept that a corpse can just get up and walk, but this is just too much. Yes a sf/f story will ask me to accept something that’s impossible but don’t then go and break your own laws of fantasy science

At a certain point all the zombies are going to be rendered non functional by decomposition.
 
The Office: an American Workplace should've quit once Steve Carrell left.

I also think that Star Trek: TNG was a season too long.

Always a bad thing when cast members leave an ensemble comedy, it's rarely the same. See also, That 70s Show after Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher left.
 
The U.S. adaptation of The Office is unique in that, I beieve, it is better than the original. Don't get me wrong, the original is a masterpiece; but it is such tough going. The American remake is so much easier to watch, which is what you want from a sitcom: it shouldn't be an ordeal like Ricky Gervais' version is.

Did it stay a series too long? Maybe, but there were things I liked about that last series, like the arrival of the next generation...

Crowning moment: Toby's return. "No! Dear God no!" Hilarious .

Have we mentioned Big Bang Theory? If we have then it needs to be repeated. Enough already.

I watched a few episodes of this show over the years . Never cared for it at all.
 
The introduction of Amy Fowler was the Jump The Shark moment.


For your information, there was an episode of Happy Days where a dude literally jumped over a shark. And it was the best episode ever!

Another great show that went too long. Though I did think seasons 5-6 had their moments, it was never really the same after they booted Dan Harmon at the end of season 3.
 
Series 5 episode Asscrack Bandit has to be in the top 5 episodes for the entire series. So funny! I really hope they make the movie.

ER was great show but stayed around way to long.
 
So what is the secret of the Soap Opera? I mean, those shows go on for years.
