25 Objectively Good Shows That Outstayed Their Welcome
But even some stellar shows go on way too long, and end up alienating their biggest fans. We hit Reddit to round up the list of TV shows that should have ended before they got bad!
2.
That 70’s Show…so good until the last season when Foreman left the show. I wish they just cut it the season before.Still one of my favorite tv shows
3.
Once Upon a Time. The first season is magical. I've re-watched the first season several times with my wife. Everything after just starts sucking more and more.
4.
Heroes. Should have ended have after season 1. Or they should have taken a break during the writer’s strike. Heroes never recovered.
5.
Arrested Development. For me, the writing was so witty and hilarious in the early seasons, but after Netflix bought it, it just became slapstick and cheesy
7.
Pretty Little Liars. The show in general is bad but it kept getting progressively worse as the seasons went on. They literally forgot about having a plot
8.
Greys Anatomy. I had to stop watching it when Izzie had sex with Denny's ghost. I really liked it up until that whole plot.
12.
The Fairly Odd Parents. It was such a great show with so many good episodes till the point where it become another way of easy money for Nickelodeon to ruin it
14.
Designated Survivor had a really interesting premise, but that premise goes away after the first season, and then it's just a mish-mash of bad political drama crossed with the dumbest f*cking FBI agent ever.
15.
The 100. It should have ended when they left earth and started the voyage to a new planet. That would have been a perfect finale. Everything that followed was just unnecessary and dragged out.
18.
The Flash. Great couple of seasons, even with the wonky CGI. It just went downhill faster than the...well you know.
19.
Northern Exposure. The episode where Joel finds the mastodon/wooly mammoth and realizes he’s now a local is a decent ending compared to that final season.
21.
The Walking Dead. I used to love that show, but it started to get ridiculous. I bailed after the Terminus plotline ended -- I couldn't stand the flipflopping with Rick's character.Wondered if I was missing out, but then I saw a teaser of Daryl shooting somebody with what appeared to be some kind of shoulder-mounted RPG launcher, and I figured I'd made the right choice.
23.
Chuck. It was about a dude who ‘accidentally’ received a spy training hypnotism thing and had to become a spy (it makes no sense, so don’t worry if you can’t follow it).Anyway, it was going pretty ok. Eventually, he got with his love interest and the writers started panicking. They made the ending disappointing and sad because they wrote themselves out of anything better.
24.
Roseanne. The last couple of seasons were absolute trash with the lottery, Dan dying, and all that. Such garbage. Ruined a great show.
