TV Series You Dispise. You Cheered When It Was Yanked
 
Other than NT; TNM, has there ever been a series you despise so much, that once it's gone, you cheered!

It might even make you think of this song...



Mine's Malcolm In The Middle. I liked the show, but couldn't stand Jane Kaczmarek!!! I played that tune after the final episode.

There are two other shows that also deserve that honor, but won't go into that.


Raph's Girl 03-31-2011 09:56 PM

That would be 24. I never liked the show and I just can't stand Kiefer Sutherland.

Well, I'm rather glad that Supernanny will be discontinued after its current season is done. Nanny 911 however, still goes on with new seasons on CMT from what I understand.

Any reality show. ****ing hate 'em.

Slap-Happy 04-01-2011 01:45 AM

Easy. LOST.

BubblyShell22 04-01-2011 09:23 AM

LOST, 24, ER. Never got into them.

I didn't care for Pushing Daisies, but perhaps "despise" is too strong of a word. Couldn't get into "Weeds" or "Veronica Mars" either...

(Raph body slams me on the mat then pins me.)

RAPH: You gonna tell what they are or am I gonna hurt you some more?
ME: Uncle! UNCLE!!!

(Leo makes the 3 count, Mikey rings the fight bell & Raph wins the wrestling match!)

The two shows are both game shows; The New Treasure Hunt & Just Men! (Betty White's show). There are two common threads as well.

1). Both were for female contestants only!

2). If the grand prize (A CHECK FOR $25,000; TH or the Ford Mustang Convertible started; JM) was won, they would rub it in with balloon droppings (plus shrilled sirens & confetti for TH). TH had an episode where both ladies got the $25,000 check while JM had a 4 car winning streak (HAMBONE!!!, as ESPN's Rob Stone would say).

So every April Fool's Day, I would sing "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" in honor of JM's cancellation day (April Fool's Day, 1983).

They aren't off the air yet, but American Idol and Americas next top model. My wife makes me watch both of them with her. :trolleye::tgrumble:

Heroes
Took me until the beginning of Season 3 before I started getting into the show. But, after I actually watched that season, I had enough and wanted it dead.

MrPliggins 04-01-2011 01:59 PM

I have to agree with Heroes, starting with season 1's finale. Season 2 was cut short, but season 3 was all over the place. Season 4 got better, but I still had little interest in any of the characters.

Two and a Half Men

gobo 04-01-2011 07:26 PM

I'm beginning to feel this way about the current season of Fringe. :ohwell:

RAM BAM 04-01-2011 09:22 PM

I second the vote for Two and a half men.

Lost was not canceled. It ended. Died a natural death, so to speak.

Same with 24, if I'm not mistaken.

And Two and a Half Men is still on. Chances are, it WILL wither and die with Sheen gone, but for now, it still lives.

Don't networks themselves also use the term "canceled" even if a show "ends" like Lost, and wasn't just simply discontinued before it was time?

It might have died on it's own, but natural? No way, nothing natural with that beast:lol:

Ninja Turtles 25 Years 04-03-2011 12:49 AM

Blossum
Saved By The Bell
Full House

Far most of those evening ABC 7 and FOX Broadcast sitcoms.

Fear Factor - I don't mind the competition part, but the part with the bugs, worms, maggots, animal innards trying to get a key with your mouth-- gross! It was enough to make my stomach turn.

Guiness World Records Primetime and Ripley's Believe It Or Not - some of the records were quite interesting, but some were very sick. They aired it during dinner time when I'm trying to keep my food down.
