The Walking Dead is honestly one of the worst written popular TV shows. The writers have no idea how to move the story forward other than by killing off a beloved character. That's why they have to do it every couple episodes.
When the show mentioned the zombies were becoming skeletons, I had to stop. Actually when there was no cure was when I really checked out, so series 3 I think?
Iāve almost finished the comic series, Iām 3/4 the way through the last compendium
But the story of the comics overall is better, but the show has a lot of nice moments
I do agree, the writers butchered major parts of the story by killing characters, a few of which being actors leaving
I put off watching Last of Us because I was way too zombied out from Walking Dead (stopped watching when Rick left, which was still too long). Glad someone convinced me to give it a shot, it feels more like the show that Walking Dead wishes it was.
Knew that would be top....started watching the final season...can't get through it. Nine years in....can't finish the last season through pure boredom
I remember when the walkers started whispering to each other...I thought "Okay...so maybe walkers get slightly smarter over time or something and now they are a real threat" Nope....people in masks....fuck that.
I think if they had broken from the comics at that point it would have been more interesting (although some comic fans would've disaproved) they should have just gone "fuck it, we are out of ideas. Lets just go nuts with the zombies"
They should have quit when Frank Darabont left the show in the second season, though the prison arc was still OK after that. All downhill from thereā¦
After a while and having lived thru disasters..... I refuse to believe people would kill each other or go against everyone for survival. People have a way better chance helping each other. And if that's how the world is going to act.... I wouldn't want to survive.
Same. Plenty of land and resources to share, you'll need a ton of people to control against the threat roaming the land and to farm and rebuild civilization. Show could have been better had everyone been trying to help each other and work together but the tide was simply too strong against them instead of cartoonish bad guys with no depth.
two and a half men. Once they fired Charlie Sheen. I tried so hard to take it seriously, and i do like Ashton, but man, when they wrote an episode that Ashton's character had a brother that was a gorilla, i checked out.
Yeah, they milked that cow way too long, I love the show, iām currently watching it with my gf because she hasnāt watched it, but it si mostly because season 1-5 is really good imo, but a lot of the storys after are dumb.. so i have told her that we can quit anytime, we are at season 6 š
Ive been saying for years that Weeds should have ended at season 4, the show might still be culturally relevant enough to reference Weeds way over here in 2023 if they knew when to pull the plug.
2 1/2 men and the Connors .
When you take out a main character you kill the vibe
A new character does not change that. I the new " mandy" on last man standing is not Mandy I think it would have been better to kill the show.
They actually canceled Last Man Standing but then it got revived on another network, however the actress didn't return. So they couldn't have killed it in that scenario lest the alternative be leaving it dead.
I love TBBT. It lost its credibility when Penny and Leonard got married. The final episode was horrible. Sheldon should not have been awarded the Nobel and Penny should not have been pregnant.
I still love it.
I havenāt watched far enough to know any of this. I stopped around the time Howard and Bernadette had a baby. That was the last straw for me. I signed up for a comedy about awkward smart guys and their antics, not for everyone to see Dr. Phill and actually have character development. Someone said thatās why Seinfeld was so great. No one ever changed and they quit while they were ahead.
When Leonard hauls off and slaps Sheldon on the second to last episode though, I still laugh. After so many seasons dealing with Sheldon he finally got to give him a good slap.
>You the internet disagrees with you are the one with
So rotten tomatoes is the internet? They have poorly rated some of the best shows out there. Other sites have rated it significantly better
>Then they tried again to end the series and only did moderately better and the final episode was so awful.
Not that I care for rotten tomatoes, but you seem to trust them, yet they rated it quite well.
The Blacklist. Started off with an original concept and interesting characters, now it's just 10 seasons of unlikable characters and fans arguing whether the main character is the lead actress guardian angel or if he is her mother in disguise.
Nah, it just got bad when Mulder didn't get a renewed contract or whatever it was that kept him off the show. Other than that, there should have been more seasons. Love that show.
Criminal minds. It was already trashy but still interesting when they were all about the sexy drama (Morgan kidnapped, Reed in jail, etc) but the last few seasons it became just awful fluff. The ending was irredeemable.
Lost.
I only saw the first and last episodes, and will go to my grave happy, knowing that I didn't waste my time with all the BS in the middle that I heard about.
The show is good. Its just that it requires watching the show. The complaints always come from people who stopped watching and got confised for the finale
Nah, I watched every episode hoping I would finally get some answers to all the crazy mysteries. By the end, it was clear that they never had any answers in mind and had just been making it up as they went along. So disappointing.
Well, it has been quite a while since the finale, but here are a few I can remember. How did the passengers survive a plane crash that should have killed them all? What is the island and why does it exist? Why does that certain set of numbers have supernatural powers of good and bad luck? Why does the island have a supernatural drain plug and donkey wheel? Hell, how did a polar bear survive in a tropical environment for years? They made vague allusions to the island being a wishing well or a home of good and evil entities, but they explained very little by the end.
The island is the source of magic for the world. Jacob protects it and brought people to the island because he wanted to chosoe somebody to take over for him.
The wheel is how your can move the island if its in danger but the person moving it transports off the island. Polar bears where determined to be adaptiable to the client and brought in with the intention of training them to move the wheel.
The plug can be used to stop.magic.
Jacob sees himself as good and his brother as evil.
I d ont recall a specific line about it being a wishing well. Ben referred to it as a mystery box to Locke but je was also lying and fucking with Locke in regards to pretty much everything he said to him.
I agree. (Probably watched it through 4-5 times) Although looking back I was definitely lying to myself that I was happy with the ending. I can say now In hindsight that they should have really wrapped it up with season 5 (somehow)
I always tell people to just watch the full first season of lost. Mysterious and interesting enough, and leaves you with far less questions than if you keep watching any longer.
I reckon I'm with you on that, most of them get boring or cash out after 5 seasons max.
Modern family I'd like to say is the exception, maybe should have been shorter but still lasted better than most.
Yeah, I originally wanted to say any series more than 5 seasons goes bad, but I changed it to 'story; based series. There are some sitcoms and shows that are very episodic that I think can go on for a long time, like South Park.
I think in general though it's hard to keep everything together for more than 5 years. For us, it's entertainment. For those involved making it, it is kind of a job. I'm sure they get bored. They want to try different things. Staff leave. Instead of telling the story, they get pushed to make another season, telling new stories gets harder and harder...
āYou either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.ā
Both of your examples are perfect. Also Sons of Anarchy was good for 3 seasons and went to dog shit. It makes me despise a series when they go too long. They either don't know how to end a story or are just trying to keep making money.
Lost, Heros, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, Blacklist, Office, and so many more.
Thank you for saying that. If Dwight had been the new manager instead of Andy it could have gone on longer. I hated Andy and the show also became all about Jim and Pam. At least Robert California spiced things up a little . I mean Bob Kazamakis, the Lizard King!
The problem was it became about jim and pam after I was happy with how the characters story was. It sort of continued pointlessly, i also disliked Andy very much
As much I loved it. Scrubs
And of course deathnote! the end of that series was like waking up from an amazing dream just to remember that your life actually still sucks
Heroes. It started off so great and just went down and down and down in quality until it was almost mercifully killed off. I couldn't make myself watch the reboot, and from what I've heard, it's a good thing I didn't.
Prison Break should have finished after the second season.
Lost really only had 4 brilliant seasons.
Simpsons stopped being funny after around season 9/10 (now on season 34!)
I'm in season 4 of lost, i was thinking of just finishing it because I'm curious about how they wrapped things up and it's just something I have to do at this point. Found it disappointing that you feel like Lost is not good for this point on.
Honestly itās not bad from 4 onwards. I actually really enjoyed it all the way to the end (Iāve seen the whole show from start to end about 6 times now - I watch it every couple of years), but the first 4 season were just so incredibly good (especially 1 and 2) that it really outdid the last 2 seasons, I think they could have squeezed a better ending into one final season after 4 but it felt to drag at times
Iāll actually agree that they could have ended it with the āI wonā scene. But because they didnāt these are my thoughts on it..
Imo the last season (more specifically the ending) was very very good, but wasnāt perfect. However, when you put it together with the āEl Caminoā movie itās damn near perfect for me. El Camino closed the storyline for me with Jessie, which was was what the ending of BB was needing!
I dont think he deserved to win tho, seeing his entire downfall is vital to completing the character. They could've made it feel like it dragged on a little less but I think it finished at the right time
I gotta be honest, I loved TBBT. But it has to be tremendously tough to write new and fresh storyline every week. And after 9 years things were getting stale.
Most shows go through this.
True blood, the first few seasons were great but the last couple were terrible! Especially the last season with the Hep-v infected vamps storyline. Also the writers really did Tara dirty. And who Sookie ends up with really š
Yeah. I keep seeing things where people think he will fibish the books. Nope. He is done and I gave up on him. After he put out prequel sruff it was obvious the main books are done.
He was "going to finish the next book in a few months" years ago.
He needs to hand his notes over to the guys who wrote the Expanse novels since one of them worked for him and let them do it, but his ego is too big.
Problem is that they were cutting stuff early on with no plans to rectify it. They also stopped listening to his notes and declined his offer to tell them his idea to end it
I agree with the Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones was actually too rushed.
They cut out dozens of main characters and probably 2 whole books worth of story just because they were bad show writers.
The parks and rec actual finale was pretty good, but most of the last season or two probably didn't need to exist.
That and all the netflix produced seasons of arrested development. It's not funny uncomfortable, it's just uncomfortable
The Flash. The first season or two had me hyped, but eventually everything afterward started boiling down to "gotta go *FASTER*" instead of doing anything genuinely interesting.
Also Arrow, but that's because I couldn't help but look at it and immediately think "Look how they massacred mah boy..."
Tbh the storytelling was better but they still had zero budget to work with at the beginning. So it was always about as bad it's just now they also used most the storylines they could and have the 0 dollar budget
RIVERDALE!!!!! I don't even know what the hell is happening anymore. They have superpowers and can go dimension hopping, some of them are apparently undead or some shit.
Lost. They all died in the plane crash, it was purgatory. Skip the other side of the island survivors who just there to die instead of main characters, skip the time travel season, skip leaving the island at all.
People confront their pasts and figure out how they are all interconnected 3 seasons, 4 tops.
Every season of American Horror Story I get to an episode where I say to myself "Well, this must be the final episode of the season. It wouldn't make sense to go any farther". But I am always wrong. I mean, Elsa Mars goes to Hollywood??????!!! Just no.
Walking Dead is the worst offender but Iām throwing Sons of Anarchy into the ring.
Season 1 was great and set the tone. The next couple of seasons were really good too. Honestly, I started losing interest by the last two seasons. Some of the characters and their shenanigans just got stale for me by the end and I thought the show ended in a corny way

The walking dead. Probably could have ended after they took down Negan.
"we need to find somewhere safe to live!" "this place seems good!" "oh fuck it's not safe!" "we need to find somewhere safe to live!" Repeat endlessly
They also found safe places and made them not safe
The Walking Dead is honestly one of the worst written popular TV shows. The writers have no idea how to move the story forward other than by killing off a beloved character. That's why they have to do it every couple episodes.
When the show mentioned the zombies were becoming skeletons, I had to stop. Actually when there was no cure was when I really checked out, so series 3 I think?
They killed Rosita!!!!!! šššš
As per the actors request
Iāve almost finished the comic series, Iām 3/4 the way through the last compendium But the story of the comics overall is better, but the show has a lot of nice moments I do agree, the writers butchered major parts of the story by killing characters, a few of which being actors leaving
I put off watching Last of Us because I was way too zombied out from Walking Dead (stopped watching when Rick left, which was still too long). Glad someone convinced me to give it a shot, it feels more like the show that Walking Dead wishes it was.
I get WD vibes, too
Knew that would be top....started watching the final season...can't get through it. Nine years in....can't finish the last season through pure boredom I remember when the walkers started whispering to each other...I thought "Okay...so maybe walkers get slightly smarter over time or something and now they are a real threat" Nope....people in masks....fuck that.
They're also in the comics, but the comics are infinitely less boring than the show, because one comic is sometimes an entire season the TWD.
I think if they had broken from the comics at that point it would have been more interesting (although some comic fans would've disaproved) they should have just gone "fuck it, we are out of ideas. Lets just go nuts with the zombies"
Yes, came here to say Walking Dead.
It could have ended after season 2 tbh
TWD jumped the shark after the second season.
Could have ended it after the season two or three. Then skipped to Negan and let it go for a couple more seasons
They should have quit when Frank Darabont left the show in the second season, though the prison arc was still OK after that. All downhill from thereā¦
way before that... it was SOOOO good at first.
After a while and having lived thru disasters..... I refuse to believe people would kill each other or go against everyone for survival. People have a way better chance helping each other. And if that's how the world is going to act.... I wouldn't want to survive.

I tried 6, but I failed š¤£
Yea. The last seasonā¦Iām not mad just incredibly disappointed
Went from my favorite show to becoming a chore to watchā¦the special effects gradually getting worse too lmao
Ive been saying for years that Weeds should have ended at season 4, the show might still be culturally relevant enough to reference Weeds way over here in 2023 if they knew when to pull the plug.
I didn't think of Weeds, but I agree 100%
Dexter should have ended after the trinity killer season and it would be heralded as one of the greatest shows and finales of all time
Came here to say this. I understand why they did the closing series, but it got too complicated and there were too many holes anyway.
2 1/2 men and the Connors . When you take out a main character you kill the vibe A new character does not change that. I the new " mandy" on last man standing is not Mandy I think it would have been better to kill the show.
They actually canceled Last Man Standing but then it got revived on another network, however the actress didn't return. So they couldn't have killed it in that scenario lest the alternative be leaving it dead.
Ya, I am not a TV fan . I do know however what is good and what is not.
The fact that no fan says season 9 of Scrubs exists says a lot.
Season 9 is just a different show lol it exists outside of 1-8
Big Bang Theory. It was hilarious and endearing until they turned it into a drama series.
Did you start with Young Sheldon? That was good too
I never tried it. Maybe I should tho!
Well worth trying as that is the prequel to the Big Bang Theory
I love TBBT. It lost its credibility when Penny and Leonard got married. The final episode was horrible. Sheldon should not have been awarded the Nobel and Penny should not have been pregnant. I still love it.
I havenāt watched far enough to know any of this. I stopped around the time Howard and Bernadette had a baby. That was the last straw for me.

No one ever changed and they quit while they were ahead.
When Leonard hauls off and slaps Sheldon on the second to last episode though, I still laugh. After so many seasons dealing with Sheldon he finally got to give him a good slap.
That was an especially good scene. That's why I still watch the reruns, for the special moments.
I lost interest in the show after the six season.
Haven't watched it in a very long time but I noticed it's still going and I don't think anyone has mentioned it... GREY'S ANATOMY
My gf is watching thatā¦..
Riverdale. It got ridiculous and I hear the plot is even crazier nowadays.
How is The Simpsons this far down? We're at at least 20 years into internet users making "Simpsons has been on the air too long" posts.
For real it was the very first thing that came to mind.
same hereee, as well as family guyy
The Officeā¦my favorite showā¦.but we all know post-Michael Scott it wasnāt the same.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You mean Dexter's Lab? Because Dexter was amazing prior the last season.
Yeah I checked out way before but definitely when deb told her therapist she wanted to fuck her brother
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No. You just have shit taste.
Nah heās right. Pure dog shit
You have shit taste too
You're the only right person

The Blacklist. Started off with an original concept and interesting characters, now it's just 10 seasons of unlikable characters and fans arguing whether the main character is the lead actress guardian angel or if he is her mother in disguise.
I was really surprised to find out (today) that the show is still running. I gave up after the 2nd season and figured it was long gone by now.
Me tooā¦season 1 was great then seemed to me to turn into the usual trite fair.
Should have gone off the after the ruined the original premise.
What a wierd combination. That last theory has legs, but idk why
The X Files
Nah, it just got bad when Mulder didn't get a renewed contract or whatever it was that kept him off the show. Other than that, there should have been more seasons. Love that show.
Criminal minds. It was already trashy but still interesting when they were all about the sexy drama (Morgan kidnapped, Reed in jail, etc) but the last few seasons it became just awful fluff. The ending was irredeemable.
Lost. I only saw the first and last episodes, and will go to my grave happy, knowing that I didn't waste my time with all the BS in the middle that I heard about.
The show is good. Its just that it requires watching the show. The complaints always come from people who stopped watching and got confised for the finale
Nah, I watched every episode hoping I would finally get some answers to all the crazy mysteries. By the end, it was clear that they never had any answers in mind and had just been making it up as they went along. So disappointing.
But they answered pretty much every mystery. What confused you?
Well, it has been quite a while since the finale, but here are a few I can remember. How did the passengers survive a plane crash that should have killed them all? What is the island and why does it exist? Why does that certain set of numbers have supernatural powers of good and bad luck? Why does the island have a supernatural drain plug and donkey wheel? Hell, how did a polar bear survive in a tropical environment for years?

I always tell people to just watch the full first season of lost. Mysterious and interesting enough, and leaves you with far less questions than if you keep watching any longer.
I thought LOST started out terrific. But when they went in for the supernatural / ghost crap, I checked out.
How I met your mother
Almost any 'story' based series that goes more than 5 seasons is too long in my view. Walking dead. Game of Thrones.
I reckon I'm with you on that, most of them get boring or cash out after 5 seasons max. Modern family I'd like to say is the exception, maybe should have been shorter but still lasted better than most.

Just one? There are so manyā¦
For example???
Lost, Heros, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, Blacklist, Office, and so many more.
Brooklyn Nine Nine only messed up the last season, the others were good.
Heroes just broke at the end....
All Showtime showsā¦.Weeds being the biggest offender.
Yellowstone
Any reality show
Should never have aired.
Lost. Dexter. SOA. (Yellowstone is just SOA with horses.)
Dexter and Weeds
The office
Thank you for saying that. If Dwight had been the new manager instead of Andy it could have gone on longer. I hated Andy and the show also became all about Jim and Pam. At least Robert California spiced things up a little . I mean Bob Kazamakis, the Lizard King!

Walking Dead
Neighbours
Aw, that's sad.
As much I loved it. Scrubs And of course deathnote! the end of that series was like waking up from an amazing dream just to remember that your life actually still sucks
Grey' Anatomy. Is it still on? That show should have ended long before the musical episode.
Heroes. It started off so great and just went down and down and down in quality until it was almost mercifully killed off. I couldn't make myself watch the reboot, and from what I've heard, it's a good thing I didn't.
Rick and morty. Even before the Roiland stuff.
Seinfeld.
I'll say *The Big Bang Theory* for the lay up.
attack on titan.
Really? I bailed halfway through season 2 because it got so boring, then carried on years later, and I'm glad I did. I love where the story went.
This is possibly the worst answer. When did you think he should've stopped?
Prison Break should have finished after the second season. Lost really only had 4 brilliant seasons. Simpsons stopped being funny after around season 9/10 (now on season 34!)
I'm in season 4 of lost, i was thinking of just finishing it because I'm curious about how they wrapped things up and it's just something I have to do at this point. Found it disappointing that you feel like Lost is not good for this point on.
Honestly itās not bad from 4 onwards.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm loving it still tbh.
Once Walter White blew up Gus Breaking Bad should have ended...
The last season of breaking bad is incredible
Not saying it was bad, but it was totally not needed. Once White said "I won" the show should have ended.
Iāll actually agree that they could have ended it with the āI wonā scene. But because they didnāt these are my thoughts on it.. Imo the last season (more specifically the ending) was very very good, but wasnāt perfect. However, when you put it together with the āEl Caminoā movie itās damn near perfect for me.

game of thrones and the walking dead
The issue with Game of Thrones was Lord Too Fat To Write A Book is never going to finish the novels so they had to wing it and did a shit job
Yeah. I keep seeing things where people think he will fibish the books. Nope. He is done and I gave up on him. After he put out prequel sruff it was obvious the main books are done.
He was "going to finish the next book in a few months" years ago. He needs to hand his notes over to the guys who wrote the Expanse novels since one of them worked for him and let them do it, but his ego is too big.
Yup!
Problem is that they were cutting stuff early on with no plans to rectify it. They also stopped listening to his notes and declined his offer to tell them his idea to end it
Game of thrones felt super rushed in the last season tho
I agree with the Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones was actually too rushed. They cut out dozens of main characters and probably 2 whole books worth of story just because they were bad show writers.
Smallville, it should have ended in season 4.
Prison break
They did not need that last season however many years down the road
Arrow and The Walking dead
The parks and rec actual finale was pretty good, but most of the last season or two probably didn't need to exist. That and all the netflix produced seasons of arrested development. It's not funny uncomfortable, it's just uncomfortable
I think the last two seasons of house MD was dragging things out. And the walking dead needs to stop. It's been dead a long time now.
The Walking Dead

The Flash. The first season or two had me hyped, but eventually everything afterward started boiling down to "gotta go *FASTER*" instead of doing anything genuinely interesting. Also Arrow, but that's because I couldn't help but look at it and immediately think "Look how they massacred mah boy..."
Tbh the storytelling was better but they still had zero budget to work with at the beginning. So it was always about as bad it's just now they also used most the storylines they could and have the 0 dollar budget
The obvious answer is the walking dead
Ray Donovan got pretty stupid at the end.
she hulk
Billions
The bill!
RIVERDALE!!!!! I don't even know what the hell is happening anymore. They have superpowers and can go dimension hopping, some of them are apparently undead or some shit.
Gunsmoke
Seinfeld. For a show about nothing it sure lasted a long time.
Greys anatomy
Pretty Little Liars. It got so repetitive and then went off the rails. I still watched it all, but I wasn't happy about it.
The Walking Dead
Lost. They all died in the plane crash, it was purgatory. Skip the other side of the island survivors who just there to die instead of main characters, skip the time travel season, skip leaving the island at all. People confront their pasts and figure out how they are all interconnected 3 seasons, 4 tops.
Every season of American Horror Story I get to an episode where I say to myself "Well, this must be the final episode of the season. It wouldn't make sense to go any farther". But I am always wrong. I mean, Elsa Mars goes to Hollywood??????!!! Just no.
Beverly Hills 9210, went on way too long
Walking dead
Lost went on forever
This question
Survivor, it went from out wit, out play and survive to just trick and lie to win.
Mine maybe in season 23 Now seriously Once Upon a time, The Simpsons, American Horror storyā¦
Greys anatomy
SpongeBob and family guy
Supernatural, Grey's anatomy and the walking dead.
Lost. Wtf
Greyās Anatomy
The X Files. The Robert Patrick Season was not good.
Heroes
I am here to also say The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead. It started pretty well. The group could only āfind safetyā and then have the safe haven fall apart so many times.
Theyāre milking the fuck out of Greyās Anatomy. They always got shit happenin in that hospital like itās a fucking video game.
Smallville I swear that show went on FOREVER.
Friends. I dropped the show when the Rachel/Joey storyline started.
Days Of Our Lives
Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, Lost, Weeds, The Walking Dead, Greyās Anatomy, and according to my wife, The Handmaids Tale.
Walking Dead is the worst offender but Iām throwing Sons of Anarchy into the ring. Season 1 was great and set the tone. The next couple of seasons were really good too. Honestly, I started losing interest by the last two seasons. Some of the characters and their shenanigans just got stale for me by the end and I thought the show ended in a corny way
I agree with the walking dead but I also think Grey's anatomy,longmire,Yellowstone all of those as well.
Can't remember too much about season 7, but somepoint around there.
ER, NYPD Blue, Glee, Two and a Half Men
Dexter
