Spinoff Topic: Shows where it should have been a crime because they went on too long

We did shows that were cancelled too soon. What about show that wore out their welcome?
I was never able to go past season 8 of The Office. I think I could have watched 15 seasons of that show if Michael had stayed, but it just wasn't the same for me.
Westworld. I'm in the minority in actually liking seasons 2-4. Season two had a few of episodes of the best TV ever and the acting and visuals were incredible throughout. But knowing that the story won't be completed, it would have been best to leave it as a one season mini-series.
Give me just 5 seasons of Game of Thrones, maybe six and end with around Battle of the Bastards. Even without a complete ending, it would have went down as a pretty consensus top 3 show of all time. Instead we get a trash ending where the final season is more famous for a Starbucks cup and Daenery's "find of forgetting about the iron fleet" than the actual story. *Although I will defend The Battle of Winterfell. That was a great episode.
What ya got?

Scrubs original ending was perfect. No need to put out that garbage last season that was half final season half spin off.

Obvious answer is Happy Days since it literally sparked a saying for something that goes on for too long.

That 70s show
Posted on 1/26/24 at 10:14 am to iwyLSUiwy
Two and a Half Men: the show was never great, but it was completely dead after Charlie Sheen left.
That 70’s Show was dead after Eric left for Africa, but it had really gone noticeably downhill starting with the season before. They should have ended the show with Eric and Donna getting married rather than him running away and Donna going blonde.
Suits. This show started off so good and just got gradually worse over time. By the point where Mike’s in prison, the show is almost a parody of itself, and not in a good way.
Scrubs went one season too long.
I love Community, but Seasons 4, and to a lesser extent 6, are trash. Season 5 was solid, though. Maybe they just shouldn’t have done the Yahoo season.
The OC got real dumb after season 1. They burned through so many great storylines that could have easily been full season arcs in the modern day. This show died when Marissa did, though. The last season is just not good, and the show was already a shell of itself before that.
Heroes only has one good season.
East Bound & Down went on way too long.

+1 for The Simpsons. I love the show but some of the voice actors, especially Julie Kavner, sound physically exhausted nowadays. The quality isn’t there anymore; it’s barely a shadow of what it used to be, and now the characters can’t even hide the fact that they just want it to end.

Happy Days when Fonzie jumped the shark

Happy Days, Two 1/2 Men, and I might get blasted for this one: MASH. After Henry Blake died the series could have ended and we would have been better off.

yellowstone should have ended after season 3
everything after that just ruined the show forever

The Witcher, since they decided to ignore 6 books and 15 short stories of lore, and an actor in Henry Cavill who was all in on being Geralt.

I think the X Files probably overstayed its cultural welcome by some years. It did have decent episodes lightly sprinkled in the last few seasons, but it could have done without them and ended around season 7ish.
