we've seen what you missed....but what DONT you miss?

there have been many....many short lived shows. Some of them are really good and get cancelled before their time (firefly, Millenium, etc.) but most are dreck that makes you feel a little dumber after each minute of every episode.

My top shows i DONT miss:

Space: Above and Beyond (it sucked, get over it!)
That 80s show
Wonderfalls
Greg the Bunny
ROAR
VIP
The Ben Stiller Show
The Magic Hour
Paula Poundstone Show


just to name a couple.

What shows are you glad to see bite the dust? Any show from any decade is revelant here.....you can also list shows you want to end but for some reason just wont....

add the lone gunmen to that list as well.....

I look forward to the day Big Brother goes off the air.

I have a horrible memory and cant remember the names of the crappy shows I hated (even though I still watched them when I was bored).


Lone Gunmen definitely sucked and so did That 80's show.

OH yeah VIP was an attrocity.

I never heard of most of those shows though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I never saw the thread about shows I miss though.

I would have added Amazing Stories to it.

most if not all reality television needs to go off the air. its all useless dreck.

the movies were great too.

You know, I can't complain much about bad TV shows. I simply don't watch them.

I complain about them when they cancel good shows early and replace them with utter pieces of shite......

OH yeah VIP was an attrocity.


Was that the one with Pamela Anderson?

Powerpuff Girls
Dexter's Laboratory
Cow & Chicken
I would say Ed, Edd, & Eddy, but they keep fucking airing it.
Basically, any of the shows on or stemming from CN's old Cartoon, cartoon Fridays.
Except Billy & Mandy
Friends
Seinfeld
the Man Show post-Jimmy and Adam


I'll think of more later.

Pretty much every 80's American sitcom that had a 'cute' kid(s) in it.
Full House springs to mind

Major Dad.

The "shows on and stemming from Cartoon, cartoon Fridays" encompasses Johnny Bravo. Every damn thing they aired was shit.

all these shows are good what the hell is wrong with you!

Oh and I vote star trek

I didn't like Friends. I didn't. All I heard about, especially after 9/11 was, "OMG Friends is tteh roxorz! OMGWTFBBQ we don't wanaa watch any more reality shows, so we all hafta watch Friends!!!!!11111oneoneeleventyone" I didn't watch the show. It was sickening to hear about how the actors were paid $132 million between them for a season of Friends, when a season of Survivor, one of my favorite shows (which happened to air opposite Friends, so the ratings war awas always Friends vs. Survivor, and it seemed like freinds-watchers, especially the ones who used to watch Survivor, looked down on those of us who still watched Survivor) costs about $10 million and change to make, PLUS it makes for way better discussion. Debates of "Should Ross marry Rachel?" get old a lot more quickly than "Would Tom from Palau be able to hang with Terry from Exile Island?"

I am a recovered reality TV basher. When Survivor debuted, I wouldn't watch it on principle, but when the second season premiered after the Super Bowl, I gave it a shot. I don't miss an episode now. Thursday nights in the spring and fall are a ritual to me, and Big Brother's a poor substitute (it's all right, but it's like eating steak for most of the year and then having to subsist on ground beef for a while.) Hell, I've even written a fanfiction of Survivor...it took many hours to write, but I (almost) did it.

That said, the point is this - get off my screen, Friends, and take Joey with you.

its impossible to miss it. its all over NS.

Although Friends is not exactly what I consider good televion, it is MUCH, MUCH, BETTER than Survivor. At least Friends admitted to having a script, while Survivor said "reality"

needless, completely idiotic pranks gone wrong...

the big mystery to me is why people think david schwimmer is funny

needless, completely idiotic pranks gone wrong...

which will make AFV go on forever.

and ill watch it as long as anyone but bob saget hosts it. i did enjoy it when daisy fuentes was hosting it :D

- "Touched by an Angel" made me want to vomit.
- "Murder She Wrote" put me to sleep... (how many people could possibly DIE in one little town?!).
- "Nash Bridges" was just sad.

I actually liked Nash Bridges...

Each and every soap opera that has been cancelled has been a gift to humanity.

lansbury should have been banned from going anywhere ever. it seems wherever she goes, a husband kills his wife.

except dark shadows of course....

My top shows i DONT miss:

Space: Above and Beyond (it sucked, get over it!)
Wonderfalls

SpaceAB was pretty good, actually. And Wonderfalls was fuckin' funny...

I don't miss Firefly. And I don't miss Charmed. Or Angel (Buffy was an awesome show, though, and if anyone disagrees, I'll stab them in the neck.)

Shows that I want to end: ALL SOAP OPERAS! ALL REALITY TV! 80-90% OF CN'S CURRENT PROGRAMMING!!!!!

I thought Space: AB was just disappointing and cliche sci fi show.

charmed is a POS

and buffy sucks! *puts neck guard on and runs* :D

My problem with the film was that it didn't have Willow in it. I could care less about SMG (despite her awesome initials), but Willow was awesome.

yeah. Paul Reubens made that movie though.

If Seventh Heavan ever dies, I won't miss it.

that show is still on the air?!?!?!?!?

The idea that Survivor is scripted, usually linked to the idea that it's rigged, is insane. Aside from the fact that it's unethical and the FCC wouldn't stand for it, out of 182 people ever to play the game, only a grand total of TWO have made any insinuation that something wasn't on the up-and-up. Both were from the first season. One was a bitter, sore loser who thoguht she could explot a pattern in the show; the other was facing jail time and pulled out all the stops to avoid going. Neither is credible.

Aside from that, if the show were scripted, wouldn't the script-writers have written a better Thailand season? That season was dreadful.

I dunno. It's supposed to have been cancelled several times, but it keeps coming back. It's the show that won't die!

its like herpes.....

it hurts me to miss any star trek series. South park would also be essential viewing.

i definitely dont miss hamtaro...what a waste of time that was.

Yeah, they might still be on in Europe, but who cares about Europe? You guys arel ike 3 Stargate seasons behind.

True, but they are ahead of the US in Doctor Who episodes...

Well if it was created in Britain I wonder why..
It's like saying "Anime? Pssh, already been done in Japan."
No shit, sherlock.

TNN tried to bring back Ren & Stimpy, I didn't hear much after the pilot attempt though.

Buffy
Charmed
7 days
... my husband liked them :rolleyes: apparently he owns half the TV

I hated when Dawson's Creek was on, for my own personal reasons (btw I never even watched one episode of it)

My mom used to be obessed with Judging Amy, which wasn't bad to watch, but I dreaded her phone calls during every commercial break
"did you see that?"
"what did that mean?"
"what do you think will happen?"


right now, my husband is driving me crazy with all new craptastic shows......

Numbers
NCIS
Crossing Jordan
and that one about like the FBI and it's got that guy that used to be in Dharma and Greg in it...what's that one?

oh, and I hated Dharma and Greg too........ yeah.

99% of reality TV (100% if you don't count funny video shows), 100% of soaps, 100% of sitcoms, and most regular TV dramas fall into the "please, let it die" mold.

My top shows i DONT miss:

Space: Above and Beyond (it sucked, get over it!)
That 80s show
Wonderfalls
Greg the Bunny
ROAR
VIP
The Ben Stiller Show
The Magic Hour

Have not seen any of the above, so I couldn't miss them in any event. Luckily for me, I haven't seen enough from that medium to form anything remotely like an attachment to any particular program.

I don't miss commercials. Does that validate this admittedly non-commital contribution to the thread?

Shows I don't miss:
7th Heavan
Charmed
Johnny Bravo
Dexter's lab
Actually, pretty much any CN network show that isn't on Adult Swim
WitchHunter Robin, while we're at it.

Show I do miss:
Dilbert. Now that was a good comics to TV show.

Greg the bunny is a waste of time. Did not make me laugh even once.
Waste of a Netflix order.

sorry ruffy......

True, but they are ahead of the US in Doctor Who episodes...

I have yet to see a single episode of the new Doctor Who (no cable :( )
is it as good as the original?

Well if it was created in Britain I wonder why..

ren and stimpy is on one of the weird direct tv/ digi cable nick channels. i found it on late at night once. dont remember which one....

VH1 also had them goin for a while late at night....
