Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

    Seriously folks - there can be only one and done:

    HEROES

    Save the cheerleader, save the world and then please - go home. But nooooo…/

      Gonna disagree, we needed more Heroes, but from a writing team with a vision and purpose. Or at least one that understood the character driven nature of the first season was it’s selling point, not just the half baked superhero action. The '07 writers strike really screwed that show.

      It’s weird with Big Bang Theory, when it first started me and my friend circle loved it, thought it was brilliant but yes it did lose something after a few seasons.

      But online everyone just seemed to hate it - could it be because we’re British and it just landed better with us…?

        It was good the first few seasons, people shit on it because they shit on everything popular, but it WAS a good sitcom, it just never grew up.

        Also, I found the depiction of the Indian guy funny at first but it quickly got racist and never got better, they just kept piling on the racism

          Interesting. I didn’t like it for a very similar reason. Their depiction of nerds or geniuses or whatever you want to call them was pretty offensive. I could never get into it.

          Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying that I’m a genius or even particularly intelligent. I’m not. But the barrage of stupid nerd stereotypes was just obnoxious and offensive.
