Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?
Hard mode: no The Walking Dead
Ended way too soon:
-
Invader Zim (there were plans for 7 seasons, but Nick said it was “too expensive”)
-
Jimmy Neutron (again, f*ck you Nickelodeon)
-
Inside Job
-
The Misadventures of Flapjack (i mean, it’s length was ok, but i’m salty about it’s rushed ending).
Went on for too long:
-
Stranger Things (looking back, only S1 was good)
-
Rick & Morty (it was pure filler from S3 onwards)
-
The Simpsons (should have ended with the movie)
-
Spongebob Squarepants (also should have ended with it’s 1st movie)
-
The Fairly Oddparents (i share the common thought that the show ended in “Channel Surfers”, but there were a few good episodes afterwards).
-
Regular Show (mainly about Mordo’s disasterous love life, everything else was fine, and the ending brought me manly tears :')
Ended too soon, I would also add Rome and Deadwood
-
I’m sure most people here would agree that cancelling Game of Thrones once they ran out of source material and waiting for the books to be done (lol) would have been preferable to what we got.
GoT would have exited the cultural zeitgeist a lot sooner than it did, probably to the detriment of future viewer engagement and thus a source of revenue for HBO, which is why they pushed it forward, but still…
Weeds should have ended at the burning of Agrestic.
Lost
I just felt like it slapped me in the face with the ending. I was a kid when it came out and was obsessed with it! I also love Dominic Monogham from LOTR SO I watched for him… when He died (for no reason other than to kill his character!!!) I was so mad… but then the series finale was "oh btw… they were all dead the whole time… the smoke monster was death pulling them to the other side and they all were in purgatory… " I felt so upset…
Where do people come up with these made up endings of Lost?
Big bang theory. It was absolute garbage.
I’m on the flip side with that one. I absolutely loved Big Bang Theory, but honestly I can’t stand Young Sheldon. I mean sure the show has its funny moments, but still, why oh why won’t they just let the show die?
Any show that needs a laugh track to tell you when it’s trying to be funny isn’t going to be funny. I actually heard a perfect description of why BBT wasn’t good (to me) a couple weeks ago from the Venture Bros creators. BBT was a show created by people outside nerd culture trying to tell nerds what nerd culture is. And IMO it entirely missed the mark.
Supernatural
They managed to escalate all the way to God’s grumpy sister.
And then went even further, making the next enemy: The British.

Seriously folks - there can be only one and done:
HEROES
Save the cheerleader, save the world and then please - go home. But nooooo…/
