RE: The Simpsons, granted I haven't seen many new episodes and haven't made a point to watch it, since probably 2000-2001, but when I do watch a new one (maybe once a year), its still kinda funny. Its just not must see TV anymore.

Somehow though, I am glad it is still there. I was 6 when the show premeried and it has been there my whole life. Comforting in a way lol. It's been an impressive run.

Agree totally on the real world. Years ago, I learned as a kid about living with AIDS (Pedro the SF season) and some other real life stuff. Now it's just kids getting wasted. MTV as a whole is pathetic and a sad, sad part of American culture.

Two and a Half men. This show has been on for ten years now and is starting to get repetitive and stale. It's time to pull the plug on it. It really should have ended after the whole mess Charlie went through.

Jerry Springer- such a stupid and superficial show. Should have never come on in the first place.

On the surface, it's surprising The Simpsons is still on but even though it is not as popular as it once was it is still a cash cow for Fox. Lots of people watch it now just out of habit.

I can't believe Grey's Anatomy is still on. I'll admit I liked it the first few seasons but their bit got tired.

Bill Maher. Thought he peaked during 9/11.

Oh, sooo many. Which do I choose?

Two and a Half Men - because it ran out of ideas. When it began, it was funny. When Jake was little and cute. But the main reason I liked the show at all was because of Conchata Ferrell (Berta). I loved her years ago when she was in Hot L Baltimore. She did cameos on other shows infrequently, and I was so happy to see her get such a good gig with TaaHM. Why can't someone see what I see and get this woman some really good show that will showcase her comedic talents?

Saturday Night Live - hasn't been funny in years. The original zanies made it tough for anyone else to follow them. Miss Chevy and Bill and Dan and Jim and Gilda and Jane.

American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, The Voice, America's Got Talent to name a few. Oh yeah, the Bachelor and Bachelorette. I don't even watch these shows and have to hear about them on the "news". I think I need to stop watching the news.
