14 Washed-Up TV Shows In Desperate Need Of Cancellation

Where else can these tv shows really go?

Whereas a troubling movie that outstays its welcome might only steal an extra 30 minutes or so of your precious time, with TV shows it's a whole different story. If you're a fan of a hit series, it's likely that, if it stays on the air long enough, the quality is going to begin to decline as creative stagnation sets in, even if ratings continue to be high enough that it's financially viable to keep the show on the air, and everyone is keen to ride the gravy train along the way. If you've been watching a show for close to or even upwards of a decade, it's not exactly easy to detach yourself: you feel like you owe it to yourself to see it through to the end, hopeful that each upcoming season just might be the last. But dammit, then it gets renewed for another season (or three), and you resign yourself to the fact that, while you could just abandon the sinking ship, you're almost certainly going to keep contributing to the problem by helping boost those precious ratings. Though some shows have proven they can return from the brink of awfulness (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. delivered a mostly terrible first season before recovering), while others that deserve cancellation have recently been given their merciful marching orders (Two and a Half Men, Glee), here are 14 shows all in their sure decline (some in worse states than others) and in desperate need of cancellation.
