What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did?

Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

Friends.

Lost.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

I was just thinking about the friends later seasons, hooking up Joey and Rachel, wtf was that about?

It was about money. Nothing else.

All I can think is that they were running out of couples, and the execs wanted to keep their cash cow alive for as long as possible. So, they ordered the writers to make it work somehow.

Joey and Phoebe would have made much more sense, but they wanted to squeeze every last ounce of viewing time out of the Ross-Rachel thing.

Yeah, fans don't typically respond well to new MCs being thrown into the cast late into a series' run, but they also love relationships so that's why you see so many series turn long-time friends into couples after a while

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Johnny Carson

Both Leno and Fallon are so boring.

Why Friends? Just curious to hear you motivation

The second half of the series is a boring soap opera with no stakes rather than an actual comedy.
