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?

Scrubs should have been done with season 7, saying good bye to JD. no weird season 8 with new side stories that all sucked!!

Oh and Family guy... when Seth left the writing and production of the show and only did voicing, the shows quality changed .. it's funny, but its no where near as on the nose funny as season 1 through 10.. now when they break the fourth wall for a brake away joke, it just feels... off.. peter is not ironically funny anymore.. the meg jokes got stale and honestly cruel to where it was not Soo funny anymore.. Lois used to be a great loving mother, even to meg, then became just cold and unrelatable to me... Stewie was funnier as a world domination deviant before they completey changed his character around.., Brian used to be more relatable and then just got pretentious and misogynistic that really wasn't ironically funny anymore.. Chris is maybe the one character who has barely changed from the early seasons... idk it's just not that funny any more to me..

Blame the network for how Scrubs was handled, iirc Bill Lawrence never wanted to acknowledge that season 8 was anything but a spin-off. As such, any rewatches of Scrubs in my household end with season 7.

Family guy seems to be a lot better recently. I'm going through season 19 and it's a lot more grounded (by family guy standards).

I mean for me it's really the characters.. not the story that sucks.. they do tackle some tough, on the nose content, but the characters personality changes just kinda ruin it for me.. I understand I could be a minority in this opinion too

I agree with Family Guy. Once the reruns hit double digit seasons I stop watching. It definitely was at its best in the original run and right after it was revived. Besides the family members, the supporting cast also changed for the worst, with Quagmire going from Playboy to sexual predator to sexual predator with a grudge against Brian, Joe going from hero cop to whiny wheelchair guy, and Cleveland being more assertive after getting his own show.

OMG, so much this!!! I agree 💯
