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?

The Office. Last couple seasons were garbo

cue downvotes from the “still watches The Office on loop” crowd

The last seasons are a lot weaker, I have to agree. I got my hopes up real high when Will Ferrell entered the chat, but he was just a temp :-(.

Still watch that Garbo on repeat though ^_^

I gotta say Will Ferrell was probably one of my least favorite parts of the entire show, right after Nellie and Sound Guy.

Dang, I already loved him from so many other movies. I'll go with sound guy for least favorite!

Should have stopped the show when Michael left, and made a TV movie of Dwight's wedding.

I still think the way Jim handled being (or technically not being) the best mensch is worthy of being canon.

But Nellie and Robert were just too bizarre. Will Ferrell was just awkward. It could've been good but he was just very strange. No one was a worthy replacement. Even Ray Romano would have been weird if he hadn't gotten scared off.

I would watch the Michael session on loop if I wanted to pay for peacock.

After Jim and Pam's wedding it could of ended, the quality was already going on. The only redeeming thing to me after Steve Carrell left was Robert California and even then I could of done without that.

Could HAVE. Never "of"

Could have/could've

Should have/should've

Would have/would've

People think it's "of" because the contractions sound like it. "Could've" sounds like "could of", but it doesn't make any sense (of isn't even a verb at all) and a lot of people don't even think about what they're saying.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves tbh it's like grade 3 level English and so many people get it wrong. 90% will get extremely defensive about it as well "I dIdNt ReAlIzE tHiS wAs An EnGlIsH eSsAy"

It’s ALWAYS native English speakers that fuck it up too. My dumbest mates always hit me with the “of” and it’s baffling.
