- The Simpsons. Let it die, Fox/Disney.
- Futurama. The Fox seasons is it’s golden age. Now the show is sci-fi South Park. They have a show set in the future, but the writers make episodes based on the present.
- The Walking Dead. TWD dyed in season 2. They made 13 episodes out of 6 issues of the comic. It was poorly written, characters act like idiots, and the twist in Episode 7. You can see it coming from a mile away.
Why do you care that things you don’t like are running? It’s not for you if you don’t like it. let other people enjoy their things
Don’t yuck someone’s yum.
I think better question would be what shows do you want to see created?
There are a few shows I didn’t like, but then they improved significantly. So rather than getting cancelled, that’s probably what I’d look for
They can put the time and money into something new, but they don’t. Keep on milking.
The fact that they’re still getting milk, means people are still enjoying it
Honestly?
None, If something is a bit shit in your opinion, just ignore it.
I used to love the Simpsons but stopped watching it about 20 years ago.
Same with TWD, half way through season 2, it was obvious that season 1 was not going to be repeated as they had slashed the budget and it had become a soap opera with the occasional zombie. I dropped in for a bit of season 3 and 4 when someone said it had improved and noped out again for good.
I ignore/stop watching too. But sucks to see something you like turned to trash.
Most things on Fox News.
They have a show set in the future, but the writers make episodes based on the present.
That’s what it’s always been since day 1.
In the early days they did satirise current issues, but it mostly seemed to be through a lens of 31st-century technology or social conventions. Nowadays, the future setting often just feels like window dressing for a story that’s really entirely about the present.
The first episode is about Y2K. The second episode is about Disneyland. And so on.
If I don’t like a show I don’t watch or think about it
I used to watch most of these, but I just stopped. Never once did I want anything cancelled. Oh except for Fox News. That’s probably the only correct answer.

I think you don’t want the shows to be canceled you want them to have a finale.
Velma.
I mostly just don’t watch TV. Almost none of it is stuff I’d want to actually cancel - just keep it the fuck away from me and watch whatever you want. However, one of my hated shows was that Honey Boo Boo thing - not only tied to the intensely creepy “child pageant” bs, but aside from that it’s still people screwing with a little girl’s head for 15 minutes of fame. Every part of it making me physically cringe was just a bonus.
Also parts of my family is watching that 90 Day Fiancee thing, which… mostly seems mean-spirited, exploitative of people in vulnerable situations (being poor, or from a poorer country, or lonely, or just a bit of a moron), vaguely ragebaity - and is of course, pure “reality TV” diarrhea even apart from those. And cringe, likely intentionally boosted for profit same as all the rest.
I also used to hope Big Bang Theory would just… stop. It has, though, so that’s nice.
I had no idea the walking dead lasted until last year. Says 2022 was its last season.
Why should you want to cancel shows? When you don’t like the show, don’t watch. When nobody likes a show, nobody watches, no ad income -> exit show.
Of your example, I never heard of the last one, and to be honest, the name doesn’t sound interesting enough to find out whatnit’s about. Simpsons I haven’t seen in ages (does it still run?) And I’m happy with the 2nd reboot of Futurama, rewatching from the start.
Just because you don’t like a show it should be canceled. Ignoring it is way easier. When it’s worth to have it canceled, it’s not worth to fuss about.
I’m shocked to see there are people that still watch TV shows. I thought network TV was an ‘all but dead’ medium.
I think many people, myself included, still refer to strictly streaming shows as TV shows.
