There are plenty of TV shows that I hope continue to go strong into the next decade – House, Psych, Community, etc; but there are some I wish wouldn't make it. I wish these five shows would fade away just as the 2000's will this January.
Heroes
When a TV show starts breaking out the lesbian kisses, things are either riding real high or riding real low. For Heroes it is real low. This show has completely fallen apart. Most people didn't see this show going far beyond its first season, which was truly amazing. Still, I thought the beginning of season two was great and interesting. Unfortunately, then came the writer's strike and the show's producers did something incredibly stupid. They decided to abandon the season's story arc. (Anybody remember Peter's girlfriend, who is apparently still in the future somewhere?) From there the show started to tumble in my opinion. The current season is some of the worst TV I have seen in a long time. Somebody buy me season one on DVD and let me forget about the rest.
The Jay Leno Show
Jay. Leno. Not. Funny.
Two and a Half Men
When some child actors grow up they seem to forget how to act. Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake on the show, seems to be in that category. Most of the amusement from the show comes from Jake interacting with Charlie, well that amusement has been seriously hampered. I was never really a fan of this show, just another laugh track whore if you ask me. Charlie Sheen is also getting creepier every time I see him.
CSI: Miami
David Friggin' Caruso. I am theorizing that if CSI: Miami were to go away so would Caruso. I mean how does this guy get an acting job? Seriously? I am sure he would be good at commercials, maybe sunglass commercials, but carrying an hour TV show, not so much.
The Simpsons
In its heyday this show was controversial, funny and generally exceptional, but jeepers isn't 21 seasons enough? What else is there for this show to accomplish? It has had a successful movie, seems to rolling in reruns in perpetuity and it helped give birth to its successor Family Guy. Time magazine even named it the greatest television series of the 20th Century. It is time for Bart, Lisa and Maggie to grow up.
