10 Television shows that have overstayed their welcome


Some of these shows used to be my favourite. Some of these are the best in the history of Television. But lets face it, at some point, even the most creative writers/directors run out of creativity. here are 10 shows that seriously need to take a hike. there are a lot more but lets just keep it at 10...[Word to those who are still hooked: MOVE ON!]


1. Generations 




One of the most viewed tv shows in South Africa, the hit show made its debut in 1994. with all the drama, diverse characters and almost impossible story-lines, Generations managed to keep its audience hooked from day 1. who can forget Archie Moroka, the ruthless Ngamla, the formidable Karabo Moroka, Tau faking his death, Noluntu Memela spiking her mother's tea? many talented actors have acquired great recognition through this TV show but its grown dull, the story lines became predictable. I wish during these few weeks that the show is off air Mfundi Vundla could announce the show is going for good..but oh well..


2. The Vampire Diaries


At some point The vampire Diaries used to be my favourite show. I wanted to be a vampire too..(just kidding) but it was a great show. it started off simply with humans(and  doppelgangers ), witches, werewolves and  vampires. Then the story lines got complicated and Predictable, Elena is always whining, they added Travelers, hybrids, the brotherhood of the five, ghosts, Vampire hunters, and most  unacceptable thing they did:  Caroline and Klaus fathom was left disappointed at the end of season 4-5. Thank you for nothing Julie Plec, you can kiss my laptop screen!
3. Days of our lives 
I don't need to spend too much time explaining why this one needs to bid our TV screens farewell. This soapie has been on air since my grandmother was in kindergarten, ok exaggeration, its been on since 1965, Yesterday (November 08, 2014) Days of Our lives celebrated its 49 year anniversary (12 460 episodes). Its time Bo&Hope bid our tv screens goodbye







4. The Bold and The Beautiful



This should have been the first one on the list  This show needs help. No good characters, no storyline, no character development, no character integrity, no storyline consistency with history of the show, simply lazy writing. Same triangle nonsense with same scene day in day out. Story line story line where art thou?? Be it a beginning, be it a middle, even an end. Storyline you are missed, there is chaos, despair and a whole lot of mess. Oh storyline please don't hide, storyline where art thou, please come out and shine. i am sick and tired of a show with immortal characters, ok they are not immortal but  Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan haven't aged a day since this show made its debut in 1987.  I'm sick of their perfect faces.







5. Two and a half men




Lets be honest for a second: the humor of this show lived and died with Charlie Sheen, worst mistake firing him and replacing him with Ashton Kutcher ( don't get me wrong, he is good to look at but..), he is not a Charlie.. #bringbackourCharlie until then, goodbye two and a half wannabees..







6.  The Big Bang Theory
A little brother to Two and a Half men, this show was produced by the same guy who created  #5. well done Chuck Lorre for keeping us glued to our tv screens for years, but I am typing this one with tears in my eyes. how can something so good become this dull? for the first time in years i yawned and slumbered while watching an episode of The big bang theory. i remember i could watch the same episode 5 times and still find every joke funny. now i'm just like "Meh"...Sheldon is the best comic relief in the history of situation comedy but the entire show'storyline has been rather disappointing for the past 2 years, Sheldon getting a girlfriend, Howard getting married, Raj learning how to speak to women and Leonard getting engaged to Penny..big mistakes....Bye.

7. Girls                                                                                                                                                    
This is probably one of the worst shows on Television. I thought it was going to be addressing issues facing modern day girls, instead its a show with a lazy plot, excessive nudity(Game of Thrones need to leave too for this reason...don't kill me GOT fans), incoherent subplots and a talent-less cast, combination for boredom! I am still shocked the show is returning for its 4th season in 2015,I'll wait for your downfall "girls"..i'll wait..
8. 2 Broke girls                                                                                                                                     
Ok maybe  we girls just need to stop being on Tv..i don't know..but whatever it is, 2 broke girls need to go...i loved Max and Caroline's witty personalities, but one can only laugh so much....we know the girls are  gonna be broke till the show ends(thanks for naming it '2 broke girls') and the jokes are not as funny...

9. Under the dome                                                                                                                               
This is the most annoying on the list...i wanted to gouge my eyes out after watching one episode.... for those who haven't watched this show; DON'T ATTEMPT. "Under the Dome tells the story of the residents of the small town of Chester's Mill, where a massive, transparent, indestructible dome suddenly cuts them off from the rest of the world. With no Internet access, no mobile signals and limited radio communication, the people trapped inside must find their own ways to survive with diminishing resources and rising tensions. While military forces, the government, and the media positioned outside of this surrounding barrier attempt to break it down, a small group of people inside attempt to figure out what the dome is, where it came from, and when (and if) it will go away"(Wikipedia)


  

                      the moment that made the show was a cow splitting in half after being hit by a dome(pilot episode- first 10 minutes).....aaaaaaaaaaand THAT WAS IT!..


10. Grey's anatomy                                                                                                                        
my view on this one is still pending, i'm not saying this is a bad show, but letting Christina Yang (Sandra Oh) go was the worst mistake they ever made, sure i was mad when they killed off George O'Malley, let Preston Burke go and brought Alex Karev an annoying girlfriend, but letting Yang go is beyond forgivable. i'll still watch with the hope that Yang will come back.... #BringBackYang
