What shows would you axe if you could?

Inspired by this, what show would like to see get the axe?

Personally, I would kill off anything that has any semblance to a reality tv show. After that I would get rid of every daytime soap opera. And finally I would kill anything with "Ghost", or "UFO" in the title. Oh, and I can't forget "Pro" wrestling and nascar.

You are so incredibly out of touch with the rest of this nation. If you were ever given control of a television network you would run it into the ground. Everyone knows this.

 

[Ruptga]

I'd cancel every show in production and replace them with reruns of Star Trek TNG with a few episodes of Voyager and TOS thrown in for good measure.

Probably, but at least I would enjoy watching TV.

 

[mugs]

None, because I just don't watch shows that I don't like. There are enough good shows to keep me occupied, no need to make room for more.

I'd love to never hear about Twilight again though.

You've got my vote. Throw in Twilight Zone, and I might start watching TV again :^)

Thats what I'm talking about here. Your taste in television does not reflect the popular opinion of the nation. Like it or not, reality TV is here to stay. Why don't you try watching one sometime? It'll do you some good. Everyone knows this.

[ChaoZ]

Every reality show.

 

[sandorski]

All "Reality" shows, anything with "Think" and "You" in the title, ET, Wrestling.

And?

I have, it's awful. I have a sister who is in LOVE with it, whenever she comes over, it is the only thing she will put on TV.

The stuff is popular because it is really cheap to make, and entertaining to a fair amount of people (Not everyone).

The original question was, what show would you like to see canceled. Not, what decision should the companies make that is most fiscally sound. Everyone knows this.

 

[FoBoT]

what we need are more re-runs of Gilligan's Island

 

[schneiderguy]

Everything besides Top Gear, so I could watch Top Gear 24/7 on every single channel.^_^

 

[Terabyte]

Housewives of shitsville and similar reality tv shows. Why do people watch crap like this? :sigh:

 

[techs]

I'll tell you what I would show.

If I were NBC I would take the shows from their cable networks and move them to NBC.
Wharehouse 13 and Eureka from SighFy. I'd make another Stargate, not like Universe, but more like a combo between SG-1 and Universe with a much bigger budget. Notice, Royal Pains, White Collar, Psych from USA network.

And of course I would either can Leno, or move him back to 11:30.

 

[StageLeft]

Glee would go as would all major pro sports on tv.

Them's fightin words!

 

[Anubis]

televised poker and the NBA

 

[NGC_604]

The Ultimate Fighter. It was semi-good the first couple of seasons. Now they might as well just call it "The Ultimate Douchebag".

I am so with you on that one.

I figure a healthy does of L&O and CSI reruns would keep the idiots at bay.

I happen to enjoy occasional WSOP, but its on tooooo much.

and I would keep Obama off primetime

 

[oiprocs]

Grey's, House, etc. Anything that people would cry over.
