It's amazing how much crap stays on for year after year.....like these:

Sabrina
Charmed
Angel
Buffy
Pokemon
Power Rangers
Any 'reality' show (The Real Life, Survivor, The Bitchelorette, you know the ones....

Then there's shows that are so long in the tooth, they need to be put down:

Frazier (great in its day)
Friends <insert finger in throat>
The Simpsons (very sad, it's my favorite show :( )

I didn't list those because they haven't been on for years and years. But you're right, so I added them ;)

I think they should dump any show on the WB or UPN and replace it with reruns of classics from other networks.

i know.. cnn blows:p

Actually I entirely agree. 24 hour news channels are pretty disturbing. You get the distinct impression that a lot of the time they are really fvcking reaching for material ala "So what in your professional opinion Dr. would the shooter generally be wearing when he commits the crime? Perhaps camo?"....

I get the same tightening in my gut as I remember experiencing when "Small Wonder" disgraced the tube.

why are these shows still on the air? because enough people like them enough to continue to watch them. and your definition of crap isn't exactly universal. if i said sopranos and west wing were overrated piles of dung, why am i wrong? because a certain number of people disagree with me? do numbers make right? if they do, then you'd be wrong because millions of people still watch the shows you call crap. try not to get too worked up over television.

The Simpsons has been better this season. It's still better than most of the stuff out there today.

Here is an outstanding and thought-provoking Kuro5hin article that's very much relevant with regards to those 24-hour news channels.
