The Five: 5 long running shows that should be cancelled

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE
  • Will and GraceWill and Grace: Hey, this was once a great show. Some of the episodes from the first three seasons are airing in syndication right now, and many are near brilliant. But my God, what has happened in the past few years? It's now filled with needless star cameos, zingers that no longer zing but just sag, and two great character creations (Jack and Karen) that now act like completely surreal mental cases. Pretty sad.
  • Jerry Springer: If you really need to ask why, you don't deserve to own a TV set.
  • Saturday Night Live: This show should stay on only if it's still relevant and still funny. It's neither. No one talks about it anymore on Monday morning, and all those bad sketches that you used to see only in the last half hour of the show are now at the beginning too. Just because Weekend Update and TV Funhouse are pretty good isn't a reason to keep the show on.
  • Entertainment Tonight: Hey, who's birthday is it today? Is Britney pregnant? What's up with Lindsay Lohan's breasts? I used to watch this show religiously, back when it actually had some cool movie/tv news and reviews. Now it's just gossip for people with lobotomies and wall to wall fashion news. With all the other entertainment shows, the web, and E!, do we need this show anymore?
  • Larry King Live: Once in a while he'll have an intriguing political guest or maybe Jon Stewart or Bill Maher, but 84% of the show is about Michael Jackson or Scott Peterson. The other 16%? Psychics and self-help gurus.
