Will 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.

Absolutely agree 100%. Will and Grace usde to be great, but I haven't watched it in the last couple of years either. I watch Saturday Night Live every once in a while, but most of the sketches are pure crap. Larry just needs to up and die already. I never watched ET. And Jerry Springer is everything that is sad and vapid about the average American

First of all, you should install the Google toolbar. It's free and it makes it extremely quick and easy to find out that "relevent" is not a word.
Secondly, "Will & Grace" may not be what it used to be but it's still one of the few things supporting the entire sitcom genre at this point. It doesn't deserve cancellation, that's for sure. (Indeed, cancellation occurs only when keeping a series alive becomes cost-prohibitive for the network and/or studio. If you knew anything at all about television, you'd already have a grasp on that.)
I can't even continue addressing this drivel. Look at the ratings or try to get your hands on the revenue figures for the other series you think should deserve cancellation.
This site is really pretty sad.

I love the type who come along and have nothing better to do than spell check a post and complain about the one word that has been missed. I bet you have red pen marks all over your screen, next to all the white out from all the changes you've made?
I've had a theory about SNL for a few years and it seems to be pretty accurate: SNL, for the most part, sucks when its on live. A few years later, when the cast moves on to bigger and better things, you see the reruns and laugh at the skits you slept through years before. The problem with the most recent cast jumpers, Fallon is the only one to do something, and so far, it hasn't been much.

My theory on SNL is it's never as good as it was when you were a junior/senior in highschool. When you're in your 20s, you have better things to do on a saturday night, and once you hit 30, you no longer have the energy to stay up late. Of course, when I was in highschool, it was the heyday of the Meyers, Hartman, Sanders, Spade years, so maybe I'm biased a little.

And I agree that Saturday Night Live is not as good as it used to be.
