Great shows that (over time) became unbearable to watch

    i'd give up beer for a month if i could coach one game using that term exclusively. especially a parent.

    snl definitely goes in waves. right now, this current cast is at a peak, imo. they've even made keenan funny.

    IMO, the only bad episodes of Chappelle Show were those few "lost episodes" that they showed after Dave left.

    SNL started going downhill when Jimmy Fallon got there.

    Agreed w/ the positive SNL thoughts. Kristen Wiig has emerged as the MVP of the show and the exprienced cast members are very solid.

    Bringing in Ted McGinley seems to have been the kiss of death for many shows.

    From wiki's page on "jumping the shark"

    Nope.


    And SNL has been bad since Will Ferrell left, and downright awful since Tina Fey left.

    Andy Samberg is the only funny person. Everyone else sucks and I am awesome.

    probably because you suck. andy samberg is pretty terrible in non-digital shorts.

    I only watch his music videos GrooGurxKlan

    You guys can't seriously think SNL is anywhere as funny as it used to be.

    SERIOUSLY.

    Come on.

    I only watch when somebody awesome is hosting like Malkovich or Hugh Laurie.

    Oh yeah...I guess they just got rid of him without explanation.

    Anyway, MWC became unbearable to watch over time in that it hasn't aged well at all. I loved it as a kid, but man it's really bad. There are still some good lines ("choco-hooters"), but it's not what I thought it was.

    Think that's probably a result of it being more of a boundary pusher type show in its day. The outragous stuff that was said and done just don't have the same effect they did when they first premiered considering what's on TV no a days.

    Heroes
    Prison Break
    and more recently (for me), Bones

    I gave up on Heroes and Prison Break, and now Bones is like a chore to get through at times. I don't even have the heart to watch the last three episodes I downloaded.

    I think it was hitting on all cylinders when they were in the burbs. The way they made fun of Americana was awesome.

    I still like the show and will watch the next season whenever it comes out but it isn't as good as when it was small time.
