I like Storage Wars. Even Storage Wars Texas has its moments, and when it comes out I might watch Storage Wars New York...

19 Kids and Counting has to go, so does The Simpsons (heard they're cancelling next year), Toddlers and Tiarra's positively disturbs me, and I don't like those Operation Repo shows. Maury Povich used to have good shows on, when he was bringing on talented kids and doing awesome makeovers, but now its all *Girl on show for 20th time with six more men* "None of them are the father!!!!" *Douche boys all jump around like idiots celebrating while girl breaks down crying*

If you want good quality programming for the kids, I'd love it if they would put Gargoyles back on TV. They had wonderful lessons on tolerance, gun safety, promoted literacy, and had awesome story lines that kept me hooked until it was cancelled.

Squidbillies
Why does this show even exist?

Oh come on, Squidbillies is fucking hilarious.

I will concede that most shows, even good shows, stick around far longer than they really should.  Network executives seem to milk ideas bone-dry as frequently as possible.

Gargoyles was my favorite show when it was on, until the third season when they fired all the writers and the show took a steep downward plunge.

Yeah my decision to dislike you just got a whole fucking lot better.

Ironbite-let me guess you also liked 12 oz. Mouse when it was on.

Nah, that was more my brother's thing.

Besides, you have to admit that the character "Sheriff" on Squidbillies is awesome.

And seriously, you need to relax.

Maury has become the poor man's Jerry Springer.  I only watched it when Jack Hanna was on with the different kinds of animals, I'm sick of the whole ghetto baby mama bs, part of me feels it promotes that type of behavior, in that it gets these idiots on TV.

Another show to me that needs to die is the show workaholics. Also if they were to bring back a show I would love for them to bring back these two shows Important things with Demetri Martin and The Sarah Silverman Program .

Demetri Martin was pretty good, but I always felt Sarah Silverman was overrated.

Dave Chappelle, on the other hand...that dude should come back to television.  Pity he was basically a victim of his own success.

I don't like Squidbillies because I think it's dumb as hell, but I can't call someone's opinion wrong. That said, I would give zero fucks if it were canceled.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

What makes it funny is that it is a parody of Southern U.S. culture, written by Southerners.  To call it "stupid" is redundant because it is supposed to be stupid.

It's like complaining that "Married With Children" was trash TV.  Well no shit, it was designed to be trash TV; that's what makes it work.

I'm well aware, considering my sister and her husband have watched it a good bit. I don't care if it's designed to be stupid. I'm not entertained by that type of stupid. Thus, I don't like the damn show.

Gargoyles was my favorite show when it was on, until the third season when they fired all the writers and the show took a steep downward plunge.

The Goliath Chronicles *vomit* The only episode from the third season considered cannon by the fans of the show is the first episode which introduces the Quarryment. That was the last episode the series creator Greg Weisman worked on.

But if you look around, Greg Weisman continued the series through comic books.

Also, as a bit of little known trivia... did you know that Lexington is actually gay? Greg Weisman didn't dare put it in the show because it was too controversial, but I believe he is incorporating it into his comics.
