What TV shows still being made, do you wish would get cancelled ?
What fictional / non-fiction UNcancelled TV shows made in your country, or that come from overseas, that are still in production and still being made, do you wish would get cancelled, as you can't stand them and please give your reason/s why for any picks ?

Here's what I do when there's a show on that I truly hate:
I change the channel.
I only concern myself with shows I enjoy and wish NOT to get cancelled.

I guess the only thing I wish were gone was a lot of the REALITY TV garbage. I don't mind other shows, but I just think a story is more interesting than a bunch of trashy people running around embarrassing themselves for their 15 minutes of fame.
I'm just tired of the new trend of reality TV, because I'm frightened that more scripted shows are getting axed or pushed aside for more...crap.

I also agree with the Reality TV pick. Do we really need to see World Idol (worthless spinoff of equally evil American Idol)? As for other shows, just get rid of Bernie Mac show and I will be fine.
I need a new signature.

I can't say I wish ill will upon anything - everything except Luis is someone's favorite show, and these people all have mouths to feed.
Would I cry terribly if Enterprise were cancelled in an effort to purge Rick Berman from Star Trek? No. A couple months ago I might have nominated Jake 2.0 so that Keegan Connor Tracy would be free to be on a show I actually liked, but it's grown on me.
That's really the only reason I'd wish cancellation on a show - to free up people I want to see in something better. And I can't think of someone being really squandered now that Luis Guzman's horror show is gone.

I think that reality shows that are done more as comedies (The Osbournes, The Simple Life, The Joe Schmoe Show) are fine. The numerous competitive ones are boring.

*ALL* of the following on UK television:
(1) soap operas
(2) cookery programmes (because in the UK, instead of being informative, they've turned into food porn these days)
(3) DIY programmes (sorry, a translation is probably needed here - programmes featuring home redecoration/renovation)
(4) gritty police dramas more concerned with corruption and the personal lives of the cops than the plot
(5) 'fly on the wall' documentaries that basically make fun of the participants
(6) Jerry Springer and all similar shows
Not an unrealistic pipe dream - with the exception of the soap operas, this describes UK TV a couple of decades ago.
