Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

The last season of Picard was what everyone wanted the first season to be. Maybe that should have been the only season.

Leno I liked as a kid, but once I had my deprogramming and deconstruction, I saw the problem.

I still like the headlines bit he would do. But that doesn't really have much to do with his politics, so it's palatable.

Everything else I agree with a million percent, except I don't know what you mean by "SG TV".

Picard - Season one was meh, ok. Season two... awful already, and then they brought back Wesly. SHUT UP, Wesly! (and burn in heck!) Season three... the action that was needed, but it had this taint of boomerism. Only boomers can resist the evil and save the world, the millennials and gen-z age audience will succumb to brain washing... sound familiar? Screw that.

As for SG TV, I meant HGTV. Sorry about that.

Well dang when you put it like that... I can see what you mean. And the way they like to start suck in the past all the time is silly, but people do make mistakes, and jumping to new stuff too quickly can backfire if security isn't put in place. Not to say that the new stuff isn't inherently bad, but it must be fine correctly.

But it was all just to make the hero moment more hype, and it worked for me.

And knowing you meant HGTV makes me agree twice as hard. My mom loves that channel, and I can't stand any of it. I don't get how they can pretend they're different shows.

Their motives are different, there's different people on camera, but they're all the same show. You can make the same argument about a lot of genres, but a lot of reductions have to be made to do it.

With home reno stuff, it's quite literal and bald faced.

It's always meet the people that own it, then there's "demo day", then omg x happened, now we're really in a time/budget crunch! Oh look, we made it! And everybody clapped.
