The Thrill is Gone: 7 TV Shows That Need To Call It Quits…Like Yesterday.

June 6th, 2012 - By IndigoBlack

Times are a-changing and so is television, folks. And if you leave it up to television station bosses, whatever makes money will stay on and play itself out no matter how lame the shows get, how many people voice concerns, complaints, or basically say they’re bored. But the following shows truly need to wrap it up. They’ve lost their spark, what made them funny, interesting, and even informative. Check out the following choices and see if you agree. And of course, a majority of the shows are reality TV. But what else do you expect, that’s all we’re getting on our televisions! Special shout out to Viacom for airing most of these programs on their array of stations (and not a good shout out…).

106 & Park

No disrespect, but let’s keep it real: TV shows that cater to music video countdowns and showcasing minimally talented celebrities answering the most basic of questions are out of style. Don’t believe it? Where the hell is “TRL”? Exactly. While this show had its golden years with A.J. and Free and was what everyone was running home to watch, it has become a corny shell of itself. The chemistry between Rocsi and Terrence just wasn’t like what we got from A.J. and Free (who couldn’t see that A.J. had a thing for his co-host?). And seriously, they don’t even really play the videos for more than a minute anymore anyway. Instead of looking for new hosts and forcing these young’ns to have to adjust to new faces, just give it a rest already.

    I agree. Sadly with 2 main characters leaving the game, unfortunately it’s a wrap.

  • Treacle234

    This reminds me I got to check out this season of Teen Mom.

  • J.Denise

    Yes ! It over for The Game

  • http://twitter.com/gennatay RoGina

    With the main characters leaving, I agree that The Game will probably need to leave. what I don’t get was why everyone complained about the new story line. It was refreshing to see how Derwin and Melanie’s relationship evolved once he finally made it. were they just suppose to struggle forever?

  • Zeeky H Bomb

    I disagree on The Game, but that’s gonna die on it’s own anyway over time. It’s sad, but I actually liked the changes. People change when money gets big. I mean….they all became huge millionaires and whatever. Anyway, I liked both versions and I’m in the minority for that. I haven’t seen 106 & Park since my Junior year of HS back in 2002/2003. I’ve seen quick glances tho…nothing to write home about. As for Bad Girls Club, I’m on the fence. I take it as an etiquette lesson. Basically–don’t act like those girls. It’s their own dumb fault if they choose to get drunk, get nekkid, and act stupid on TV. The Kardash empire will sadly take forever to rot off TV, so I ain’t even holding my breath on that one. Just when there’s hope, a new show comes up.

      I liked the changes on The Game as well. It’s almost like the people who hated the new story line were just wanted them to fail.

      • cake211

        nah girl, we all wanted them to win but they failed anyway. The changes were melo-dramatic and cheesy. they tried to add depth to the characters by making them psychotic- especially melanie and tasha. it’s just a bad soap opera that needs to die.

      • Msmykimoto2u

        I think people wangted to see the succeed which is why the whole petition happened and then after it was rescued, they went all left field with the character developments. Melanie should have gotten pregnant before this season eneded and now she is never coming back

    • Trisha_B

      I didn’t mind SOME of the changes on the Game. but i didn’t like how they switched Melanie’s character up like that. At 1st, she was “Med School” everything was about being a doctor, then it switched up & everything was about being a baller’s wife. Everything she was against in the beginning. & I didn’t like Jason’s wife’s character after the divorce. & it made me feel some way that they changed Brit Brats character like that lol. But i did like Maleiks character after the changes

      • Msmykimoto2u

        Im sorry, I have to disagree about Mr. Pitts. He is just as funny to me as he was on CW and the only reason why i stayed tuning in. He had me rolling when he called Chardonnay “Pinot Noir”! And you cant forget the infamous “Dip and Pitts” lmbo!
        But I will agree about Melanie’s character. I hated the new her. I miss kelly so much and the new Britt Brat? I just wanted to choke her…(where did she go anyway? Wasnt Jason supposed to be watching her?) Maleik was too angry all the time and tasha became too ghetto fabulous. What rich woman still gets her hair done in her living room and keeps weed in her Bible? Come on…

  • IllyPhilly

    I agree with every damn show on here being cancelled and I only still watch 2 of the ones named. Bad or more like lame itch bay club needs to go as well. Micheal Jackson was Bad, them chicks just look bad!

  • http://statigram.com/tishaboo94 Tisha Boo

    WTF! the real world is still on but i agree all the shows need to go and 106&Park really needs to go that used to be the one show i come home to see now i turn everytime it comes on

  • Gimmeabreak78

    I can’t believe than none of the 37 Kardashian shows made this list.

  • Trisha_B

    Agree w/ all of them! When Aj & Free hosted 106, it was more for older teens, people in their 20′s. That had more rappers, talked about more adult stuff, & had dirty jokes. (Remember the Janet Lap dance?! lol) But once Debra Lee took BET over, 106 got watered down to be more G-PG rated. The audience is younger (I heard you can’t be no older than like 16-18 to be in the audience) Rappers & older artist don’t make appearances anymore.
    Real word sucks! & has been for about 10 years now lol. Never watched the Jersey Shore, That is probably the worst pics of the BBW. So unflattering lol. Teen mom needs to end ASAP! The show doesn’t show the real struggles of teen moms. All the girls are dysfunctional & need therapy. Amber got 5 years for beating her BF smg

    • Msmykimoto2u

      They make the older people sit on the other side of the studio so the camera doesnt catch them. Sad…

    • http://twitter.com/superstarseven Noah Rivers

      10 years? A little longer than that, hon.

  • TRUTH

    Also, is it me that 16 and pregnant or whatever show doesn’t have black teen moms (i could be wrong since I dont watch, my observation from the pic of the teen moms). I thot teenage pregnancy was high in black & hispanic communities but only the white teen moms get paid. Quite foul!!

    • Trisha_B

      There have been black moms on 16 & pregnant, but none of them made it to the Teen Mom show. I get what your saying, but i all the girls on Teen Mom are dysfunctional, those bring the ratings. TBH if there was a black teen mom, it would be the most dysfunctional black mom & i rather not see that broadcasted on MTV lol

  • TRUTH

    You know what’s funny, I never watch/follow these shows except for AI back in the day (when ruben won) with the original judges. Dang I feel old!!

  • RG

    The show “How I Met Your Mother” needs to go!

    • daahlingnikki

      Has he met the mother yet? I stopped watching that show after season 2…

      • Guest

        No he hasn’t…which is why it’s getting old. I used to loooove that show-I love me some Neil Patrick Harris…but it’s time. It’s run it’s course.
        ANTM should have topped this list-if you have to change the entire cast after 2 seasons of gimmicks…it’s a wrap!

  • Candacey Doris

    I agree that all of these shows need to go. I honestly didn’t now that the Real World was still on air. Not a good sign. And the new hosts of 106&Park are so boring. I don’t even watch them. The entire audience there is made p of kids 13-18 now and i always wonder who let them out of school. Signs that I’m getting old i guess.

  • http://twitter.com/_BryBelle BryHindrixx

    True. All these shows should have BEEN gone. But I mean.. trash TV is what America wants. BTW I forgot all about the Real World.. Who still watches that.?

  • ieshapatterson

    lol i give this list 100% tv along with hollywood as a whole,is OUT of fresh,new and exciting ideas.reality rules with them and their ratings are doing fine with it,so they bring the same old trash back with different titles,different races all doing different things.but the one thing that they ALL have in common,is having these people make complete and total fools of themselves.

  • Ms. Blue

    All the Kardashian related shows should have mad it to this list.

  • http://www.facebook.com/minkysmom82 Alexis Morris

    lord have mercy on those girls from the bad girls club.

  • yikes

    wow i agree 100%

  • Sara j

    I think the Bad Girls Club, Keeping up with the Kardashians and America’s Next Top Model should be canceled too.

    • RedButterfly81

      Forgot to add BGC, I hate that show.

    • Numero Uno

      Yes! BGC definitely needs to go. It should have been cancelled about 3 seasons ago. And definitely Top Model has run it’s course. What season are they even on now? Number 75? This show for some reason won’t go away.

    • JarellJupiter

      No Keeping up with the Kardashians and Bad girls clubs should NOT BE CANCELED!!

      • http://twitter.com/MadameGigglez ItsBitchPuddingBLAM

        but WHY?

      • GLAMOUR

        I agree with keeping “Keeping up with the Kardashians”. There’s just something about that crazy family that makes you want to keep watching. Their lives are abnormal, yet normal at the same time. Got to love them. lol

        • Hentai

          “Got to love them.” ?!!!!

          No, we don’t.

      • GLAMOUR

        “Bad Girls Club” is just a HOT RATCHET MESS. I watched an episode of the one chick’s wedding spin off, and a little girl no more than 12 yrs old came up to her and said that she looked up to her. The BGC cast member, was like “no, don’t look up to me!” Damn shame that show.

      • http://www.facebook.com/taryn.swain1 Taryn Bryant

        You just like to watch train wrecks.

    • Smissmurray

      Yes I agree goodbye to ANTM, it should have left when her talk show went off the air. How many NTM could America possibly have hang it up!

    • MissK

      TV is just awful these days. I had that new MTV show Brooklyn 11223344 or some mess on in the background when I was doing my hair last night and it’s some new Jersey Shore TRASH…I shouldn’t have even given it ratings with my back turned to the TV!

      On another note – TLC needs to wrap HALF of it’s programming yesterday!

      • http://www.facebook.com/taryn.swain1 Taryn Bryant

        As a former tv addict…I barely watch tv anymore. It just annoys me. And the shows I do like are the ones they keep taking off the air. Go figure.

    • KJ23

      YES! ANTM has just gotten… ugh… gimmicky. At first Tyra used to spend time with the girls and there was thought put into the photo shoots. Now, it just seems like everything is just an afterthought. I stopped watching the season that Saleisha won, but took a hiatus from boycotting it to watch the British Invasion. Even though I liked the British Invasion season, what’s the next gimmick? And what’s this with having a SINGLE produced?! Really?!?! Do like Jerry Seinfeld did, leave on a high note!

      • http://www.facebook.com/taryn.swain1 Taryn Bryant

        Too late for that.

  • RedButterfly81

    Where’s Love and Hip-Hop, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Mob Wives, Keeping Up With The KarTRASHians and other KarTRASHian related shows, 16 and Pregnant and last but not least: America’s Next Top Model on this list? I didn’t even know The Real World is still on TV, even though I even’t watched MTV in years.

    • freebee33

      16 and pregnant is on the list already. But I agree with the others you pointed out, especially the Kardashian foolishness..

      • Msmykimoto2u

        I want to knowwhats the difference between 16 and preggo and teen mom? Arent they the same show? Do we really need two of them?
