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 disagree. I remember waking up every Saturday morning and BET would play video’s all day. I miss Cita’s world, rap city basement, video countdown, midnight love, etc… I think they should bring all of that back. The media is becoming so focused on what’s not real (reality tv and sitcoms), it’s losing its real focus and that’s the art of music. I hope BET and MTV bring back music video shows because it really gave upcoming artist especially, a good way to get noticed.

  • Chocol8terain

    I can think of some others that REALLY should have been on this list.

    All of the reality crap shows need to definitely go….Jersey Shore is a total disgrace to the Italian people….I seen the show once and understand now why the Governor of New Jersey wanted that show off the air.

    • RedButterfly81

      I heard that the next season on this trash show coming up is the last season, thank you Jesus!

      • Love_Sexy

        Now that is great news

    • GLAMOUR

      But certainly the cast of Jersey Shore does NOT represent all Italians and the entire State of New Jersey, right?!?! If that were the case then [insert any ratchet reality show with foolish acting black women] should be off the air too! SMH.

    I have to agree, 106 & Park need to be cancelled. The show has not been good since Free and Aj left the show, Jersey Shore does need to be cancelled all they seem to do is drink and curse, and fight, American Idol, they do need to cancel that show for sure. As you said, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are not straight up with these contestants. I dont even watch that, the game, I definitely don’t even watch that, Teen mom does seem to promote teen pregnancy, I have to also agree with the previous person, Sara J, the bad girls club, keeping up with the Kardashians should be canned. My favorite basketball wives needs to go, none of these people are not even wives, Also the Real Housewives franchise should go as well.

  • poetsgroove

    Damn! Real World is still on? I remember watching Tami on that show and Puck on the San Francisco installment.

  • LeeLeeC

    If it wasn’t for The Game I wouldn’t even know what channel BET was…after this season I shall soon forget.

  • Sweetrose78

    This is the last season for the original Teen Mom, unfortunately 16 and pregnant will probably be on for a while longer.

  • jazmin davis

    Teen Mom is the one show I can think of where I’m glad there’s a lack of diversity. We don’t need any more ammunition for the public to think all black girls do is get pregnant.

  • bluekissess

    Television is for entertainment and informative purposes only. These so called reality shows aren’t reality. I’m not sure how the norm can relate to there reality. I want to laugh, cry, be upset, suspenseful, characters we (blacks) can relate to like Good Times. Not to mention all these talent (singing and dancing) competition. Americas Next Top Model should already be in the can (you don’t see the winners of the show after they’ve won)

  • Asia

    What all of these shows have in common (with the exception of American Idol) is that all of these television channels are owned by Viacom! Viacom makes millions by turning MTV, VH1, and ESPECIALLY BET into channels that shows nothing but trash and yet people watch it because they really don’t have a choice nowadays. I’m only 23 and I remember when these 3 channels were so unique and enjoyable to watch. Now I feel sorry for the youth that has to watch this crap.

    • blusasuke

      I Believe Viacom also owns nickelodeon if i am not mistaken

  • Cha Cha

    This is what tv has come to… that’s probably why I watch very little of it… I think I’ve only seen two the shows listed. I refuse to watch something that doesn’t uplift, change some for the better or do some good in this world. All the fighting, getting drunk, sleeping around is not my cup of tea.

    • Hentai

      How downright unAmerican of you!

  • Tallchiick

    Sadly most of these shows will not die anytime soon…they are guilty pleasures to many..

  • Shoop

    All of the Real World Challenge shows need to go too! I would have to go back in time 20 years to figure out who most of those people are and I have even less of an idea why they keep getting the chance to win money. If I want to see the elderly fight over money I’ll drop a Social Security check at the bingo hall.

  • JB

    This is Teen Mom’s last season. They got the clue. Bad Girl’s Club should have been up there.

  • Numero Uno

    I agree. All of these shows need to go and many more. lol. The question is what would be left to watch? Which points to the sad state we’re in as far as quality tv programming.

  • tlynette

    Pleased to report, I have never watched any of these! After rolling thru this list, I can’t see any reason they should be on air for any reason.

  • Teamme

    ALL reality shows need to be cancelled. Stat!

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

      AMEN!!!!

  • jordyn

    This is exactly why I don’t watch TV. Everything in the media just dumbs down your mind.

  • jzycaramel

    what abour Real Housewives of (fill in the blank)? I detest all of them
