I canceled all TV 8 years ago, so I am unable to participate in this query. lol
Glenn Beck. I hear the glue factory has an opening. I’m still working on pulling the radio show and book series.
Any reality show that revolves around fake people, fake drama and shock value. I’d replace it with anything else. Literally just about anything. Puppy cam, grass growing and braiding 101 would be more interesting to me.
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF and suchlike shows.
I’d replace it with a show that actually helps people like Intervention or Home Makeover.
Something with more substance and depth.
Almost every single mind-numbing reality show. If I could pick just one to remove, I’d go with American Idol. I’d replace it with Arrested Development season 4.
Wife Swap. Really? This is a show and it’s still on? How?
I would replace it with Boston Legal. Why did they take this show off and leave those stupid “reality” shows? Survivor? haha.
I’m not very familiar with whatever bullshit is popular on TV right now, but I’d cancel any TV reality garbage for good ol cartoons of the eighties! Like, Ninja Turtles, Samurai Pizza Cats or Princess Sisi. Ha, ha.
Every single reality show except Celebrity Apprentice. I love me some Cyndi Lauper/Sharon Osborne cat fights. And, this is the only show that I can stomach seeing Brett Michaels and his ugly ass bandana-ed head..
I’d replace them with some interesting documentaries.
In all honesty, I watch about 3 hours of t.v/week (if that).
Any show on TV and I would replace it with FIREFLY.
Yeah I agree reality shows have very much run their course & should be selected for a long overdue execution.
@Symbeline Yes! I’d love to see some reality shows get canceled in order to make room for older cartoons. “Dear viewer of [insert shitty reality show on MTV here], please note that this show has been cancelled, and we will now be playing episodes of Rocko’s Modern Life instead. Thanks, Management.”
Win.
Those ridiculous “soaps” that come on in the middle of the day. I really don’t want to be stuck watching General Hospital crap when I’m home sick.
I would replace it with almost anything, but preferably a kickass show like Fringe or The Office reruns.
Big Brothel, American spastic Idol, every single talk show, all advertising, etc. I would replace them with white noise.
Very few that I like….love Law and Order! This is about the only one I ever watch! Ballgames and Law and Order, that is it!...also, like to watch old movies!
Oh, please cancel Glenn Beck or Hannity and replace them with anyone that can walk and chew gum!
@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Yeah! Rocko’s Modern Life was fucking awesome. I’m adding to that Duckman, Mission Hill and The Oblongs. Brilliant end of the 90’s cartoons that were all cancelled for oh so much rubbish.
@BoBo1946 Law and Order SVU is where it’s at!
Moi aussi on the reality shows. I’d take them off and replace them with blank screen if that’s all there was. People probably watch too much TV. I know I have mine on for company all day- don’t even watch it half the time.
@tragiclikebowie I definitely agree with you! I would replace any reality show with Firefly and Lois and Clark.
I’d pull the O’Reilly Factor and replace it with: anything else.
There’s some new show with the dude from Six Feet Under and the guy from Idiocracy (his name might be Jax or Dax something), and I think the show is called Parenthood. Anyways, it sucks balls in a huge way. Just really fills me with rage when I’ve caught snippets. I’d be happy if it was replaced with some cool political show that wasn’t biased that everyone believed.
@cockswain political show that wasn’t biased that everyone believed – ha!
Did somebody say Rocko’s Modern Life? I take back my answer. I want to cancel everything and replace it all with RML. Word.
Also, every Judge _____ show on in the daytime would be replaced with a still picture of a slice of bread. No movement, no sound, just bread. I’d consider that a win for TV.
Oh, @chyna, say it isn’t so! :)
@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities There was an episode on Rocko’s Modern Life, where Mr. Bighead’s son, Ralph, was trying to get out of his contract on a tv show or cancel the show, so they replaced it with a still picture of mayonnaise or meatloaf or something, but it only caused the audience to love the show even more. At least, I think that was Rocko. Bahaha. Priceless.
@Vunessuh Hahaha! A perfect example of why I miss that show so much.
@Symbeline Yessss Goof Troop!!!! Courage the Cowardly Dog, Doug, David the Gnome, Muppet Babies, Bobby’s World, Mighty Max, Pinky and the Brain, Tale Spin, Ducktales..
I would replace Two and a Half Men with Arrested Development and show everyone what a real comedy is supposed to look like. ;)
All of the shows that try to convince the gullible that you can easily renovate, rebuild, and restore a wing of your home in thirty minutes. Replace with dead air.
Canceled: Gossip Girl, Laguna Beach, The Hills, any reality tv show about spoiled rich kids and/or guidos.
Replace with reruns of Buffy, Angel, or educational programs.
@Brian1946 Dancing With The Stars. Apparently you aren’t a fan or you would’ve known.~
@chyna Really? I thought DWTS meant Don’t Watch This Shit. Hmm. ~
Grey’s Anatomy. I quit that show back in ‘07 when Meredith got whacked in the head & fell off the dock into the unidentified body of water.
@tragiclikebowie Omg. I can’t believe I forgot Courage. That is seriously one epic show. One of the last cartoons I kept track of…until they cancelled that, too.
