22 TV Shows That Lasted Way Longer Than They Should Have

‘Happy Days’ jumped the shark

There are certain times in a person’s life where you don’t question the desirability of an outcome, you simply offer your congratulations: a wedding announcement, a pregnancy announcement and the renewal of a favorite TV show for another season. After all, there are so many people who struggle to reach such milestones and so many series that get canceled before their time. Why harsh their buzz (except in the case of the pregnancy announcement)?

Well, because some TV shows deserve a merciful death, that’s why. At a certain point, networks are just parading their limp, comatose bodies before viewers in a display that’s not quite morbid but definitely distasteful. Reddit shared exactly which ones when user pls_dont_ban_mod asked r/AskReddit, “What’s a show that went on for too long?”
