TV series which should be pensioned off

Eastenders can`t go anywhere! And I love Call the Midwife. Agree about most of the so called Celebrity shows.

gracesgran I don't think people said they continue to watch programmes they don't like. They just listed the ones they think should be cancelled!

Sorry for the missing asterisks Feetlbaum Of course, I meant Mobile Army Surgical Hospital..... smacks own wrists and departs...... to watch M*A*S*H

Hear, hear Vampirequeen! ��!

Agree with your list, vampire. Just think how much good television could be in their slots.

...and after M*A*S*H (get the title right, people!) on True Entertainment (SKY 184) comes... The Avengers, which is still great fun after all these years.

I would be happy to see the following canceled:

Big Brother, and all similar unreality stuff.
Eastenders
Strictly Come Prancing
Any title beginning "The World's Worst..."
Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo
Any title beginning with "Celebrity..."
I'm a Celebrity Get Me the Out Of This Rotten Show

That would do for starters...

I, like others on here, cannot imagine why people would watch programmes they don't like. It must be pretty obvious that they are still being made because there are other people who do.

Of the OPs original list I like two and don't watch the other two. Find something else to do when a programme you don't like is on - it stops the grumbles.

Definitely agree re Frasier -fantastic scripts and such good characters. Can't miss Corrie or Holby! Citizen Khan doesn't stay on for 2 minutes in our house and I hate loathe and detest Mrs Browns boys! Back to the worst of the 70s!

MASH is on every evening at 7 on True Entertainment (184 for Sky subscribers). OH loves it and switches channels after the BBC News before the dreaded Alex and Matt start squawking on the One Show. It's double episodes and even if it's a repeat of only a few weeks ago(as sometimes happens) he still laughs his head off.I think he harbours a bit of a 'thing' for Hotlips

Have to put my hands up here to being 'in' to one US series....Big Bang Theory!.....can recite some of the old episodes word for word.

Quite right VQ. And all the daytime property and moving abroad programmes.

Hands off 'enders!

Yes, meant to mention Frasier, very funny and clever (apart from the British characters...!).

Coronation Street can certainly NOT be binned!

So many I agree with here!
I do still watch Death in Paradise for my bit of winter sun and eye candy (did I really just say that?) but it is very formulaic and will they/won't they.

Got slightly mixed up in that previous post. Great as Cheers was, I meant that Mash was the greatest sit-com. I think there's probably a channel showing it somewhere or try Youtube. Possibly on Netflix too. I was also rather fond of Frasier.

Way to go VQ, I'm with you all the way.

No!

Get rid of Eastenders, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks, Doctors, Neighbours and any other soap I may have missed off the list.

Oh yes, Ana I loved ER and seeing George in his hey day was the icing on the cake.

New Tricks, Minder, Open All Hours and ruddy Three Musketeers can all go.
I read today there will be a new series of Lovejoy.

TriciaF where is Mash please ?? Incoming ......

Citizen Khan...it is dire. I've never managed to get through more than the first few minutes so do tell me if it improves as it goes on.

I still miss ER.

Really sorry to see the end of Foyle's War.

I like Call the Midwife and Death in Paradise-I have never seen the other 2.
Also still love Downton even though it is like a soap.

Agreed, TriciaF. Cheers, for me, was the greatest sit-com ever! And could I please put the case for quietly burying Midsomer Murders? Surely they must be running out of bodies!
