One of the reasons binge-watching is great is because we have so much good
TV out there. It's easy to lose yourself in a really awesome series.
But even some stellar shows go on way too long, and end up alienating their biggest fans. We hit Reddit to round up the list of TV shows that should have ended before they got bad!
1
That 70’s Show…so good until the last season when Foreman left the show. I wish they just cut it the season before. Still one of my favorite tv shows
2
Riverdale. Bro, it's just adults with a mid-life crisis right now

4
Once Upon a Time. The first season is magical. I've re-watched the first season several times with my wife. Everything after just starts sucking more and more.
5
Heroes. Should have ended have after season 1. Or they should have taken a break during the writer’s strike. Heroes never recovered.
6
Arrested Development. For me, the writing was so witty and hilarious in the early seasons, but after Netflix bought it, it just became slapstick and cheesy
7
X-Files. Without Mulder just wasn't X-Files.
8
Pretty Little Liars. The show in general is bad but it kept getting progressively worse as the seasons went on. They literally forgot about having a plot
9
Greys Anatomy. I had to stop watching it when Izzie had sex with Denny's ghost. I really liked it up until that whole plot.
10
Glee. Just end it with the kids graduating and we’d be proud.
11
Arrow. But the first 3 seasons or so were f*cking amazing.
12
Weeds. It was a fun show, but the last season really didn't even need to happen.
13
The Fairly Odd Parents. It was such a great show with so many good episodes till the point where it become another way of easy money for Nickelodeon to ruin it
14
Sliders. It’s an old one, but I loved it, and the last season was a travesty.
15
Designated Survivor had a really interesting premise, but that premise goes away after the first season, and then it's just a mish-mash of bad political drama crossed with the dumbest f*cking FBI agent ever.
16
The 100. It should have ended when they left earth and started the voyage to a new planet. That would have been a perfect finale. Everything that followed was just unnecessary and dragged out.
17
Ben 10 should’ve ended with Omniverse just to prevent the reboot from happening
18
Happy Days. The last few seasons hurt to watch. That show really jumped the shark
19
The Flash. Great couple of seasons, even with the wonky CGI. It just went downhill faster than the...well you know.
20
Northern Exposure. The episode where Joel finds the mastodon/wooly mammoth and realizes he’s now a local is a decent ending compared to that final season.
21
True Blood. I only hung on for Alexander Skarsgård.
22
The Walking Dead. I used to love that show, but it started to get ridiculous. I bailed after the Terminus plotline ended -- I couldn't stand the flipflopping with Rick's character.Wondered if I was missing out, but then I saw a teaser of Daryl shooting somebody with what appeared to be some kind of shoulder-mounted RPG launcher, and I figured I'd made the right choice.
23
Dexter. Season 4 would have been the high note. John Lithgow was phenomenal
24
Chuck. It was about a dude who ‘accidentally’ received a spy training hypnotism thing and had to become a spy (it makes no sense, so don’t worry if you can’t follow it).Anyway, it was going pretty ok. Eventually, he got with his love interest and the writers started panicking. They made the ending disappointing and sad because they wrote themselves out of anything better.
25
Roseanne. The last couple of seasons were absolute trash with the lottery, Dan dying, and all that. Such garbage. Ruined a great show.
26
Supernatural was basically trying to find new ways to stack sharks to jump
