Andy Dehnart of MSNBC wrote today his top 5 shows (in Poll, above) that should be canceled. While I agree that there are some shows that should actually have an end to their story (I'm talking to you, Prison Break), I think canceling The Simpsons is a ridiculous idea. In fact, while I don't like several of the shows, I don't think any of them should be canceled since they still bring in advertising dollars and viewers.

Thoughts?

There's only one show that I think should be cancelled and that's my super sweet sixteen on MTV.  Watching those people get everything they want and not even be grateful for it makes me really really mad

The Simpsons should have been cancelled many seasons ago. It has not been funny for a long time. I started watching episodes from earlier seasons and I found them so much more funny (mainly because I get a lot more jokes now because I am a lot older). Most of the shows on MTV should be cancelled because of how stupid they are and also because it is the same garbage, just with a new cast. Prison Break continues to be a cool series, although I do not know how much more they can stretch out that series.

Of those, probably CSI: NY.  How many CSIs do we really need?  The rest of them have been on long enough or are good enough that they should go out on their own terms.

Good list. I think all the CSI shows and Law and Order shows should be canned. Painkiller Jane should be canned along with the Dresden Files. Mind of Mencia, I mean how in the hell did he get a third season? Seriously?

Any and all spin-offs. The Simpsons hasn't been funny since Conan left. It jumped the sharked ages ago, time to give it a rest and stop milking a franchise. Before long it will become watered down, and leave a foul taste in peoples mouths.

Oh yeah that. XD Lol~ The song in the beginning or end is so funny. I don't see a point in that show. They're like saying "I'm the best" and think they rule because of their parent's money.

 Ah well, I don't watch TV anyway, not much. I quite like Lost and the simpsons is good to watch at times. I hate CSI, I don't know why, so I'll choose that.

None of those. These three shows need to get off the airwaves:

Codename: Kids Next Door: My god, this show is just awful. Juvenile crap joke after juvenile crap joke.

Drawn Together: It was funny at first, but then it just became the above. Just replace juvenile with crude.

Mind of Mencia: I'm surprised Don Imus can't get away with a racial slur, yet in one skit, Carlos Mencia can include a ministrel character, a Jewish stereotype who picks up coins that are dropped, and an Asian stereotype. If this show were to become popular, America would be set back about 60 years and become Germany (60 years ago, keep that in mind).

I don't know, man. The Simpsons is a funny show. Most tv shows should be canceled, though. My Sweet 16, soap operas.

If it weren't for cartoons via television, I might be ignorant of martial arts and of the goal to attain through them.

I'm happy to let the market decide when a show has gotten too long in the tooth. I don't feel obligated to watch shows I don't like and obviously long-running shows are still getting watched (since viewers -> advertising $$$ -> renewal) and I feel no need to tell other people that they can't watch a show.

Although I don't like ER, why cancel that one? Get rid of Grey's Anatomy, and other shows like it. American Idol should also be cancelled. It should have been cancelled after the first season.

Kids Next Door and Drawn Together: I don't think they're on the air anymore except in reruns, maybe.

Mind of Mencia: I think the reasons this show hasn't recived flak yet is beacuse It's on cable which you have to pay for to watch.  Imus was on the radio, and was free

They should cancel Mencia because not so much of the racial humor, but because it's the same thing over and over again.  There's more to comedy than racial humor, if he actually took the time to write his own material, he would know that.

No, they still make new episodes of those. This is just their mid-season rest period. And I don't care if he's on cable, he's setting America back. Seriously, he actually had every racial stereotype in the opening sequence. What a nice way to start off a show. Dave Chappelle is funnier, and he actually gave a damn as to whether or not his material was racist.

American Idol. It's mildly funny in the auditions part, but after that it sucks.

 Actually, all reality TV shows should be canceled.

The show has really redeemed itself over the past two weeks. In fact, 24 is one of only two shows I still watch consistently (Scrubs is the other).

24 should get cancelled and Dr. Phil should take up the time slots. It's always great to laugh at people because of their problems :)

The majority of shows on NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox should be cancelled.

I really wish they'd just let the gawdamn Simpsons die.   The new episodes are painful to watch.   It's a pity because the show used to be the best show around, now it's absolute horse s***.
