Looking where Scrubs is now, it would make sence for one, maybe two more seasons. It's hitting the point where the story is winding down.
Also, there are three CSIs. Las Vegas (The Good one) New York (the OK one) and Miami (the crap one).

Once they canned Arrested, and House lost all the sidekick doctors, TV lost its appeal to me. Reality shows are crap and they're infesting the airwaves, and all the good cartoons are gone or got turned into anime... Oh well... At least I have The Simpsons. Right? Right.....? :*(
Futurama's coming back, and there's always South Park. I'm kinda getting into Burn Notice too, thanks to the almighty Bruce Campbell. But even shows like Family Guy jumped the shark. TV ain't what it used to be.

TV ain't what it used to be. Since when did Family Guy jump the shark? They are doing better than ever. Also, Scrubs is getting worse. It used to have a "moral" or something that related to every characters story...now it doesn't. And I hear Zach Braff is an a**hole in real life. His head is getting bigger and sooner or later his career won't. |

Otherwise the "summing up" voiceovers at the end of each episode wouldn't make any sense. And Zach Braff isn't that bad. Unlike most Hollywood stars, he actually talks directly to his fans through stuff like his MySpace account. I know somebody who talked to him, and she said he was very nice. And a lot like JD, too. Also, he apparently loves Donkey Kong. ;D |

Well, that's good to hear. But I heard it though when he was going out with Mandy Moore, she apparently said he wasn't very nice. I don't really know what to believe.  |

Kirbychu>Mandy Moore
Family Guy is losing it a little. I can't tell what, but something is missing from earlier episodes.

Course she's gonna say that. |

Family Guy had a fantastic first run. The show was clever, witty, and even once in a while pulled out a Simpsons level intellectual joke or two.
Then it was revived on Adult Swim, a bunch of stoners and college kids started watching it regularly (because Fox royally raped the show by switching its airtime constantly when it was on network TV), and Seth MacFarlane's ego grew ten sizes.
Suffice to say, it's not the same show it used to be. Fox picked it up again and it just became this disgusting reference fest with no real humor. Sure, I chuckle when Peter farts or Stewie hits his head, but what happened to the dry humor? The wit that made the show funny to me in the first place? The whole reason I bothered to shell out 40 bucks a DVD set?!
Bah... It's crap. Utter crap. At least Simpsons still has a loveable cast.

Horatio Cain is the man. NY is utter crap, and you're the first person I've ever seen to say it isn't. EVER! For a start, the main guy is Lieutenant Daaaayaaan from Forrest Gump... |

My Name is Early is a cruddy ripoff of Arrested Development. THAT was a show that never got its due. Wh-wh-what? How? Arrested Development is the best show of this millennium... but how is it at all like My Name is Earl? I don't see it, at all. |

My Name is Earl is a pretty good show. So is The Office (US and UK).

When the show first came out, that's all NBC and the critics ever said |

Bah... It's crap. Utter crap. At least Simpsons still has a loveable cast. This is the problem I had with the show... Family Guy really made me laugh, but I didn't care about the family. In fact, I found Meg and Chris to be extremely boring and irritating. The Simpsons may not make me laugh as much any more, but I still care about that family. They feel more like real people to me. Though... I didn't like Lisa in the first couple of seasons, when she was acting like she was middle-aged.  |

Though... I didn't like Lisa in the first couple of seasons, when she was acting like she was middle-aged. Y'know, I feel the same way too. I never really thought of it that way, but the characters in Family Guy are really one-dimensional. Peter's predictably stupid, Lois is either mean or a slut, Brian is crazy liberal, Stewie's either flamboyant or evil, Meg is always boring and ugly, and Chris is dumb. The peripheral characters are all one-liners and thinly veiled jokes about race, religion, and gender. I do like Peter's friends, but only because they actually bothered (and this makes me sound really shallow) to make them diverse. But even then they too are one-dimensional. The Simpsons, on the other hand, has developed their characters immensely. Homer has so many facets of his personality, and there's been many episodes where Bart, Marge, Lisa, and even Maggie learn lessons and change (esp. Lisa). I can invest so much more in their stories because, well... they're real people. Family Guy feels like a string of dirty jokes like you'd get on an internet Flash cartoon, while Simpsons feels like an actual sitcom just... animated. There's real stuff in there. Those animators and writers didn't go to Ivy League schools for nothin, y'know |
