"Sometimes, shows get canceled before their time, or they end on a high note. These shows should have ended way before their networks finally pulled the plug. "Stranger Things" lasted five seasons across nine years, and we'd argue the payoff wasn't enough. For every show that we've mourned getting canceled prematurely, there are others chugging along on season eight that have become unwatchable."
"We've compiled a list of 35 shows that didn't need to last as long as they did, whether that's because they should've stayed a limited series, the writers were running out of ideas, or simply because it took too long for the show to come out. Here are 35 shows that we think overstayed their welcome."
Thirty-five television shows are identified as having overstayed their welcome. Reasons include premature cancellations, shows continuing past peak quality, limited-series plans being extended, writer exhaustion, and long production delays. "Stranger Things" lasted five seasons over nine years with an underwhelming payoff. Some programs should have ended earlier or remained limited. Others dragged into additional seasons that became unwatchable. Many shows lost creative momentum as writers recycled plotlines or stretched premises. Production gaps and irregular release schedules diluted momentum and audience interest.
