What are shows you think have outlived their welcome?
NCIS is on my list.

How dare you.Riverdale, though that show was so insane at the beginning, I'm not sure it matters.
It would have been on mine too but mercifully, this is its final season. Same with Better Call Saul. Not that that one's bad, quite the opposite in fact. I was just afraid of it overstaying its welcome.The Walking Dead is also on my list.
I'm quite concerned for Julie. Fans have noted the decline of her voice over the last 15 years.The Simpsons - I haven't really watched it in years but for the sake of poor Julie Kavner's voice, please just let it end already.
Family Guy - Even Seth Macfarlane wants it to be cancelled at this point.
Grey's Anatomy - I don't actually watch this but enough is enough.
The Goldbergs - I do watch this one. Not that it's a bad show, it's just run its course.

I think Adam is a senior in high school in the newest season. If they really try to make it last through him going to college it'll really be stretching it out.I'm quite concerned for Julie. Fans have noted the decline of her voice over the last 15 years.
The Goldbergs used to be one of my favorite shows when it first started, but then once the oldest goes to college the show really starts its downhill trajectory.
This is where they need to pull a That's 70's Show. Another show that needs to go to bed is probably SVU. I'm sorry once Olivia becomes the commanding officer of a whole unit, I can't take it seriously. But then again I gave up on the show once it turned into Stabler and Benson soap opera hour.I think Adam is a senior in high school in the newest season.

Rollins' gambling addiction was a good way to differentiate her from Liv, but then they just tread on old ground. Then again sexual assault happens more frequently than reported.When you get to the point of introducing a discount version of the duo you’ve watched for over a decade and a half and recycle their characters arcs, the male cop with marital issues and the female cop being sexually assaulted, and not as good, you’re way past the point of creative bankruptcy.
The Flash. It has hardly risen past the highs of the first three seasons, and continues to gradually degrade over time. I’ve given this show so many chances to redeem itself, for every subsequent season to correct the mistakes of the past season, and they have all s**t the bed, especially this most recent season. Pretty good premiere, slowly meanders in the middle, maybe a bit of good toward the end, and then finishes out kind of weak. It’s really bad when other better quality CW superhero shows, like Superman and Lois and Stargirl, with better writing, pacing, visuals and vfx, and only 13-15 episodes without all the extraneous filler and fat, exist to compare it to.
Unless this next season decides to change its stagnant formula, cut the number of episodes down to no more than 13, get better cameras and make better use of its VFX, consider my interest officially gone. Season 8 should be it’s last.
The Flash is still ongoing!?!The Flash
Legends of Tomorrow

Even Stargirl?All the CW superhero shows
Even Stargirl?
Why is it so hard to find these two on HBO Max. They're really buried and the search brings up other results.Yeah, as much as I don’t like the CW shows as they currently are, Stargirl and Superman and Lois are actually good.
Even Stargirl?
Don't worry when CW's ratings crater and blame those two shows they'll be shipped away to there.I think they should bring that and S&L to HBO Max and scrap the rest of the superhero shows on CW
