Doctor Who could abuse the loophole of claiming each Doctor has his own series. shifty eyes

You're not wrong, but it's still the same brand name with canonical elements spanning like 60 years.

Doctor Who sucks these days tbh. Been downhill ever since Bill. IMO.

by Best_Tear6155 3 months ago

To be fair, Doctor who did have that MASSIVE gap between series before it was revived. I agree though- most long running shows have their ups and downs. Granted, things like the Simpsons and Ameican Dad could've wrapped up a whiles ago, but saying no show can be long running and still be good isn't fai.

Honestly having 5 great seasons is a rarity

Oh right I forgot about South Park, my bad. I would say South Park is the exception to the rule.

South Park keeps getting better and we're on like season 25 something.

I agree especially when they take out the main character. Walking dead for example, once Rick was gone the show was essentially over and I am not sure how people continued to watch it.

How do you suggest this to be enforced?

The network not picking up more seasons or the contracts legally only going up to 10 years

I like this idea! And hefty fines or even jailtime for networks that doesn't bend the knee.

Some people think, if they don't like something anymore, than nobody likes it anymore.

I mean, Doctor Who has been around over 60 years and had 875 episodes over 39 seasons. Yeah it has its ups and downs but it's still generally pretty good.

To be fair, who had that MASSIVE pause in-between series that lasted until the 2000s when it was revived.

by Anonymous 3 months ago

Oh, I agree that its good. Just that there was a pretty big gap of seasons for fresh writers to come in and for the series to recover from any burnout it was facing.

Greys Anatomy is a decent show. Medical dramas were never my thing, but I admit that they kept a decent degree of quality throughout it.

Depends really some of my favourite guilty pleasure shows are that long like small ville,shameless, and supernatural, all shows that has fairly bad aspects in most seasons but also some good ones as well most seasons.

Star wars the clone wars was definitely cut short with 7 seasons and could have handled another 5. Apart from that all the old schoolers are pretty well doing Simpsons Family guy etc etc
