    Is that still going ? Actually 24 years wiki says but I think they had a few years off… Jesus… had a few funny moments but all a bit of a rehash.

    Post Season 9 or so of The Simpsons.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    This is definitely a contender. I remember sitting down expecting it to be amazing because people were saying it would be the Irish That 70's Show or Friends.. 🤐

    started in 1989

    so 33 years. 732 episodes I’m reading…

    Matt Groening I think is determined to keep making them.

    a VERY significant cash cow for all involved… network, studio, animators, voice actors, producers…… probably thought best to keep an average product on the go, making millions…

    groening himself is believed to be worth north of 500 million. Don’t forget Futurama was and is a majorly successful cash cow plus his other lesser known endeavours.

    Futurama was amazing. Some of the later episodes may not have been as good but it wasn't a cash cow. It also got a proper ending.

    The Simpsons literally became what it was supposed to be parodying.

    Reality TV shows are one thing I can not stand in the least. almost every single person on those shows acts and reads scripts which go completely against what reality is meant to be. Dance Moms stateside is one and the less I say about '100 first dates' the better.

    I wouldn't count it as a show, per se, but it is a holy show, though.

    There are many, but Talk About presented by Alan Hughes on RTE back in the 1990's was particularly bad.

    I would have to agree here... At his best on Radio, Ryan was really good, but he could never get TV right. He just didn't look comfortable and confident on camera. I am sure that his several TV outings were negotiated contract aspects that allowed him to try it out, but despite the format formula used, it never worked. Even 'School around the corner' flopped and that should have been a mine of good material, if performed correctly.

    Some good Radio people should never be let near TV. Gerry Ryan was one of those.

    Some of the agricultural shows like ear to the ground and bbc countryfile these days are absolutely rubbish compared to what they could or used to be

    but love island is the winner by some margin for me anyway

    I’ve already mentioned Deal or no Deal but I’m gonna throw in Tipping Point too. Any “quiz” or game show where the participants are rewarded for no skill. I’ve actually seen an episode where they asked what the capital of France was ffs.


    Bring back The Krypton Factor…a show where there was a good chance you’d be leaving with a broken limb.

    I agree, loved and still love Futurama but I think that got canned because of arguments and scheduling rows if my memory is correct.

    the Simpsons has really put a slight tarnish on what it’s overall legacy was and is….know when enough is enough.

    Any of those scripted 'reality' shows. Especially ones with the word 'Love' in the title.

    A toss between Mrs Brown's Boys ..... or Big Brother ..... or Love Island ..... the fact they are beyond awful is one thing but their genuine popularity with some is far more scary ...

    The Mrs Brown spinoff All Round to Mrs Brown's too ... not that it is really that different to Mrs Brown's Boys ... these 2 shows were the only TV shows I ever fell out with a friend over .... some people genuinely love Mrs Brown ... which is fine if they feel that way ... but expect everyone else to feel the same/watch it with them ... which is not fine !!

    For me (and yes I know of Charlie birds terrible health difficulties but I have to be honest) the travel shows featuring Charlie especially the one following Tom Creans footsteps have to be up there, the shows became about the host where the ego was allowed to take over and the travel aspect was lost... What a waste

    +that eegit Hector buck leppin around the place and gurning at the camera with his oul lookatmeimmightycraic stich in his travel offerings has to get an honourable mention for the same reasons, he has a new one out now... Again what a waste

    As awful as it is, I do like Mrs. Brown's Boys. I found the All Round show unwatchable though.
