    What TV programmes do you reckon have gone stale or tired after being on the air for a good amount of time?

    I've read a lot of people say it hasn't been funny since season 9!

    The Simpsons has been passed its sell by date for a good twenty years now, twice as long as it was relevant!

    Unfortunately I'd say it's still a majority that want to keep it, if a poll and discussions I've seen on this are to be believed. Even after all the Catholic horror stories we've heard lately.
    I think people relate to it as part of their Irish identity or something and see getting rid of it as woke nonsense.

    A shame really because the earlier episodes were some of the best TV I've ever watched. The last 15 years have been garbage.

    Mrs. Brown's Boys, never left the starting block.

    Anything featuring Anna Geary, some glare off her gnashers.

    Perhaps we could replace the Angelus with the restoration of this.

    If you take out the ones that don't pay for the tv licence, OAPs, then I would think that the majority would be happy to see the back of it

    Have you seen The Angelus lately ?
    It's far more "reflective" than Catholic.

    It gets a listing in the official schedules so is therefore a programme.
