Every time I hear that it’s being renewed for another handful of seasons I always wonder why.

I was also surprised to find both Family Guy and American Dad both continuing seeing as Family Guy was canceled once and I didn’t think anyone watched American Dad to begin with.

When it started out it had its charms, but things really started going off the rails around season 6. Seasons 7-8 are when it started doing more absurd fantasy and season 9 was downright bonkers (although I am glad that Jim Varney got a few episodes of non-Ernest work to showcase his skills before he died). Cronin’s “syndication bounce” likely explained how it got renewed over a decade later for a 10th season, and of course Barr’s big mouth got her fired.

I still am amazed that “LAST MAN STANDING” not only ran 9 seasons, but survived the network-swapping gambit better than most shows (which usually last only one more season after switching networks). I know the ratings were good for both networks (especially Fox, which has a lower threshold), but aside for the conservative rallying regarding its original cancellation, or Tim Allen’s political beliefs, I never heard anything about the show beyond it being generic sitcom schmaltz.

And while I know the ratings rocked, the fact that TWO & A HALF MEN made it 12 seasons, including 4 (as in a third of the show’s run) without co-star Charlie Sheen is pretty amazing.

I know the network had buyers’ remorse after they extended the show, but the last two years were horrible. The cast deserved better writing.

My official nomination is Roseanne. It was pretty entertaining those first years, but man, those last 4 or 5 years SUCKED. Writing wanted to SHOCK instead of tickle the ol’ funnybone.
