Television shows we hate

The Simpsons lost whatever "spark" was responsible for the tone of seasons 4-9 (or wherever the "sweet spot" was), and the show became less and less funny as it went on. With South Park, either I have just completely grown out of it, or Matt and Trey are just not trying anymore. I can't tell. They have always stuck to one of several templates, but lately it has been really, really egregious. Season 10 (with a couple exceptions in the latter half) was lousy, season 11 was worthless, so far season 12 has been another set of South Park mad libs (fill in terrible deed by Cartman/pop culture figure/all adults do something completely irrational as if it was commonplace/boilerplate moral or conclusion that every issue has multiple sides).

After Team America Matt and Trey essentially said they were too tired and uninspired to work anymore, and yet they signed on to do up to season 12 of South Park, so that might explain why it's not as good as it used to be. So if they took a break for a year or three and came back I'm sure they might start being great again, but that's my opinion. Mind you I haven't seen season all of season 11 but the stuff I have seen is hit-or-miss.

I think South Park started out as a flaming pile of crap and then slowly evolved into something that was still really hit or miss. Regardless, I've never felt that consistency was one of its virtues.

People like Karen O so much because she is in a pretty neat band, dresses well, and it is fun to watch her drink two beers at once while still trying to sing a song.
Sandra Oh, on the other hand...

That's not hard to do, considering they haven't had any new episodes since the writer's strike occured and ended. They decided to just leave the season as is rather than rush out a few episodes to make the last few weeks of the interrupted season.

Oh I thought they just went and continued on with new episodes since the strike ended. Shows what I know.

Smash Lab - Gah, I hate that show, but I try. The one episode I made it throughh, was this one where they were going to try to stop a runaway vehicle with a trailer attached with rockets. I lost all respect for them when their technician screwed up and ignited the huge missiles in the proximity of two people. They could have been killed. That is just like this show, rushed to the point where the reason for doing something means nothing.
Family Guy - Ask me 4 years ago what the best cartoon on tv was, Family guy. Ask me today and I'll say it's worse that Ben 10. If you don't know what Ben 10 is your in luck.
In defense of Southpark. I mean, it's what, 11 seasons now. Its definately not as riotously funny as it was when I was... what, 15ish and watching it over AOL Dialup 28kish. I think Southpark has turned into a very funny new creation. When was the last time you laughed at the southpark kids calling cartman a **** ****** ******! I mean, society as a whole just thinks thats normal now and so SP has been forced to change, for better or worse. At least they still have the original writers, unlike some 11+ season runnin shows.
