*MEDIOCRE* a Poll about Entertainment

[curmudgeon]

What words do you use to describe, a book, TV series or film franchise
that is no longer entertaining to you ?
By that I mean it has neither "Jumped the Shark" or "Nuked the Fridge"
but rather it has gone at least one book or episode to many,
if not an entire series or season to many.

1. Running on empty.
2. One foot in the grave.
3. Sinking fast.
4. Over the hill.
5. Going through the motions.
6. One toke over the line.
7. Run out of steam.
8. Long in the tooth.
9. Down wind from a skunk.
10. Other, your choice.

Already in syndication comes to mind.

Watching an hour or two of reruns every day (my wife is a tv junkee... I
pick it up second hand... like smoke)

If I watch too much of a good thing consistantly (bad shows in syndication
are even worse) while the show is still in production, I usually lose
interest in the reruns AND the new episodes.

Family Guy, M*A*S*H, Charmed, fall into that catagory (I know, there are
other shows that are in syndication and production, but I rarely see the
syndicated versions)

Then you have really bad shows, like WALKER: TEXAS RANGER. How did that show
stay on the air so long? Would YOU tell Chuck Norris that his show was
lousy?
