Grey's Anatomy. Had a gf like 12 years ago that watched it and couldn't believe it was still on

American Dad has been on for 14 years? :patrice:

ABC's gonna ride Grey's til the wheels fall off. Medical dramas in general tend to be repetitive cause there's only so many unique situations you can come up with before you need to pull the plug. But that bomb episode was a classic :wow:


American Dad actually grew on me to the point where I like it more than Family Guy :yeshrug: It was running its course on FOX but it has a new energy about it on TBS since they have more leeway in terms of what they can do. I'm low key interested on the type of storylines they have under a Trump presidency.

The Simpsons.

GOAT-level show in its prime. But it's been more than a decade since I've sat down on a Sunday night to catch a new one. Many proclaimed it fell way off to trash status at one point. Then I think it got good again. I have no clue where it stands now.

It just keeps going, and going, and going....

American Dad is one, though it hasn't been the same since moving to TBS.
Your right, It got even better since moving to TBS.
The Big Bang Theory. I cannot for the life of me understand why that show is so popular.

Most of the shows mentioned still get big ratings so I'm not surprised they still last. Especially comedies, animation and cop shows, those shows have a certain formula that people who just want to turn their brain off after work gravitate to. Hence why HBO and Showtime focus on Sunday night.

Shows like Prison Break or Point of Interest surprise me because they seem more like mini-series concepts not 5 seasons worth.

There's no way these 2 weren't participating in the raunchiest of orgies every weekend to keep this show in the air.
That show is trash. Watched the first 2 episodes. Would've bet it wouldn't make it past the first season
