The Put Me Out Of This Misery Award: Call for considerations

by Bob Sassone, posted May 20th 2008 2:20PM

tv squad awardsThis award is for the show that was renewed for this fall that, damn it, should just be canceled already!

I'm sure when everyone read that line the first show that snapped into their heads was ABC's According To Jim, so I'm sure that's definitely going to be one of the nominees. Other shows I can think of putting in this category are NBC's Law and Order (please, the "ripped from the headlines" is used so much now it's almost like a parody of itself), NBC's The Apprentice (whenever a reality show goes to celebrity editions you know it's time to hang it up), NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly (really, this has to be one of the "who cares" shows on TV right now), and ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos (how many times can we see a dad hit in the balls?). I also thought of putting ER on the list but, since this fall is definitely the last season, it's at the bottom of the list for possible contenders.

What primetime shows do you think should be nominated? Maybe one of the CSI shows? I'm sure SNL will get some votes, though I don't agree.

I gotta go with American Idol as well, its so overblow, overhyped, and from what I hear, has really diminished in singing quality and skills over the years, so all in all, AI should be done.

And, I don't know why more people haven't said Prison Break, don't get me wrong, I used to really like PB, but it has really gone downhill, so that is my number one candidate.

I'd have to say Shot of Love with Tila Tequilla, Flavor of Love, The Apprentice, CSI Miami, and Desperate Houswives.
