[housecarder]

Thought this would be fun to hear your thoughts on this:

[joy]

This poll is crap. It would not let me vote for axing "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" for every question.

I can't pick a sitcom. I love them all.

90210, because I'm sick of the reboots.

Prison Break, because I never watched it.

Jane the Virgin for the same reason ^

Desperate Housewives, because ick.

American Dad. Never liked that one.

Grey's. GREY'S. It needs to end.

The first two seasons of Prison Break were awesome. Watch them!!!

And then pretend it ends because the last two seasons are kinda dreadful.

Easy. There was at least one in every category that I wouldn't miss.

The only question that was tough for me was the last one where you needed to pick to keep ONE. In the end I picked Game of Thrones, but there were a few I wouldn't want to lose.

There were a few categories that I had never watched a few. Game of Thrones won out on the last question because I'm more invested in how that ends than any of the others.

Who the hell would choose to cancel Kimmy Schmidt?!?!

[TheEleventhHour]

Easy but only because there was at least one show in every category I have never seen.

jags8 I barely made it through the first episode of Kimmy Schmidt! Does it get better? I was excited for it and was shocked that I hated it ...

Well like any show, you get to know the characters. I thought it was really quite funny. DH and I still quote it.

Most of the ones people would ax were older shows. Me thinks there are a lot of teens on Buzzfeed...

Right?  They would axe ER?  Crazy teeny boppers.

[helloerrbody]

My answers: How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, Prison Break, Jane the Virgin, MASH, American Dad, Scrubs, Supernatural, The West Wing, Sherlock, Kardashians, 30 Rock

Almost all of those were chosen just because I haven't watched them and have watched all the other options on that question.

I keep trying to convince MH that we need to re-watch the whole season.

I totally would. And I only watched it about month ago. May have binge watched the whole thing in about 3 days...

Sometimes when one of us is being annoying we are called Keemmy. Cracks us up every time. LOVED the cameos in it towards the end of the season.

Also I agree with joy about the Kardashians. Ick. But remember NO ONE can do what Kim does 

Is this an old quiz? I feel like some of these shows aren't on TV anymore anyway (Nexflix excluded).

[TheEleventhHour]

Hmm, I think I will have to give Kimmy another try!

If I had to ax all the shows on the bottom and was only allowed to keep one I think I would keep House. I would love more episodes of House. I've watched Grey's from the beginning, but when it ends I'm not sure I'll miss it like I miss the early days.

And... Desperate Housewives is considered "relatively old school" and lumped in with Fresh Prince and MASH. That just doesn't seem right and makes me feel old.

I also kept House. I could watch that show every day.

And ditto to the desperate housewives thing. I don't consider those in the same category at all.

I love Sherlock, but they are just so slow to put new ones out. Definitely worth watching though.

I am a little worried someone is using this information to aid in the decisions to cancel/discontinue shows.

I remember hearing something about how buzzfeed sells this kind of info to 3rd parties to help them with marketing products or tailoring to trends.

Other thoughts:
-I was very pleased that the majority want to cancel the Kardashians. Why do we care?
-Prison Break was good but I agree with joy, just pretend it ends at season 2.
-Really? You'd be forced to watch only GoT or Breaking Bad forever? If I had to choose to have only one show to watch from here on out I'd pick Futurama. BB and GoT are just so intense and dark. But, maybe my current mental state is appreciating light comedy more.

I took it as they would just cancel the rest and all other shows would still be around.

That makes more sense.  Okay, put me back on the GoT wagon.  Bob's Burgers wasn't on the cancel list!

Yeah I don't think I could watch any one show for the rest of my life. I'd rather just give up TV.
