:Here's something that I've always wondered about - okay, you don't
:like the show anymore, I can get that...but why is it never "eh, it's
:not good anymore" instead of OMG CANCEL IT MAKE IT END DIE DIE DIE?

Plenty of people - myself included - have wanted the latter to happen, 
and have said so in this group many times.

:Why not just, you know, not watch it anymore? 

(in my case at least) Having watched the show (including the Tracy 
Ullman Show) since the beginning, it's a hard habit to break. Not to 
mention a fair amount of curiosity about what the new eps are like...


:If it were 10 years ago
:I could understand wanting the show to end so it could "go out with
:dignity"...but the chances of that have been gone for years.

:So why does this type of person want so desperately to see the show
:end altogether at this point?

See above. It's just sad to see such a great show that I loved so much 
decline so badly. It's like watching Ghandi doing infomercials for 
Halliburton. I'd rather it just ended.

There is only a superficial resemblance to the first ten or so seasons.
Not just in the writing, but visually and aurally. That great comedic 
timing is long gone. Those are/were very significant traits which I 
loved so much about the show.
