Every Wednesday Cuzoogle will feature The Seven which is a list of whatever we feel like. Submit your seven on whatever theme you want today and it will be posted in the coming weeks.

Now that the fall TV season is in full swing, the good is already starting to separate from the bad. Some of these shows make us wonder why they keep bringing them back. Well I mean we know that ratings, ad money etc. are the real reasons but does that mean they still good? Here are seven television shows that have lost it, or never had it (despite ratings) and should be taken off the air. (UPDATE: New episodes, reruns can live on forever)

1. Two and A Half Men - We at Cuzoogle are actually fans of the show but come on, when does it become Three Men already? The kid is no longer funny, cute or interesting and he is certainly not a half. They have run out of story lines that can revolve around Alan getting walked on, Charlie sleeping with every girl in town and the Mom snapping off witty one liners. If you want to watch a more cable version of Charlie Harper check out Californication, at least there are real boobs and not these three.

2. CSI (all of them) - Does anyone still watch these shows? They have all merged into one giant blunt force trama. Grissom is gone from the Vegas team so maybe, just maybe Laurence Fishburne can save it. They have to be running out of plot lines that seem interesting and not copied from the other series. The only thing keeping this legion of nerds on the air is there is nothing else to fill the 1000’s of hours it takes up.

3. American/Canadian Idol - Attack us all you want, these shows are absolute crap. No reason needed. The only thing worse than American Idol is the brutal knock off we have to watch up here in Canada.

4. That Jim Belushi Show - We don’t even know what it is called but it seems to never leave. Can anyone confirm that they have seen a full episode? Hard to believe that series has lasted when it could so easily be replaced by a reality show about sewing.

5. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - Okay before you get on us for being against the needy, we want to say at least the show gives back. Well at least until the families have to move out of the giant new house they just got because they can’t afford the mortgage. Watching Ty Pennington on that show makes us want to do something insane like throw the TV out the window. It is so over produced and so fake that it should be classified a drama and not a reality show.

6. Ugly Betty - Sure it gets a lot of high ratings and awards but the simple fact is we just don’t like it. No logical reason, it is not our cup of tea so to speak. It falls into that giant pit of shows trying to say it is ok to be ugly and to be yourself but it comes off as fake and insincere. Put a show on the air full of actual ugly people and see how long it lasts.

7. ER - Oh wait they finally got the hint and are pulling the plug this year. Finally after 37 cast changes they are ending it. We used to live for Thursday night’s and a full hour of ER but that ended several years ago and we had to look it up just to confirm it was still on the air. Doctor, please call that one.

Others in the running: Law and Order, The Bachelor, Private Practice and pretty much everything on Tuesday night.

Got a show you think needs to be removed from TV? Let us know.
