The Put Me Out Of that distress Award: shout for considerations

This award is for the show that was renewed for that fall that, damn it, should just be canceled already!

I’m certain when everyone read that line the first show that snapped into their heads was ABC’s According To Jim, so I’m certain that’s definitely going to be one of the nominees. Other shows I can think of putting in that category are NBC’s Law and Order (please, the “ripped from the headlines” is used so much now it’s nearly like a parody of itself), NBC’s The Apprentice (whenever a reality show goes to celebrity editions you know it’s date to hang it up),

NBC’s Last sign with Carson Daly (really, that has to be one of the “who cares” shows on TV right now), and ABC’s America’s Funniest domestic Videos (how many times can we see a dad hit in the balls?). I additionally thought of putting ER on the list but, since that fall is definitely the final season, it’s at the bottom of the list for possible contenders.

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