Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

Also, I found the depiction of the Indian guy funny at first but it quickly got racist and never got better, they just kept piling on the racism

Interesting. I didn’t like it for a very similar reason. Their depiction of nerds or geniuses or whatever you want to call them was pretty offensive. I could never get into it.

Edit: to be clear, I’m not saying that I’m a genius or even particularly intelligent. I’m not. But the barrage of stupid nerd stereotypes was just obnoxious and offensive.

To me it wasn’t that they were making fun of them because they were smart, it’s because they weren’t neurotypical. Several of them would be considered to have ASD if they lived in the real world and that’s treated as the butt of a joke. It disgusts me.
