24 is now the latest television show to call time, after it announced at the weekend that its eighth series will be its last.

i'm not just being arsey cos its you right, but i could not disagree more.

When shows go on and on and on and on the writing becomes poor, storylines get dragged out and characters get boring.

A short sharp series is often the best, go out on a high whilst people still like it.

Look at shameless, 98 series in its now fooking gash.

Actually I reckon this series of Shameless is alot better than the last couple. Each to their own I suppose!

Shameless was best in the 1st 3 series.

Its more about the Mcguires now.

Fawlty Towers is the classic example of quitting at the very top. Two series, a total of 12 episodes, and it is still considered as a brilliant piece of television, over 30 years later.

As you can probably ell from my avatar,i am a big fan of 24, however this series has been slow and it is now getting a bit repetitive with yet another nuclear attack on America, even so, Jack is still quality.
