2 SpongeBob SquarePants

It's been for already almost 20-25 years and the seasons are getting worse so I heard, must die for humanity's sake.

3 Scooby Doo

O.k. Don't tell me they haven't remade the show like 8 times. And would they stop with the movies!? Oh come on! Last time it was a cross over with kiss!

4 Pokemon Pokémon, abbreviated from the Japanese title of Pocket Monsters and currently advertised in English as Pokémon: The Series, is a Japanese anime television series, which has been adapted for the international television markets.

6 Mean Girls

One was enough

7 Star Wars
8 Alpha and Omega
9 Barbie
10 Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is a Japanese anime television series directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, with screenplay written by Masaki Tsuzuki, and produced by Seven Arcs.

As much I love the Nanoha franchise, I still think that it should've ended on StrikerS. I mean, ViVid and Force both didn't need to exist at all. However, the movies have been amazing so far, ViVid Strike! was surprisingly decent, and I can't wait for whatever they're going to announce at Lyrical Live January of next year.

The Contenders
11 Spy Kids
12 Teen Titans Go! 'Teen Titans Go!' is an American animated television series produced by Cartoon Network.

This show is Cartoon Network's revival of the popular 2003-2006 American animated television show, 'Teen Titans'.
13 The Lion King

Yah. I heard about the new lion guard movie. My big sister's going to be most effected.

14 The Price is Right
15 NCIS NCIS is an American action police procedural television series, revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
16 Wreck-it Ralph

The sequel to this and many other Disney movies nowadays should never have happened. Personally, the last good sequel is Finding Nemo 2.

Hate that its characters are being used for Disney's answer to "The Emoji Movie"

22 Criminal Minds Criminal Minds is an American police procedural crime drama television series created by Jeff Davis, and is the original show in the Criminal Minds franchise.
23 Harry Potter

We got a prequel series (Fantastic Beasts) and it's really a matter of when, not if, Cursed Child makes it to celluloid.

24 The Lego Movie

Sequel centerd around sexism. Good God, Zootopia, look what you started!

25 Marvel Cinematic Universe

Should've honestly ended on Avengers: Endgame like it was originally meant to.
