SpongeBob
And not just because of the usual 'it's gone on too long' gripe either, but also because Nick is basically pissing on its creator's grave keeping it going long after his death, as I pointed out in an edit on my post, Nick should've just ended the series after Hillenberg died out of respect for the guy.
No, seriously! If Nickelodeon wasn't gonna grant Hillenberg's wish to have SpongeBob end after the 2004 movie (and really, they didn't care about that, they're Nickelodeon), they should have ended it when he passed.
They could have done one last big hurrah special in memorium of him, but then that's it.
And besides, Tim Kenny, I love the guy, but he is even saying it's getting harder for him to voice SpongeBob.
Even Nintendo and GameFreak/The Pokemon Co. care more about Pokemon, at least enough to finally retire Ash as the main character recently and bring someone new on as the lead.
But really, how Nick is treating Spongebob is as terrible as you can possibly get, like I said, they're pissing on Hillenberg's grave.
As for Family Guy, Seth McFarlane is basically begging for it to be canceled at this point with how sadistic and unfunny it's gotten from what people have said about the newer seasons of it post-Brian's revival.
