What words do you use to describe, a book, TV series or film franchise
that is no longer entertaining to you ?
By that I mean it has neither "Jumped the Shark" or "Nuked the Fridge"
but rather it has gone at least one book or episode to many,
if not an entire series or season to many.

1. Running on empty.
2. One foot in the grave.
3. Sinking fast.
4. Over the hill.
5. Going through the motions.
6. One toke over the line.
7. Run out of steam.
8. Long in the tooth.
9. Down wind from a skunk.
10. Other, your choice.

What is your opinion of the new science fiction TV channel,
Chiller *Scary Good* (its official tag-line)

Just when you thought the SyFy channel could not get any worse
along comes a True Paragon of Mediocre, Chiller, to replace it.

Too many slashers for me, but now and again it has something watchable.
