Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?

I often wonder who's still watching it. Like obviously someone is, because it's doing well enough to keep getting renewed. But what's the demographic? I don't know many young people, but I'd assume they're not watching it. Certainly nobody in my age range ever talks about it (or if they do, then they just say what the people in this thread are saying - it used to be great, haven't watched it in years), and I don't know of anyone in the boomer/parent age group who ever talks about it.

Of course, just because nobody I know watches it doesn't mean nobody at all is watching it. But just like... who are they?

I watch it during lunch sometimes and have kept up with every episode so far. Its not what it was of course back in the day, but I largely use it as semi- background while eating lunch, knowing that if I have to cut things short or divert my attention it won't matter.
