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

Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

Chuck. It was on air at the same time as Better Off Ted, which was a fantastic show. IIRC, two seasons into Better Off Ted, the network had to choose between the two shows, and they chose to keep Chuck running. We were robbed.

But how would NBC's decision to renew Chuck impact ABC's decision to cancel Better Off Ted?

I still agree with you, however, in that Chuck (as much as I enjoyed it) probably should have ended after season 4, and Better Off Ted was still in it's prime and could have lasted a couple more seasons.
