Top 10 TV Shows Killed By College

Posted by Ivy Sensation 07/30/2008 2:41 PM

Tags: Saved By The Bell, Dawsons Creek, Gilmore Girls, Beverly Hills 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Boy Meets World

We’ve seen it happen time and time again. Our favorite shows get the axe (or start to suck majorly) as soon as the characters head off to college. It seems that TV can’t do college. Here are some examples:

1) Boy Meets World
We all grew up with Cory, Shawn, Eric and Topanga. We even went with them to Pennbrook University. Unfortunately, that is where our beloved show took a turn for the worst.

2) Saved By The Bell: The College Years
The original show taught us everything we needed to know about high school. When the characters went to the fictional California University, however, the new version of the show crashed and burned.

3) Dawson’s Creek
Life at Capeside High School was full of drama and we were hooked. After the gang headed off to college, the juice dried up. When Dawson dropped out of USC, we knew that the show was done for.

4) Gilmore Girls
This show was smart and sassy so it was fitting for resident good-girl Rory to go to Yale. Once there though, there was nothing to blabber about and the show was taken off the air.

5) Veronica Mars
The high school days were what made this show such a breakout hit. As soon as Veronica Mars stepped foot on the campus of Hearst College, things went downhill, eventually leading the show to be cancelled.

6) Sabrina the Teenage Witch
This show made Friday nights magical. It was fun watching Sabrina go through high school trying not to use spells on the people who deserved them. When she went to college though, people stopped caring and the show promptly ended.

7) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Life at Sunnydale High was full of trials and tribulations. They made the show intriguing and like Sabrina, Buffy had a lot to hide. Life at UC Sunnydale, however, was not worth living and the show soon died.

8) Everwood
What set this show apart from the others was the fact that Ephram was supposed to go to Juilliard. His relationship with Amy got too complicated though, and by the time they both made up their minds about going to college, the show was already canned.

9) The O.C.
Admittedly, the O.C. was still pretty good even as Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer were preparing for college life. With acceptances into UC Berkeley and Brown University, it seemed life for them couldn’t be sweeter. However, the storyline got too messy and we simply didn’t want to keep up with it anymore.

10) Beverly Hills 90210
This might be the only show on the list that lasted, long after the characters went to college. Still the show was not what it had used to be and it was time to say goodbye long before the series finale.

Nobody wanted to see Gilmore Girls go, the writers (a married couple) just felt it couldn't end on a better note. Posted 07/30/2008 3:00 PMReply

(paraphrasing) "After Buffy went to college the show soon died"...three years later?

This is more 'a list of shows whose characters went to college and the show eventually ended' because for one Buffy was stopped (by Joss Whedon and co) rather than cancelled. Posted 07/30/2008 3:29 PMReply

Gilmore Girls ended AFTER Rory graduated from Yale, Buffy lasted 4 seasons after the Scooby gang graduated from Sunnydale High, and there was never a "Ben" on The OC (the character of Ryan was played by Ben McKenzie). Way to do your research. Posted 07/30/2008 5:06 PMReply

I disagree. Perhaps, for our generation, we stopped caring when they went to college. I honestly think it was simply because we couldn't relate. Most of us were still stuck in grade school when a lot of our favorite characters went off to college. But watching reruns of the college days now (Especially Boy Meets World and Dawson's Creek) I can really appreciate the final seasons. Posted 07/30/2008 10:18 PMReply

Wait... Buffy had three years in high school and four years in college, three of which were great seasons (4, 5, 7). Not sure how that qualifies as the show "soon" dying. Posted 07/31/2008 8:06 PMReply

I never missed an episode of Buffy, but season 4 (the first in college) killed it for me. It was just bad. Bad idea adding the military boyfriend, etc. Posted 07/31/2008 9:17 PMReply

I agree, the majority of the series happened after Buffy and Co. graduated High School (seasons 1-3 in HS, 4-7 after), and it was another two seasons before the show moved to UPN (for seasons 6-7).

Of the main characters only Buffy and Willow actually went to college, and Buffy was only there for season 4; after that they were just adults, and the show worked fine.

So no, Buffy didn't suck after they went to college; in fact, several critically acclaimed episodes happened after they went to college, such as season 4's 'Hush' (which was nominated for an Emmy for its use of the absence of human voices) and season 6's 'Once More With Feeling' (the musical episode, likewise nominated for an Emmy). @ HectorOTR: Posted 07/31/2008 9:26 PMReply

This list wasn't researched very well. Gilmore Girls continued for four more years with Rory at college, that's longer than she was seen in high school on the show. But, if by 'taken off the air' you mean 'continued for four more years'... that'd be fairly accurate. Same with Buffy, while college didn't continue to play a major part in the story-lines of later season, this show also went for another four years.

You guys are idiots. Posted 08/04/2008 3:01 PMReply

Uh...Gilmore girls was on until Rory graduated Yale, that happened in one of the finale episodes.
Did you miss a few seasons??

And Buffy, well she left college when her mother died, but the show was on for a 3 years after the show started the college episodes in Season 4.

Veronica Mars was not cancelled because they headed off to college. It was cancelled because the CW is run by douchebags. Posted 08/04/2008 3:22 PMReply

Veronica Mars was canceled because of low ratings, which was caused by the CW not promoting it at all and putting it up against American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Both of which I am not a fan of. Then The CW went and Put The Crappy Cat Dirt's Present on in Veronica Mars' time slot which was the nail in the coffin. Oh how sweet justice it was when due to low ratings that show did not survive after its second season. Veronica Mars was one of my all time favorite shows and its a shame we could not see more of good old Veronica. It is nice to see Kristen Bell on Heroes, and Enrico Colintone (totally spelling his last name wrong) on Flash Point. Posted 08/04/2008 4:04 PMReply

Agreed about Boy Meets World - especially because the BEST season of the show was their senior year (remember when corey kissed another girl on the ski trip and they broke up for most of the year, and then there was the "scream" episode that was really shawn's dream)

BUT SBTB The College Years creatively might not have been the strongest, you can't attribute the failure solely on the quality of the show. the ratings expectations were obviously much higher on network than they were on saturday morning. and how do you put that show on against full house????? come on!!! everyone was watching full house that would have watched sbtb if were on at ANY other time.

and to show you how little this person did their research. EVERWOOD wasn't canceled until after their freshman year in college. it was only hannah that was still deciding. and i agree that is the ONE MISTAKE in the entire series. she should have gone to note dame. and there was more to the reason that ephram didnt go to julliard than his relationship with amy. season four was fantastic.

Horrid list. Gilmore Girls ended because they all agreed that the show should end when Rory graduated. Buffy ended because Sarah Michelle Gellar wouldn't sign on for more seasons and because... Well, the show ended with Sunnydale. If you really didn't enjoy episodes like Hush(season 4), The Body(season 5), The Gift(season 5), Once More With Feeling(season 6), Chosen(season 7) and so on, you weren't really a Buffy fan to begin with. This list makes little to no sense and it seems you're just grasping at nonexistent straws. Posted 08/04/2008 6:36 PMReply

Who ever is responsible for this article should do their research. Veronica Mars was not cancelled because she went to college. It had been struggling in the ratings for a while. Buffy was really good during the college years. The only reason it went off the air was Sarah was done playing Buffy. Gilmore Girls was just as good and still did well in the ratings after Rory left for college. 90210 lasted a couple of years after they were already done with college. Who ever wrote this does not know their TV. This list is terrible. Posted 08/04/2008 7:52 PMReply

Buffy is considered one of the greatest shows on television. The 4th season had Hush and incredible episode. The 5th season had The Body. Which was also an incredible episode. The 6th season had the musical episode. And the 7th season had a few great episodes as well. Whoever wrote this list up didn't check their facts. Buffy went strong for a few years after they entered college. It didn't die because they went to college. Posted 08/04/2008 8:28 PMReply

Sorry, but you can remove Gilmore Girls from this list. Yes the show took on a different tone once Rory took off for Yale, but that tone resulted in a better show as it allowed her to grow up a bit more and not depend on Lorelai as much. I admit that the 7th season may be "crap," but seasons 4-6 are better than that with comedy and drama up the wazoo. Posted 08/04/2008 8:44 PMReply

This is...pretty funny. Yes, Buffy was canceled a season after college in season 4...but it was promptly picked up again and continued into season 7. Where it ended because Joss was DONE. College hardly killed Buffy, they were there for one season. We got some great arcs and growth out of it, even if season four is one of my least favorite seasons. But that has nothing to do with college and everything to do with the big bad. Season four even has Hush and Restless, two of the greatest episodes of television ever, IMO. And it was promptly followed by a gritty, real, awesome season five. And a season six. And a season seven. It's funny that on Beverly Hills you said it's the "only" show to continue after college, but Buffy did, too. Jesus.

I also disagree with most of this list, anyway. VM died because it couldn't ever get the ratings and because they could never follow seasons 1 and 2 in brilliance. Gilmore Girls went ALL the way through Rory's college years and ended when she graduated, as the creator had decided from the show's beginning. Dawson's Creek was always lame, going to college was just them growing up and being lame. It hardly got worse. (Side note: I love that show. It's still pretty lame, though xD). And while my favorite Boy Meets World episodes are in the later high school years, the college years were perfectly campy and fitting with the theme of the show. It also continued for three seasons of college until it's 7th season, which had a good ending and seven seasons is not shabby.

Pretty much have to completely disagree with those shows being on this list. Posted 08/04/2008 8:46 PMReply

You guys don't understand.... What happened on Gilmore Girls or Buffy doesn't matter. She needed ten shows. Ten is a magic number. You don't see Letterman with a top eight, do you? Seriously though, Buffy was fine until seasons six and seven; and even in those bad seasons there were a few really great eps; and even the bad eps were worth watching once.

WOW...shows killed by college! I agree with a few people on here that this list is stupid! Buffy is the greatest show of all time and people that don't get that - don't get or appreciate metaphorical writing.

Veronica Mars was a truly clever and well written show! And yes, it did go down hill after high school but that could be due to the time slot or the fact that it was a serial show and it was hard to pick up what was going on in the on-going season mystery if you missed an episode.

90210 was a great show due to the fact that it pioneered the teenage soap opera into what it is today. And yes, I did love it from beginning to end...when you love the characters - then who cares if they change the environment that the show is set in! Posted 08/05/2008 12:15 AMReply

Boy Meets World & Saved by the Bell was never show in Hungary, where I live, but the other 8 shows I watched, so IMO:

3. Dawson's Creek - you really got it, it sucked after the high school years

4. Gilmore Girls - you didn't got it at all, GG was still fantastic in it's 4th & 5th season when Rory was in Yale, I think it started to struggle in the second half of season 6, when the Lorelai - Luke relationship turned unhappy and that distroyed to whole lovable atmosphere that the show had, most of season 7 was awful with having Lorelia back to Christopher...

5. Veronica Mars - i didn't always watch the show, I wasn't all that keen on this one, but I think the late episodes were just as good as the early ones.

6. Sabrina... - actually I liked it youst because I was a child at that time, it was alaways poor for a comedy, but you ot it... it really got even worse when she was in college...

7. Buffy - I don't really think that leaving high school meant a thing in the Buffy universe. Yes, the show had it's meltdowns (season 4 & 6 not inclouding such great episodes as "Hush" or "One More with Feeling"), but I think that didn't have a thing to do with leaving high school

8. Everwood - well, once again leaving high school wasn't a big deal in this one. Season 3 was a bit worse that the fantastic 1st, 2nd & 4th season, but this show is an all-time-hit for me, and it was canceled simple becuase TheCW managers didn't think that Everwood fitted into the style of the new network, eventhough it was a well-rated (well-rated on the level of not so rated TheWB) and popular show on TheWB.

9. The O.C. - I think the show started to go downhill right after the first season, and went really down in season 3 and should have ended before Marissa died...

10. BH90210 - uhhh... it was so long ago, but yeah I agree, it was better in high school. And I think Brenda should have never leave the show & break up with Dylan... Posted 08/05/2008 05:08 AMReply

With Buffy -- it wasn't canceled due to poor viewership. Rather Sarah Michelle Geller only had a 7 year contract and SHE decided that she was ready for new projects after her 7 years was up.

A show that get's canceled because the lead character's contract was up -- that is hardly "fizzling out" Posted 08/05/2008 06:12 AMReply

"Saved by the Bell?", "Boy Meets World?". These were flat-out cheap sitcoms to begin with. They weren't even shown because they were good, they were aired solely because they were cheap to produce and any amount of viewership and ad revenue they generated was a profit system on that wide margin. To suggest they "died" when the characters "went to college" is like saying a plate of liver became less appealing when it was left out to spoil.

Still, if the author of this list only ever knew mid-90s television, it's not entirely his fault. That's about the time television stopped spending money on actually producing good TV shows.

It kept being picked up thanks to critics and the few people who watched, loved it - including the Head Guru, Dawn Ostroff, of the WB/CW. I wouldn't say her going to Hearst killed the show.

As for Buffy, um, 3 years in High School, 4 years in College. All that needs to be said about that.

And Gilmore Girls! SHE GRADUATED! 4 years in College! The show "died" because the creator stopped writing for the show in season 7. She was the voice, and losing her killed it.

I was really excited to read this list, but the comments are right: You just thought of ten shows that had characters go to college that are now over and said that college killed them. Personally, I liked Boy Meets World better in college. Veronica Mars was canceled because the network it was moved to wanted to "teenify" it. Sabrina ended because it was on for a very long time and needed to end. The season of The O.C. that you write about wasn't even the college season. IN the college season of The O.C., only ONE character went to college, for...6 episodes? Saved by the Bell: The College Years was technically a spin-off anyway...

@ Anonymous: Buffy had three seasons in high school, the first epidsode of season 4 was at uni and the show had seven seasons. That's more seasons at uni than not. It ended because Angel had surpassed it in quality and SMG wanted to move on. Season 7 was a dissapointment after an amazing season 6.

Boy Meets World was just as good if not better in the college years and so was saved by the bell. The OC was cancelled because they killed the main character off in season 3 and it didn't recover. I thought I think it could easily have lasted another year the storys were still great.

Going to college if anything made the show better because it introduced some new blood to the show. And Dawson's Creek rocked but the story was about Joey and Dawson - it was hard to watch it over and over again. They ended it at the right time. Posted 08/05/2008 4:28 PMReply

Stupid list.

Gilmore Girls: It wasn't a show about Highschool. And Rory even had finished College when the show went out.

Veronica Mars: Great show. It was cancelled due to low ratings. Sigh.

Everwood: Eversucked. Took to long to cancel it.

The OC: Also cancelled due to low ratings. I actually think the show improved A LOT at season 4 (the last one), cause I couldn't stand Marissa, so I was glad the producers killed her.

Buffy, the vampire slayer: Are you crazy? The show lasted four seasons after the end of Highschool. Yes, it went form WB to UPN after season 5, but only because of money. The only season around college in BTVS was season 4, its arc story wasn't stellar, but the college stuff was. And the show quickly moved on to new stuff. In season 5, Buffy even droped college. Actually, I think season 5 was BUFFY as its best. The only season that was really disapointing was the 7th, but it was the last one and the final episode was pretty decent.

Oh, by the way, Buffy still lives: season 8 comic-book form. It didn't start great but it keeps getting better. Posted 08/05/2008 4:47 PMReply

@ Jessica Almanza: Actually Lauren Granam didnt want to do the show anymore due to her busy schedule and that's why the Gilmore Girls was taken off the air and now talks of a movie are in the works to end the show better cause everybody was pissed! Posted 08/05/2008 5:07 PMReply

I agree that the first season of Buffy in college was somewhat rough, but mostly because they lost some key players -- Cordelia, Angel. Later on, it was Dawn that brought Buffy downhill although I still loved the series all the way to the end. Posted 08/17/2008 6:52 PMReply

Sabrina lasted past collage, she started working for a newspaper and lived with Roxy and Morgan in her aunts old house. The last episode was when she jilted her fiance Eric (Who she met AFTER collage) at the alter and left with Harvy on his motorcycle. Posted 08/18/2008 12:38 PMReply

This doesn't even make sense. Sarah Michelle Gellar said she didn't want to do Buffy anymore it was not cancelled. And, 90210 and Gilmore Girls had many seasons. Boy Meets World is a classic. Your research is not very accurate. Posted 10/02/2008 4:19 PMReply
