Do you think there should be a cutoff point for the number of seasons a television series runs?

I think a show should run for as long as the ratings are good. If I don't like it I don't have to keep watching. It's hard to maintain when writers & actors leave. We've all probably had a favorite show that brought in new writers & we feel like they have no understanding of certain characters. It's frustrating. But 5-7 seems to be about right for a good show before it starts to lose people & go downhill.

As long as it has good ratings, because obviously people are still watching it.

Just as soon as they start rehashing old plots. That usually starts to happen around season 7. Few shows should go longer than 10 seasons.

Yeah....when the show stops being good. And if you're going to cast different people and not keep it original, then I guess you can start phasing it out then too.

You see that a lot with long running drama series. When the writers begin running out of ideas, just cancel the show already.

I agree with those who said when they start to recycle storylines.
