Have you ever turned on the TV to see a show or movie that seems like it’s on its thousandth installment and just thought, OK! I get it! Enough already!

Brownstone Productions

Well, friends, that's what we're gonna talk about today. Redditor u/binkabonka asked the ever-important question, "What franchise was milked/is being milked too much?"

20th Century Fox

Let me tell you, these people made some good 👏 points 👏. Here are 21 of the best answers:

1. SpongeBob SquarePants

"Stephen Hillenburg wanted no spinoffs and did his best to steer the ship of his creation in his later years. Now there are two spinoffs (both are BAD), and Nickelodeon has no plans on stopping, with no creator to tell them no."

2. Grey's Anatomy

3. Despicable Me/Minions

6. Law & Order

NBC

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Law & Order: LA, Law & Order True Crime, and Law & Order: Organized Crime...I'm starting to think the 2001 Saturday Night Live skit 'Law & Order: Parking Violations Unit' wasn't a skit so much as a trial balloon."
