Last week, we talked about show's who are having a less-than-stellar second season—a sophomore slump, if you will, but today's Fall TV Award is about all returning series that have lost that spark that made us fall in love with them in the first place.

Is 30 Rock's final season doing the show justice? And is Glee doomed to never repeat its first year glory? Submitted for your approval, a list of 10 shows that have had fans complaining this season. Now all you have to do is vote for the returning series that is worse than ever. And if you think we missed one, please let us know in the comments and we could consider it for a last minute addition!

Polls close Thursday, Nov. 8, at 5 p.m. PT. Happy Halloween…and happy voting!
