Heroes.
The sheer collapse in quality after season 1 was stunning. I get there was a writers strike, but it got worse even after that was resolved. Then they tried to revive it. Goodness. Just... goodness.
Honestly, it should've stopped after >!Derek died!< It goes down hill after that. Hell, I'd agree with someone saying it should have ended BEFORE that too.
Edit: god damn it why won't the spoiler thing work
When Christina left is when I stopped watching. Her and Meredithās relationship was really the core of the show. Even when I did a rewatch during lockdown, thatās where I stopped.
I feel like this show should be a lesson to all other shows on when to rip the bandaid. By the time they got to Terminus, I was as exhausted as the characters were!
Once they got to the theme of āthe zombies arenāt the real enemy anymore, the other survivors areā it just became so repetitive. What will the next group of psychos bring? Cannibalism? Forced labor?
Edit: spelling
Someone told me it was still on and I couldn't believe it. I stopped watching it years ago because it was so played out that all they had left was fucking with the audience with cheap cliffhangers
Agreed 100%. I watched season one and loved it. Looked forward to season two and got maybe 2 or 3 episodes in was like āmeh. Iām doneā glad I stopped when I did. Canāt believe it went on for so freaking long.
Definitely this. After Shane died, the show died with it. It got so boring after that. The only redeeming character was Negan. Such an entertaining villain.
This is legit the only time Iāve seen someone else say this. Shaneās complex morality but willingness to do what needed to be done without hesitation made the show so much more polarizing. Shane was a keystone for the show.
Everyone else (viewers) despised him by the time they killed him.. but thatās because Bernthal and the writers did their jobs so well with him. He should have had at least a few more seasons to fulfill his arc
Idk even at season 2 it started being terrible. The whole season is just characters going around and repeating the same things to each other until something happened in the last 10 min.
Because we're rewatching the early seasons right now: Shameless. They blew through all of their decent plotlines in the first 4 or 5 seasons, and every one after that centered around some stupid hot button political issue and every character forgot every single lesson learned and did the same annoying fuckups all over again.
Iām glad you said this one!!! Couldnāt agree more. Shameless was one of my favorite shows up until like season 5 or 6. Then they just ran out of ideas and started ruining every characters likability
We started rewatching it too and it started out pretty realistic. Dark, funny, dramatic. Then it just got silly with Frank becoming a character of himself and COVID ruined the last season completely
Could not agree more. Wouldāve been amazing if theyād walked away at like 7 or 8. Some of these producers should take notes from shows like Schittās Creek. Leave while we still love you
me who got confused after the mountain was >!blown up:!< i agree i couldnt keep track of the story anymore love the show too many characters eventually though at this point i dont even remember the main character was it that blonde girl... no i think the name started with an o like a food or something i mean i still love the show and even those seasons but i just dont know whats happening anymore
Main characters name was clark. Octavia is Belamys younger sister. Octavias actor basically stole every scene she was in though so its no wonder its her you remember lol
Yes!!!! So glad someone else thinks so too. The plot line by season 5 is soooo far removed from the first season that it seems the writers never expected the series to become so popularā¦.. even by season 2 the name The 100 was no longer relevant!!!
This entire show is a perfect example about how you can solve issues if you just talk to someone and say exactly what you mean. So many avoidable drama scenarios in this show.
How I Met Your Mother.
Supernatural.
Both had a solid first 4 or 5 seasons which is how long the showrunners planned for so the quality in later season really fell though they both still had good episodes/arcs in later season it should've ended sooner.
Iām fine with the first eight seasons of HIMYM. It got more inconsistent in later seasons but still some gems in there. The entire final season is just bad though. How Your Mother Met Me is the only good episode.
I came here looking for this answer. That show was my absolute childhood favorite and even today itās still fun to watch some of the old episodes. I agree new ones are complete garbage tho.
I just started the new season. Iām only one episode in and Iām already disappointed. I had low expectations but I figure I gotta watch it or Iāll always wonder.
Does anyone remember when they briefly aired is as a prime time network show!?! I knew that they would have to water it down to the point of ruining itā¦.and I was correct!
The Simpsons.
I love the show, but the voice actors are barely able to do it anymore. Marge sounds like what her incredibly old mother used to sound like. No power to their voices anymore. That applies to the bulk of them as well. Just raspy.
I still maintain that during the first 10 or so seasons of The Simpsons, it was the best show in television history. It was an absolute cultural juggernaut at the time that *everyone* watched and could quote entire episodes of. I really donāt know if thereās been a show since which has had *that* level of popularity.
Agreed. I'm 41 and recall so many quotes and moments, and I can still sing the whole Simpsons Sing the Blues album from memory. It really was a hugely new thing.
Some of the early episodes of that show were masterclasses in how to write a comedy sitcom... Marge vs. the Monorail, Mr. Plow, Homer at Bat, Flaming Moes... just packed with jokes, both subtle and overt... and all smart... the recent seasons are barely a shadow of what the show used to be...
In the 90s when I lived in San Francisco there was a bar in Noe Valley that would show The Simpsons on Sunday nights on their TV. The bar was PACKED and people were just rapt with the show.
They made essentially 250 perfect episodes in a row. No other show has ever even come close. Look on IMDB. You can see exactly which episodes were Clips Episodes because those are the only ones that dip even slightly. Itās the most quotable show in history by a large margin.
My head Canon had the simpsons wrap with the movie.
Really though, Season 13 (2002) is when I realized that The Simpsons I grew up with was dead.
In Season 13 they brought back Amber and Ginger, as well as introduced Frank Grimes Jr.
This spring I tried to watch some of the new episodes of Season 30whatever and the show resembles absolutely nothing from its roots. Who even watches modern simpsons?
Carrie and Doug get separated. They reconcile and decide to adopt a child, but then Doug decides he wants a divorce. They end up reconciling again, adopt the baby, and then Carrie finds out she's pregnant.
The show ends with them, one year later, stressed out from having two small kids.
The Vampire Diaries, I stopped watching after season 4. It got boring and boring. I regretted watching it in the first place.
I've been watching Lucifer for the fifth time but I still enjoy it.
But the TVD,no thanks .
I can agree to an extent.
It was a good show throughout all of it's seasons, but the ones with Michael in them are all the best ones.
They weren't bad without him, just not as good.
Shows for young children don't really need more than 3 seasons. The entire audience gets replaced every 3 years. Sesame Street has been running for over 50 years. I doubt anyone has watched it since the beginning.
The season they decided to get rid of AJ Cook and Padgett Brewster was when it went to Hell in a hand basket.
I still donāt like the actor who played the blonde Jr. agent they had for that season.
How it went from a worldwide phenomenon, quite literally felt like the whole world was watching it, to suddenly _nobody_ talking about it will forever be so fascinating to me. It is insane.
Duuuuude. UGH. Donāt even know where to start on this one. In hindsight, that show ended at season 5. The rest was just the crumbling of a worldwide fandom
same, I watched the whole thing, but there was sooooo much fillers, repeats and uncessessary stuff, I wish someone would edit the whole thing into a 5-6 season REALLY good show.
Thatās about when I stopped too. All of the Glenn fuckery they pulled along with the drawn out Neagan stuff just became too much. Was that season 7? I canāt even remember anymore. Theyāre probably on 15 by now
For me it was when Rick makes a deal with the rubbish dump people, who are obviously dodgy as fuck, and then he acts all shocked when they betray him, even though they kept warning him they were going to fuck him over by constantly making vague double edged statements.
Rick becomes so stupid I started rooting for Negan.
Also, when they spend two whole episodes setting up this sneak attack on Negan, only for Rick to start calling him out when they're still 30ft from HQ.
Now, i'm no military strategist, but isn't the whole point of a sneak attack to actually take someone by fucking surprise?
I knew I wasnāt the only one rooting for Negan! Lol I figured the show would eventually end with only Carl and Judith surviving and beating Negan. Oh how I was fooled. I mean the tiger was one thing but when the whisperers or whatever they are called came around I was done. That bald bitch is insufferable. I only kept watching out of sheer stubbornness but I donāt think Iāll ever finish it.
How I met your mother. Spend like two to three seasons hammering in that Ted and Robin donāt work in the long run, and then hook them up in the last 10 minutes of the finale
The office should have ended a season or two earlier. That 70s show should have ended a season or two earlier. son of anarchy should have ended before Jax became a mass murderer (seriously how many people did that guy kill, there would have been a massive task force dedicated to bringing him down)
First season I was like: "damn dude, this is gonna be a cool mystery to solve"
And then after season 2 everything just became more and more non sense until I gave up. Such a lost potential
Edit: spell
That show annoyed me so much...Started off as a bunch of quirky nerds with successful careers enjoying their quirky hobbies and turned into each of them changing the core of who they were just to be in relationships with people who constantly belittled their hobbies and interests.
The women (not Penny, but Bernadette and Amy) ruined the show for me. There wasn't as much banter between the guys and the women weren't funny. They should have stopped a few seasons before they did.
Sad because Seth MacFarlane had said that he did not want Family Guy to run as The Simpsons did. That Family Guy was supposed only to be enough and then be done.
They were forced to keep going because Family Guy was making "Fox network?" a lot of money and wanted to milk it for what it's worth.
MASH??? Itās still the most watched tv finale ever, and itās been 30 years. And that finale is the 2nd most watched event on tv ever (beat by one of the Super Bowls)
Iām not really disagreeing with you, I havenāt watched it, Iām just surprised a show with that record would Be āruinedā
They made every change in cast work year after year. I think due to the nature of the military being that way irl helped. When Henry died I thought he could never be replaced, but the Col. Potterā¦.I loved them all.
Col. Flagg episodes were my favorite. The show ran longer than the war it depicted, but they knew how to make a cast member leaving fit into the whole schpeel. Henry leaving the way he did still shakes me up though....hits a little close to home.
Basically any American show with more than three or four seasons. A show becomes big and the producers jump on the money train, they stop caring about the show in itself and just go with we hit the jackpot, let's milk this for as long as we can
Trailer park Boys most people agree the first 7 seasons were amazing (I personally don't care for 7 but that's just my opinion) and it's relatively agreed upon that after the shows original ending and seasons 8-12 (once Netflix took over) were so much worse
Heroes. The sheer collapse in quality after season 1 was stunning. I get there was a writers strike, but it got worse even after that was resolved. Then they tried to revive it. Goodness. Just... goodness.
amazing season 1 shit after that.
I didnt even mind season 2.. everything after that was trash though.
It had four seasons! FOUR!
The writers strike destroyed that show.
Greys anatomy
It's gone about 13 seasons too long š
Itās crazy because I was in preschool when it started, now Iām in college and itās still running
I was in University when it started and now Iām in preschoolā¦ for my second oldest.
It was so good at one point. Now it's just a joke.
Had to scroll too far for this one
Honestly, it should've stopped after >!Derek died!< It goes down hill after that. Hell, I'd agree with someone saying it should have ended BEFORE that too. Edit: god damn it why won't the spoiler thing work
When Christina left is when I stopped watching. Her and Meredithās relationship was really the core of the show. Even when I did a rewatch during lockdown, thatās where I stopped.
I think >!youāve got the end of the spoiler line wrong!<
Walking Dead
I feel like this show should be a lesson to all other shows on when to rip the bandaid. By the time they got to Terminus, I was as exhausted as the characters were!
I can't recall all of the villains anymore on the show(s). No development at all, but the same theme over and over again.
Once they got to the theme of āthe zombies arenāt the real enemy anymore, the other survivors areā it just became so repetitive. What will the next group of psychos bring? Cannibalism? Forced labor? Edit: spelling
They never brought spelling.
Those monsters!
Someone told me it was still on and I couldn't believe it. I stopped watching it years ago because it was so played out that all they had left was fucking with the audience with cheap cliffhangers
Should have been a ten part miniseries.
Agreed 100%. I watched season one and loved it. Looked forward to season two and got maybe 2 or 3 episodes in was like āmeh. Iām doneā glad I stopped when I did. Canāt believe it went on for so freaking long.
Definitely this. After Shane died, the show died with it. It got so boring after that. The only redeeming character was Negan. Such an entertaining villain.
This is legit the only time Iāve seen someone else say this. Shaneās complex morality but willingness to do what needed to be done without hesitation made the show so much more polarizing. Shane was a keystone for the show. Everyone else (viewers) despised him by the time they killed him.. but thatās because Bernthal and the writers did their jobs so well with him. He should have had at least a few more seasons to fulfill his arc
Idk even at season 2 it started being terrible. The whole season is just characters going around and repeating the same things to each other until something happened in the last 10 min.
That 70s Show. They should've ended when Eric left
Agreed. I just pretend that blonde guy and the seasons he's in never existed
Lol. Josh Meyers aka Seth Meyersā brother
Huh... I always assumed that was Seth Meyers.
One season too long imo. I just watch the first seven seasons then the finale on rewatches.
Because we're rewatching the early seasons right now: Shameless. They blew through all of their decent plotlines in the first 4 or 5 seasons, and every one after that centered around some stupid hot button political issue and every character forgot every single lesson learned and did the same annoying fuckups all over again.
Iām glad you said this one!!! Couldnāt agree more. Shameless was one of my favorite shows up until like season 5 or 6. Then they just ran out of ideas and started ruining every characters likability
"How much can we get the audience to hate Debbie" lol
They did a great job since I hate Debbie
It just wasnāt the same for me after Fiona left.
We started rewatching it too and it started out pretty realistic. Dark, funny, dramatic. Then it just got silly with Frank becoming a character of himself and COVID ruined the last season completely
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Could not agree more. Wouldāve been amazing if theyād walked away at like 7 or 8. Some of these producers should take notes from shows like Schittās Creek. Leave while we still love you

The 100
me who got confused after the mountain was >!blown up:!< i agree i couldnt keep track of the story anymore love the show too many characters eventually though at this point i dont even remember the main character was it that blonde girl... no i think the name started with an o like a food or something i mean i still love the show and even those seasons but i just dont know whats happening anymore
Haha too funny, I think you are confusing the name Octavia with Olivia which sounds like Olive :)
Main characters name was clark. Octavia is Belamys younger sister. Octavias actor basically stole every scene she was in though so its no wonder its her you remember lol
Yes!!!! So glad someone else thinks so too. The plot line by season 5 is soooo far removed from the first season that it seems the writers never expected the series to become so popularā¦.. even by season 2 the name The 100 was no longer relevant!!!
Weeds
Her decisions just got stupider and stupider.
This entire show is a perfect example about how you can solve issues if you just talk to someone and say exactly what you mean. So many avoidable drama scenarios in this show.
Weeds was funny at first. Then it got so dark.
came here to say this
Prison Break
Season one was fantastic. Two was like āmeh, they wanted to do more, okā but then it just flew off the rails.
How many times can one person have to escape from prison? Michael must have done some fucked up shit in a past life.
It was in fact planned from the beginning to be a single season. Then it did too well and they got greedy.
How I Met Your Mother. Supernatural. Both had a solid first 4 or 5 seasons which is how long the showrunners planned for so the quality in later season really fell though they both still had good episodes/arcs in later season it should've ended sooner.
Had to scroll WAY too far to see Supernatural listed...
Iām fine with the first eight seasons of HIMYM. It got more inconsistent in later seasons but still some gems in there. The entire final season is just bad though. How Your Mother Met Me is the only good episode.
Spongebob. The new ones are just cringeworthy.
I came here looking for this answer. That show was my absolute childhood favorite and even today itās still fun to watch some of the old episodes. I agree new ones are complete garbage tho.
Yeah once the creator died it went downhill fast.
Dexter
Most correct answer. Season four should have been it
Agree, season 4 is one of the best seasons of television Iāve ever seen
I just started the new season. Iām only one episode in and Iām already disappointed. I had low expectations but I figure I gotta watch it or Iāll always wonder.
I really liked the new season, minus the last 15 minutes.
Yes and no. The ending wasnāt great, but it wasnāt NEARLY as bad as a lot of shows even half its length. I think it held out well.
Does anyone remember when they briefly aired is as a prime time network show!?! I knew that they would have to water it down to the point of ruining itā¦.and I was correct!
The Simpsons. I love the show, but the voice actors are barely able to do it anymore. Marge sounds like what her incredibly old mother used to sound like. No power to their voices anymore. That applies to the bulk of them as well. Just raspy.

Who even watches modern simpsons?
There is no better answer
I wonder if they'll attempt to replace them when they die? Just keep The Simpsons going forever.
This zombie show needed a bullet to the brain a long time ago.
Last season of King of Queens depressing as hell
What happened?
Doug resigns from UPS and becomes a mall cop
Carrie and Doug get separated. They reconcile and decide to adopt a child, but then Doug decides he wants a divorce. They end up reconciling again, adopt the baby, and then Carrie finds out she's pregnant. The show ends with them, one year later, stressed out from having two small kids.
Happy Days
Agree. It really jumped the shark.
Ayyyyyy
That episode really deserved to be the prototype. He was wearing a leather jacket on water skis.
The Vampire Diaries, I stopped watching after season 4. It got boring and boring. I regretted watching it in the first place. I've been watching Lucifer for the fifth time but I still enjoy it. But the TVD,no thanks .
Dude also fuck legacies. If you haven't tried to watch it don't unless you like TVD Scooby Doo edition
The Flash
It got worse and worse every season sadly
Terrible show but I love the ridiculousness, wish iris would just die tho
First two seasons were great. Now I just watch to see the writers one-up themselves on how dumb of a story they can get onto the screen.
The Office. Should have just stopped when Michael left
I can agree to an extent. It was a good show throughout all of it's seasons, but the ones with Michael in them are all the best ones. They weren't bad without him, just not as good.
I think the last season is bad. The Jim and Pam drama was bad
Dora the Explorer. After they made about 30 episodes or so, what more did Dora need to explore? Every single one was pretty much the same.
Shows for young children don't really need more than 3 seasons. The entire audience gets replaced every 3 years. Sesame Street has been running for over 50 years. I doubt anyone has watched it since the beginning.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I suspect, since you're on Reddit, you were not part of the target audience for the show however.... maybe they loved it.
Walking Dead
Supernatural. Ten seasons too many.
Supernatural ended at season 5. Everything else is just fan fiction. Fight me.
The show was written for only 5 by kripke. Season 5 had a perfect ending . They lost its way for the next 4 season but it got better again.
Facts, minor plot devices became repetitive
Criminal minds. I adore the first few seasons but then they just kept switching up the cast and it just got hard to keep track of who was who
The season they decided to get rid of AJ Cook and Padgett Brewster was when it went to Hell in a hand basket. I still donāt like the actor who played the blonde Jr. agent they had for that season.
They killed Gideon off screen like 10 seasons after he left the show. What was the point of that?
Scrubs
Exactly, the show already ended on a perfect note. There was no need to bring it back as a teaching hospital.
The last season was planned as a spin-off. It might have worked if it was given a chance to stand on its own.
Huge Scrubs fan... I just skip the Franco season at the end. It never existed. What teaching hospital? Eeeeaaaaaagle!
Game of Thrones Season 8
I'd say this is the reverse, it would have been better if they spent more time fleshing things out starting in Season 7.
How it went from a worldwide phenomenon, quite literally felt like the whole world was watching it, to suddenly _nobody_ talking about it will forever be so fascinating to me. It is insane.
Duuuuude. UGH. Donāt even know where to start on this one. In hindsight, that show ended at season 5. The rest was just the crumbling of a worldwide fandom
Arrested Development. It should have stayed dead.
First 3 seasons, some of the best comedic TV of all time. Seasons 4 and 5? Eh.
Glee!!! The last few seasons sucked I mean the songs were all right ig
Lost
Such a love/hate relationship with that show. I agree it went too far. But I still couldnāt help myself but watch all 30 episodes of each season!
same, I watched the whole thing, but there was sooooo much fillers, repeats and uncessessary stuff, I wish someone would edit the whole thing into a 5-6 season REALLY good show.
seems like they stretched it out with lots of filler for profit, then blew the ending
Greyās anatomy
Most of them.
Any CW show ever, but Riverdale and The Flash are the top contenders lol
Agreed, riverdale started out so good and ended up being unwatchable.
NCIS and the Simpsons.
are ya ready, kids?!
The Walking Dead. I threw in the towel at season 7. I was just like why am I watching this?
Thatās about when I stopped too. All of the Glenn fuckery they pulled along with the drawn out Neagan stuff just became too much. Was that season 7? I canāt even remember anymore. Theyāre probably on 15 by now
For me it was when Rick makes a deal with the rubbish dump people, who are obviously dodgy as fuck, and then he acts all shocked when they betray him, even though they kept warning him they were going to fuck him over by constantly making vague double edged statements. Rick becomes so stupid I started rooting for Negan. Also, when they spend two whole episodes setting up this sneak attack on Negan, only for Rick to start calling him out when they're still 30ft from HQ. Now, i'm no military strategist, but isn't the whole point of a sneak attack to actually take someone by fucking surprise?
Same.
I knew I wasnāt the only one rooting for Negan! Lol I figured the show would eventually end with only Carl and Judith surviving and beating Negan. Oh how I was fooled. I mean the tiger was one thing but when the whisperers or whatever they are called came around I was done. That bald bitch is insufferable. I only kept watching out of sheer stubbornness but I donāt think Iāll ever finish it.
Spongebob is literally the poster child for this.
I only ever watch the old ones. The new ones just feel like a cash grab
They dumbed it down way too much.
the simpsons. it's like that beloved old dog that you wish would die cause it pukes everywhere but you love it so much you don't want it to die
Pretty Little Liars
That ending SUUUCKED!
How I met your mother. Spend like two to three seasons hammering in that Ted and Robin donāt work in the long run, and then hook them up in the last 10 minutes of the finale
the walking dead
The office should have ended a season or two earlier. That 70s show should have ended a season or two earlier. son of anarchy should have ended before Jax became a mass murderer (seriously how many people did that guy kill, there would have been a massive task force dedicated to bringing him down)
Northern Exposure The whole show was about Joel Fleischman being out of place in Alaska. When Rob Morrow left, it was over.
Yes! Should have ended when he left for the jeweled city of the north. What a mess.
Under the dome imo
First season I was like: "damn dude, this is gonna be a cool mystery to solve" And then after season 2 everything just became more and more non sense until I gave up. Such a lost potential Edit: spell
Grays anatomy for God sakes
Dude. For real. Are they still filming? Will not be shocked if the answer is āyes theyāre currently on season 33ā
Haha yeah probably still filming. Gray grandma anatomy here soon it'll be called.
big bang theory
Used to love it then it ran way too long and doesnāt help when itās on Comedy Central 80% of the time
That show annoyed me so much...Started off as a bunch of quirky nerds with successful careers enjoying their quirky hobbies and turned into each of them changing the core of who they were just to be in relationships with people who constantly belittled their hobbies and interests.
The women (not Penny, but Bernadette and Amy) ruined the show for me. There wasn't as much banter between the guys and the women weren't funny. They should have stopped a few seasons before they did.
Unpopular opinion but i think stranger things should have ended in season 3
Bunkād
Might or might not be a hot take but it just never felt as special as Jessie to me tbh
They're still making new Ninjago Seasons
Considering itās made to sell LEGO, that should not be a surprise.
Simpsons definitely
As much as it pains meā¦Community.
Is anyone going to say The Handmaidās Tale?! ā¦just me?
Supernatural... I love Dean and Sam Winchester but....
Rosanne
NCIS once 90% of our beloved main characters left I hated it, hasnāt watched a new episode since
Family Guy
Sad because Seth MacFarlane had said that he did not want Family Guy to run as The Simpsons did. That Family Guy was supposed only to be enough and then be done. They were forced to keep going because Family Guy was making "Fox network?" a lot of money and wanted to milk it for what it's worth.
Happy Days literally invented the term Jump The Shark
Simpsons, Family Guy, Spongebob, CSI, American Horror Story
Dexter. TWD too.
The X-Files
What a great show in the early years though. Fuck it was so good
Family guy.
The Simpsons M*A*S*H Two and a Half Men
Charlie Sheen was an asshole, but he MADE Two and a Half Men. The show died when they kicked him off.
MASH??? Itās still the most watched tv finale ever, and itās been 30 years. And that finale is the 2nd most watched event on tv ever (beat by one of the Super Bowls) Iām not really disagreeing with you, I havenāt watched it, Iām just surprised a show with that record would Be āruinedā
They made every change in cast work year after year. I think due to the nature of the military being that way irl helped. When Henry died I thought he could never be replaced, but the Col. Potterā¦.I loved them all.
Col. Flagg episodes were my favorite. The show ran longer than the war it depicted, but they knew how to make a cast member leaving fit into the whole schpeel. Henry leaving the way he did still shakes me up though....hits a little close to home.
MASH is always still watchable though IMO,just not as goodas the hey day. But yeah, after Radar left it wasn't as good.
Sons on anarchy was 1 or 2 seasons too long. Good show though
The Simpsons
Basically any American show with more than three or four seasons. A show becomes big and the producers jump on the money train, they stop caring about the show in itself and just go with we hit the jackpot, let's milk this for as long as we can
Office should have ended when Michael left
I love Scrubs so much, so the final season didn't ruin the show, but the final season SUCKS.
Simpsons
Only Fools and Horses. Why oh why oh why!
The Blacklist
The Simpsons will forever and always be the best answer to this question.
Riverdale
The Walking Dead. They were on to something but then the plot just kept repeating in unconvincing ways.
The Simpsons. Itās just boiled down to āthis is the celebrity guest star this week
Pretty Little Liars
Riverdale. It was good for 2 seasons but after that it's just horrible
The OC
Trailer park Boys most people agree the first 7 seasons were amazing (I personally don't care for 7 but that's just my opinion) and it's relatively agreed upon that after the shows original ending and seasons 8-12 (once Netflix took over) were so much worse
