Heroes, First season was great. Writers strike hit and season 2 and beyond was… bad.
The Simpsons.
By like 20 years now.
Oddly enough, it’s good again
Not first-eight-seasons good.
The Walking Dead. I dropped off around Season 3 and am shocked every time I see stories about the crazy things they’ve added.
The Simpsons. The episodes from the 1990s can still get a laugh out of me. I have a hard time sitting through anything after the mid 2000s.
(But props to you if you enjoy it - it just isn’t my cup of tea)
I keep hearing people say it’s gotten good again. I should really check it out.
Oh yeah? Maybe I should take another try. With a recession coming on, I feel like there’s more material.

Scrubs
The US version of The Office.
This one’s tough, because I like James Spader’s ridiculous character in season 8 a lot, but think the rest of the story had long since run its course.
The whole retail store story arc was quite a damp squib, and it feels like the show never really recovered.
James Spader’
He was in it? I never made it that far.
I’m going to say one piece, not that it ever got bad, I just couldn’t keep watching after episode 1,000 or so there’s just so much of it.
Although I no longer regard it as near my favourite: The Walking Dead.
Who keeps mowing the grass??
Stargate SG1. Don’t get me wrong I love the last few seasons but they just don’t have the same energy as the first ~7 seasons.
Firefly.
Edit: whoops sorry wrong universe.
Not my favorite, but Greys Anatomy. I think season 11 should have been the end. Once Derek died and Christina was gone it was not the same show.
Bones.
What’s worse is that now I end up having it binged every now and then because my wife still likes even the later seasons. When you watch it like that, all the little issues show up more.
Battlestar Galactica from the 00’s. It was written as a 3 season show but was padded out by another season to exploit its popularity. As a consequence, season 3 is not good.
The good wife. It became a bit distant from early episodes and meandered a bit. New characters were good but it was odd having main cast not share scenes due to personal falling out.
Sex and the city. Started out topical and fresh. Became a melodrama. Now revived as a melodrama.
Downton Abbey. Good cast and stories but time jumps meant you kept losing plots, characters and subplots, so it fizzled out.
Suits. Started out as a fluffy case-of-the-week show, devolved into a melodrama with characters that completely lost their original charms.
