Simpsons, Family Guy, Nip/Tuck, and 24 come to mind right away. Agree that Always Sunny could be on its way down after this last season.

[mtneer1212]

Married with Children, Happy Days, and Love Boat ......... what did all three have in common? Ted McGinley joined the cast as soon as it turned bad.

[Jimmy Proffett]

Roseanne was a great show, then toward the end they won the lottery, found out Roseanne's Mom was a lesbian (wtf) and D.J. started dating some REALLY ugly chick and all they did was talk about obscure foreign films. Just awful at the end.

Last 2-3 years of Family Guy have been just terrible also.

[Casperwaits]

Roseanne (lottery killed it)
Family Ties (That little kid killed it)
Las Vegas (Tom Selleck killed it)
The Hogan Family (Sandy Duncan killed it)

how i met your mother

[Ace_of_Spades]

how i met your mother

Yep, thats definitely one show that had gone shit quickly too. This season is god awful. How they came up with killing off Marshalls father was so badly done.

[Wojo]

All My Children

Edge of Night

Cavemen

[DeluxeLiner]

Agree the show started out so great and I feel it has gone off in a weird direction. It used to have such smart writing.

I like Seinfeld throughout I don't think it went to shit.

Entourage needs to end, and glad it is. It has almost turned into a drama after last season.
The formula for the show is getting old and played out.

[MartinBlank]

X Files
Heroes

I loved the X-Files too, I hated it when Duchovny left.

The little kids always kill the shows. The little kid did it in Family Ties, Different Strokes, Married With Children, and The Brady Bunch. Whoever put the "add the little kid in" rule to revive TV shows must be a habitual gambler because the same plan loses everytime.

Great post! Totally agree. I had forgotten about the little pecker that joined Married with Children.

You guys missed the easiest one.

I didn't like it when it was supposed to be good.

...and Boy Meets World

[drew17]

I dont watch a lot of TV but I use to love the simpsons and now I can barely watch one if the new episodes

[MickeyMan]

The last years of Seinfeld were its best

[sneakerhead]

Weeds, Scrubs, Prison Break

[falconticket]

Lassie, that bitch got too cocky.

[Andy117]

Weeds, Scrubs, Prison Break

Prison Break had one good season.

[turnip]

BONANZA. The best season were before Adam Cartwright left.

[mighty maron]

The Twilight Zone....not that the later episodes were worse than the first but cant believe how fondly I remember the show and now I cant watch most of them.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus...Movies were great...episodes were hit and miss

Dukes of Hazard with those scab Bo and Luke Duke

WWE Raw .........from the aititude era to the PG era...ugh

[StraitShooter]

still watched andy griffith every chance I get. I always hated Mash never watched one episode. Alda always rubbed me the wrong way and that dude with the dress makes me sick

[LVHerbie]

Disagree with Mash.
When Stevenson and Rogers were with the show, it was more gag orientated.
When that pair left, alda went more behind the scenes and the show was more story orientated, but the show remained solid throughout.

IMO MASH went downhill after they tried to turn a movie into a tv show that couldn't work due to broadcast restrictions in that era...

Yeah, "Little Ricky" killed "I Love Lucy" too.

[doublej95]

Andy Griffith show totally sucked when it went to color

[DwightShrute]

• the Electric Company - B ....... AD ........... BAD
• S.W.A.T
• 6 Million Dollar man - Steve Austin became a pussy and the bionic woman fukked it all up and Oscar Goldman stood by and let it happen. Wasn't there a bionic dog at the end?
• Law and Order: Criminal Intent (once Det. Robert Goren left it went to shit - He was the show)
• Survivor - couldn't watch it after season one

[Blax0r]

House started out pretty strong, but the episodes seem to follow the same plot formula.

[13th Inning]

Good Times sucked after the father died.

Cosby Show wasn't the same after the kids grew up and they had to bring in the little girl, grandchildren, etc.

Married With Children sucked after the new kid ("Seven") came in, as was mentioned. It may have actually peaked even earlier than that, with the Sam Kinison episode.

Roseanne was great early on, but already starting to go bad pre-lottery, then it just became a joke after that.

In Living Color started to go downhill at the end when they brought in new cast members, like that Asian guy and the other blonde. I think Damon Wayans left also, don't remember for sure..

Dukes of Hazzard was never the same after the year of the imitation Bo and Luke, "Coy" and "Vance". The when Bo and Luke came back, I liked the excuse that they were just gone for a year driving NASCAR. hahaha

Simpsons after about season 14.

Three's Company after Suzanne Somers left. (Although that show was kind of borderline to begin with.)

Not sure whether Three Stooges post-Curly belongs here. Certainly the post-Shemp years.

[mighty maron]

King of Queens got a tad lame at the end..

Might be in the minority here but I thought the show "Everybody Loves Raymond" was goood from start to finish.

Wish they would have had the courage to kill a main character off

[FourLengthsClear]

Pretty much all successful sitcoms go on for a year or two too long.
Both of the above are good examples.

Friends was the same and Frasier, Scrubs and Two and a Half Men are both terrible ATM.

[stevenash]

I like Seinfeld throughout I don't think it went to shit.

Season nine they mailed it in.
Only reason season nine existed was out of loyalty to Richards, Dreyfus, and Alexander.
They finally got their real big pay day that year.

Think of the season nine episodes, The Puerto Rican flag episode sucked, Frogger was just OK, the one with the van was just brutal, they had two clip shows that year............

Awful season.

[stevenash]

• Law and Order: Criminal Intent (once Det. Robert Goren left it went to shit - He was the show)

My all time favorite show, bar none.
His peers say D'Onofrio is the best character actor in the business today.
He's my favorite actor.

Now for the good news, Wolf and the boys are bringing back D'onofrio with Erbe, later this year.

Go figure, who would have thought that show was doomed with Goldblum.
But NBC/USA was losing "Monk" that very same season, and they though Goldblum and his zen ways could fill the void that Monk left.

[ReiNNNN]

first thing that came to mind is the simpsons LOL. i mean come on. it fkin suck balls now

[patswin]

seinfeld, the last 2 years without larry david sucked

[stevek173]

Golden Girls. The show didn't change all that much but when JJ Coug and Bobby stopped watching it with me it pretty much sucked to watch on my own.
