Not that it was super awesome but as a kid I thought it was a fun show. The last season was sooo cringe worthy.

The A Team.

---

I was a big A Team fan when I was a kid. Recently, I was at home during a weekday and caught a marathon of episodes. I'm guessing it was during the final season, because they had Robert Vaughn and some younger hip guy named Frankie Santana as additions to the team. I don't remember that at all from when I was a kid. I guess I quit watching it by then.

Season 7 tanked 'em. Was good up to that point.

That is exactly what I was talking about. I like Robert Vaughn as an actor but those shows were high school drama class awful.

True Detectives season 1 was great...season 2 was garbage.

---

But then season 3 was pretty decent (not as good as 1 but much better than 2.

That doesn't seem to be the premise of what the OP wanted.

---

I didn't realize there was ever a season 3...probably blocked it out if I ever heard it.

The Office
Xfiles
Sherlock
That 70s show

Not sure how I forgot the most obvious one: the Simpsons

Heroes is an excellent choice. I think the best choice.

Nip/Tuck might be one of the most insane shows I've ever watched. There is no way in hell that show gets made in 2019. I loved it purely from a train wreck perspective but never watched the last season (maybe last two?) because it went so far off the rails. Those writes were on hard core drugs.

If we expanded this to movies, there is only one choice: godfather 3 vs either 1 or 2. If I ever buy the dvd box set, I'm gonna open it and pull out/smash part three at the register. Part 3 never happened. I don't care what anyone says.

OITNB
Glow
Six Feet Under

The Flash - I have something like 38 shows on the DVR that I haven't watched because, well, I don't care to watch them. Maybe one day, I'll binge them, but I doubt it.

The problem is that it was never a great show so probably doesn't fit the mold of your request.

A couple other present shows; Blacklist and This is Us

I would say it started out pretty good, arrow as well. There were plenty of cheesy moments in both but yeah we quit both. I've been tired of arrow for a couple seasons and then the flash last season lost me.

Nip/Tuck. The writer's strike really took it off a cliff and it never recovered.

---

Was that after right after season 2? I never realized it was a writer's strike that cause that. I thought the season2 finale was one of the best season finales of all time, then it went WTF?

Edit: Nope it was season 5. I thought it took a nosedive prior to that.

Here's a big obvious one missed so far....

Dallas

That show started off so awesome, had so many great seasons in the early 80s and then bam it went straight to hell. The turning point obviously being Bobby's return. Then a season or two after that, the budget cuts to the scenes and scenery were very very obvious. No more expansive ranch shots, no more Ewing BBQ, writers leaving the show, etc...

And the series finale, was really an injustice to its once greatness.

The poster that put Heroes in their list is correct. That was my immediate thought.

any show that introduces a kid late in the run is a death sentence for the series.
- Scooby Doo with Crappy
- Oliver with Brady Bunch
- Raven with Cosby Show
- Leo Di Caprio with Growing Pains

I have to agree with Blacklist. It didn't help that we started like 4 seasons behind and binged them on Netflix before last season. I think it started being repetitive and going down hill about season 4 and last season and so far this season have been very underwhelming. Like last season you knew they weren't going to kill Raymond because he is the whole premise of the show.

Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl. They had a couple of really great seasons and should have just found a landing and ended each series, they are just painfully bad now with Arrow being the absolute worst.

Alias. The first show I really binged and bought the DVD's for the first couple of seasons and loved it but winded up bailing midway through season 4 and never even watching season 5.

The OC. I liked the show but the last season was a train wreck. They should have just ended once Mischa Barton left.

Dallas is a good entry into the discussion. It really sucked at the end from what I hear. With that said, I was too young to know how good it was at its prime

Luke Cage went from good to bad within one season

Wtf? the last season of 6FU was great. The show was just as long as it needed to be

Dexter - this one is the king of all shows that went from great to terrible
Shameless
The Office after Michael
House of Cards. Kevin Spacey was that show, as much as I hate to say it.
Weeds. once they left Agrestic the show sucked and Nancy became the most unlikable character.
Lost... the last season wasnt "terrible" necessarily but there is a stark contrast in quality from the first 3 seasons.

Bottom line is shows that go on for too long will inevitably start sucking. Shows that end at the right time are remembered for being great (e.g. Breaking Bad)

My top two

Heros and Lost....the writers strike killed heros. Was never the same after that. Didn't lost get caught up in that too?
