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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Canada’s Worst Driver.
It’s an interesting concept but it wears out fast when you realize most of the people on the show would either need help with their mental health, or should simply not drive at all.
It just shows that we have a bad health care system when it comes to mental health, and that we are dependent on cars on top of that.
Like, they had multiple people with severe anxiety issues that thought they should absoluuuuuutely drive a car no matter how dangerous they were. And unfortunately it’s not like we could encourage those people to use the inexistant transit system where they lived.
So most of the seasons are the same with different people, eventually all returning to driving a car, even if some should definitely not.
And they called it ‘rehab’. Ugh. They should have realized how cringe and immoral it all is after the first few seasons, not 14!
Suits. Started out as a fluffy case-of-the-week show, devolved into a melodrama with characters that completely lost their original charms.
