Shows that have gone downhill

[nekosync]

What shows do you think have gone downhill?

I think Simpsons has - the Family Guy crossover, the "beloved character" death...

Spoiler

Krusty's dad died. He's not even a main character, so it was a big disappointment.

The characters are just exaggerations of themselves, and have lost all their charm. The jokes are as bland as a glass of lukewarm water.

American Idol, the voice and dancing with the stars

It's ended now but Dexter. I used to love the earlier seasons of it. The final season was just terrible and the finale was so disappointing. It left a lot of questions unanswered, and now I always look back negatively at a show I used to love. :/

Idk if it's still like this, but I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy during the sixth season because it had been getting worse and worse. I'm currently rewatching it, and I'm planning on watching at least the sixth season. It may have gotten better since I stopped watching it.

Simpons hasn't been good since like...2003. Spongebob got bad after the movie, family guy....ug. Hmm. Since Rebecca Sugar left Adventure time, I just haven't been as into it. She's got this kind of magic in her writing, and she really brings it out in her comics, and in steven universe. But adventure time seems to need an ending.

Maybe this doesn't count, but Cartoon network in general? I mean, it just seems so lacking now a'days. I just can't see how shows like Jonny Test appeals to anyone, and I don't see why they cancelled shows like Symbiotic Titan. Or maybe I've just grown up too much to see what it offers....who am I kidding, I love cartoons.

I liked The Walking Dead for the first couple of seasons but after that I couldn't watch anymore. It was becoming so repetitive to me and most of the characters were beginning to annoy me.

I will never ever ever get over how terrible Heroes became after the first season it had so much potential.

Sword Art Online. I thought it was going to be cool with a strong female leader fighting alongside the main protagonist, but it just ended up with the classic damsel in distress and didn't focus enough on the actual completing of the game. There was too much love interest.

Spongebob and the Simpsons are the most obvious picks.
Simpsons has been going down hill since the 11th season, and Spongebob has been...meh after season 4.
Family Guy to extent, but at least it still entertains me better than the old seasons (Seasons 1-early 3) did.
South Park is still going strong.
Family OddParrents did after Poof was introduced...not a huge fan of the new dog they introduced.

Disney Channel itself has gone downhill since Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite life on deck, and Hannah Montana ended imo.

Crap, I forgot about Phineas and Ferb...that show is still still going..

 

[Cazqui]

Anything that goes on for 5+ years that didn't have a set story to begin with.

 

[Hyperpesta]

Eastenders.

 

[Maruchan]

Supernatural - it took the equivalent of a leap down the Reichenbach Fall since Season 6.

Yet, I am still remotely clinging on because of Cas, Crowley, Gabriel...AND DEATH <3

The Office went downhill when Steve Carell left.

Nickelodeon and disney. Spongebob and the other shows in general got worse around 2006- when i started to watch them. Although disney got worse when this stopped doing this, oddly enough:

I think i had been watching for maybe a year or 2 at that point? Because i only recognize harper from Wizards of Waverly place. And thats because that show lasted until 2012.
Maybe i just think this because i grew out of them. Uh, well, most of them. Gravity falls is still good.

I'd have to agree with this. I really like seasons 1-4, but struggled to watch the later seasons. I won't even comment on the final season or the last episode, I'll just say that it left MUCH to be desired and I walked away feeling annoyed that I had even bothered to watch the final season in the first place.

Just on the Family Guy thing, I feel like it stank when the brought it back after it got canceled the first time tbh.

Also, even though it's gone AGAIN, is Futurama. I loved it, loved those weird movies they did, loved the reboot, then the 2nd reboot = why. They pulled so many dumb lame nauseating jokes, it was like they said "lol yeah we know we're not going anywhere so we'll make offensive jokes freely", basically like Family Guy after it secured it's spot, American Dad, The Simpsons. Any of those animated shows.
Bob's Burgers teeters on the brink of falling into those pointlessly offensive cartoons. I liked it too, but once they gain their white boy bro audience and get their foot in the door it's all: whoop party over, everyone leave, nothing to see here.

It just ended, but HIMYM. The jokes leading up to the final season were getting stale and Ted was rather whiny- which got annoying. And then the series finale... like, seriously? That's an awful ending, imo. We wait around for all those seasons to meet the mother, and then you go and do that? It was rather disappointing.​

Haven. I love a good sci fi show, but this one, although was promising in the beginning, is running out of ideas.
