From awesome to crap in one move

Heroes was good and then the second season hit and it never became good again and in fact at one point got to be one of the most annoying shows on TV.
In my mind, Heroes IS a 1 season show. I could almost forgive the 2nd season due the strike, but then I remember that Peter left his girlfriend in a nightmare future which he then averted and any hope for redemption vanishes instantly.The_Waspman said:
I also kinda wish Prison Break had ended on season 2 like was originally planned. Not that I didn't enjoy the hell out of the whole series (mainly because I loved seeing how they could put in about 3 cliffhangers per episode), but the overall plot did suffer massively for it, with season 3 being a meandering mess.
- Heroes: the first season was perfect. The series could have ended here and be totally satisfactory and it would still be remembered as some of the best things ever on TV
- Prison Break: after the escape it stops making much sense
- Lost: a very good first season was followed by a second one with new unlikeable characters and filler episodes

Not one move really, but Lost kinda went to crap near the end of the second season, i have only watched a few from the third
I think the show would be much better if there were no ''others'', it just feels so violently oppressive and hopeless/pointless, everyone on the beach are just potato sacks and everyone else is potato sacks being abused by the others

Couldn't agree with you more, although episode 24 (episode 5 of the second season) is my favourite episode of the whole thingJonluw said:
since Light retrieves his memory and his whole plan becomes clear after episodes and episodes of uninteresting 'good' Light. I remember watching it for the first time and being completely in awe
Don't get me started on Near...
Spoilers
Gurren Laggan goes a bit down hill. The second season starts off great, showing the changes in the world. People are becoming greedier, while Simon and team Gurren have to accept the consequences of their actions and must consider weather or not they have a place in the post war government.
Then the anti-spiral races are introduced and the show lost a lot of its appeal for me. They are just so boring compared to the beastmen and the Spiral King because they have absolutely no personality. The show just stops being as fun the first season and starts to take itself too seriously when it starts to tackle philosophy, and my god that bitter sweet ending pissed me off so much.

Didn't season 3 (of Heroes) ditch a lot of the characters it set up too? Maya was hastily written out, that black chick with the 'muscle memory' power vanished without an explanation...Hawk of Battle said:
Oh god, I've just remembered...
They completely (and non-sensically) retconned Niki's backstory. That made absolutely no sense. So she was part of a genetic engineering project and was one of three triplets? How the fuck did that work? We met her father in season one! It was a stupid explanation for introducing a new character, just to keep Ali Larter in the series.
On top of that, giving literally everyone super powers. Mohinder and Ando, really? Weren't they interesting purely because they didn't have super powers? Instead we get Spiderman and... wait, what powers did Ando get again?

Like I say, its a shame Heroes went south so horrifically, thinking about it now, I really really want to watch season one again.
Lost...
Ugh. I know the point when Lost, uh, lost it. And that was when...
the fucking island disappeared. Yup, just like that. In fact, if you search for it, you can find the extended cut of that episode. Right after the island disappears, a giant shark appears out of the disturbance, and then the Fonz jumps over it on water skis. Ugh, that show. Still haven't watched the final season. Doubt I ever will. And I did so love it when it started...
Desperate Housewives (yeah I know, shut up)
The first season with the mystery of why Mary Alice commited suicide very nicely balanced with the comedy moments and was genuinely good. After that they seemed to feel they had to keep hurling mysteries at the screen and it just never worked. Though I will say it got better after they ditched the mystery shtick.
If you like smoking related comedy OP that stayed good tried "The Smoking Room"? Delightful understated character driven black comedy

Just feel I have to chip in there. Soul Eater is still going on in manga form, the anime was just way too soon so they had to make a filler ending. The latest stuff has definitely changed from the beginning, but its a very gradual shift and doesn't feel bad.Rickolas Walrus said:
OT: Would have to say Eyeshield 21. Was really damn good, paced, funny, dramatic, until they finish what should be their final match. Then suddenly, the mangaka pulled a whole new arc out of NOWHERE, and ruined all that pacing by dragging it on for another 6 months to a year.
This is very true but my point was about the anime though. Probably should have specified, my bad. I knew that the two stories diverged after a while, but I've not read the manga so I'm entirely sure what's differentKushin said:
Family Guy became shit after Seth Macfarlane decided to stop using the show for comedy purposes and instead turned it into a vehicle for his Broadway career.
Digimon after season 2 (maybe 1 but wasn't that bad)
Naruto ...
DRAGON BALL Z ... Every single thing past Freeza.
Metroid after Prime.
Super Smash Bros (And most of Nintendo) after the Wii.
yadda yadda yadda ...
Console gaming after motion controls. We need work.

If I could just find a site that streamed Naruto without the filler, it'd be glorious.chadachada123 said:

Bleach, it started out great but the moment a foot was stepped into Soul Society it just morphed into a ball of rancid shit and has been rolling around gaining size and momentum like a snowball ever since.
