Default What show never declined in quality?

I would say friends 100% or maybe Family Guy.

Friends definitely declined in quality? Seasons 9/10 were dire compared to the earlier years.

I’d say breaking bad was consistently good and arguably Game of Thrones too, 3 bad episodes out of 73 is pretty good going

Disagree on both, though friends was still watchable even in decline

Fawlty Towers
The Office (UK) (can't comment on the american version)
Extras
Fleabag
Beautiful People
Queer as Folk (UK)

aka anything with no more than 2 series

But as for longer-term shows... Breaking Bad, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Black Mirror if you take Bandersnatch out of the equation...

Frasier is my favourite show of all time but the last season and a half were very visibly hit by the lost of the show's creators in 9/11, sadly but still love those episodes.

How can any Friends fan hand-on-heart say it didn't decline? The final couple of seasons were not up to scratch at all. Same for The Office US - if you consider "the end" to be when Steve Carell left then it's perfect start to finish. But the final few seasons without him - again while they have their moments, and I still enjoy them - are not the same quality. Happens with a lot of shows really.

I agree on the bolded ones BUT I don't think you can really count South Park or Always Sunny... they're still airing new episodes, you can't say a show didn't decline until it's finished.

I'd almost agree on The Inbetweeners but being totally honest, while S3 has its moments it isn't quite as funny as 1 & 2.

Breaking Bad I 100% agree... and also it was SO steady. Some shows get better and better but Breaking Bad literally started excellent, and was excellent right through to the finale.

The quality of Friends did decline slightly towards the end but there’s still some great episodes in the last few series. It’s still very watchable now so it’s close to being perfect.

I agree with Smithy that Game of Thrones was pretty consistent if we ignore the last three episodes however spectacular they looked.

Gavin and Stacey is another I’d say was consistent
