What show never declined in quality?

[reecejackox]

I would say friends 100% or maybe Family Guy.

[Kate!]

Breaking Bad, if anything it’s one of the very few shows that got better

Family guy is shocking now Tf are you talking about

[Jake.]

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

[Smithy]

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

[Oliver_W]

I only like seasons 4-6 of Friends tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

seinfeld

mash

curb

taxi

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

[Epic.]

Breaking Bad
Futurama
South Park
Frasier
Seinfeld
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Father Ted, Fawlty Towers and The Inbetweeners lmao

aka anything with no more than 2 series :laugh:

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.

[Strictly Jake]

Gavin and Stacey

[Denver]

Royle Family if based on series alone although I enjoyed all the specials.

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.

Breaking Bad
Futurama
South Park
Frasier
Seinfeld
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Father Ted, Fawlty Towers and The Inbetweeners lmao

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.

[Glenn.]

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

[Babayaro.]

Definitely this

[LaLaLand]

POSE seems to be getting better and better as time goes on [imo].

[Alf]

One foot in the Grave, remained a genius, Masterpiece for its entire six series.

I have to disagree with that... the quality dipped noticeably after S4, BUT it was still one of the best shows on TV. It just ended like a car crash. However, despite still being GREAT telly through most of its run, 4 - 8 just never hit the highs of 1 - 4. It's especially obvious if you go back and watch S1/2 again right after watching 7/8.

Well I have to disagree with YOU! the grandness and overall epicness was upped and kept being upped.

Black Mirror definitely peaked with S3 it’s been on the down slide since then

[Smithy]

Oh Schitts Creek, it’s got better with each season

[Jake.]

Yeah I was gonna mention this

[Jake.]

Keeping Up Appearances was v consistent but then I guess it would be given that each episode isn’t all that different from the last

[Mystic Mock]

I think that most shows normally take a hit in quality as they get older.

The only exceptions for me are probably Star Trek: DS9, Farscape, and Parks & Recreation.

Yes even the three Gods in BSG, Dexter, and GOT took a hit for me personally.

I actually liked the ending of BSG. I know it got a lot of hate but I thought it ended fairly well. The final season of Dexter was TRASH... not even a gradual decline for Dexter... it was great until that last season and then it fell off a cliff. I mean, not as badly as GOT's "The Bells", but pretty darned close.

The Office UK was brilliant throughout.
Friends was great and I think as they grew into their characters it just got better and better imo.
