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.

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

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

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.
