Which shows that you watch or have watched started out great, but by the end of their series, flopped? (Most TV shows probably fit this category).
To start off, I'll list Heroes.

Jake and the Fat Man.
Loved that show.
Men Behaving Badly.
I loved that show then half the cast got pissed and left and then it sucked.
Also, Titus. Titus was badass then Christopher Titus and Fox got into a knockdown dragout brawl and the show just ended.
Norm was awesome. Norm MacDonald just might be the funniest human being to ever live but he cant keep a TV show to save his life.

"Police Squad!" was a TV series in the early 1980s that was the forerunner to the Naked Gun movies. It bombed in the ratings and was shut down after a few episodes. The producers reasoned that tv audiences were too distracted in the home to notice many of the sight gags. In a movie theatre, however, the audience paid full attention so the jokes worked better.
A true story is that the "Nordberg" character was played on the tv series by a white guy who looked more like a male model than a cop. The studio suggested he be replaced by O.J. Simpson and in one of those odd foreshadowing comments told the producers they wanted O.J. in the role because they thought he "looked like he could kill somebody if he had to". That's how a black man wound up with a Swedish name in a movie.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
loved Chase, and I think it was called Mad Love? had the kid from amertcan pie and the girl from scrubs. both ended quick but i liked them
Thanks MasterShake!!!
Mad Love was pretty good. Heroes was awesome...and then the writers apparently started dropping acid and it went to shit really fast
I really enjoyed Heroes, until they did what Coach suggested. Too bad, too.
Another one to the list is Ally McBeal. I really enjoyed the shows I did watch, back in the 90's when it first aired. I didn't watch it past the third season and forgot why, so I've been watching it on Netflix. Now I know. The fourth season was okay and the fifth is like beating a dead horse.

The biggest decline from original to spin-off; "After MASH." As funny as the original "MASH" was, "After MASH" was boring.

Heroes was a great example.
Battlestar Galactica (the new one) is another. The writing for the first two seasons was FANTASTIC. The writers were brilliant in there insights as to how religion with the cyborgs and the ties with greek mythology. Truly brilliant.
Then, they must have fired all the writers or something, because it fell off a cliff.

Lights Out on FX. Former Heavyweight Champion comes out of retirement. Great show, dark, gritty, superb acting. Cant understand why it didn't make it....

Traffic Light. Premiered last year. I thought it was really funny, but it didn't get any ratings and Fox cancelled it.
That being said, everybody Watch Community every week. One of the funniest shows on TV, and its in danger of getting canceled.
I got mind control while I'm here
You goin' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood clot and no fear
I got hope inside of my bones
Oh and The mother****in' Office.
I liked the Sarah Conner Chronicles, even though Fox made it.
