TV seasons that shouldn't have existed

Cop Rock. And Manimal.

 

My big ones have been mentioned on here (Veronica Mars season 3, Gilmore Girls Season 7 -- the main reason I don't like this was because most of the storylines are recycled from previous seasons -- the Dukes of Hazzard season without Bo and Luke). Huge fan of Will and Grace but the last two and a half seasons make me cringe.

How I Met Your Mother after season 5 is starting to get into this category. Season 6 had some good moments (everything with Marshall's dad) but most of it was garbage and 7 was even worse.

Another one of my favorites, 8 Simple Rules, probably should have ended at the end of season 2. Show just never had the same spark after John Ritter died.

 

I agree with Norrin about Alias seasons 3-5.
Most of the last two seasons of Seinfeld.
NYPD Blue after Bobby died (most of it).
Mad About You after the baby was born.
Last several seasons of CSI: Miami.

 

Whatever season Hayden Fox left Minnesota State to coach an expansion NFL team in Florida on "Coach" was a disaster.

 

I think you and I and a lot of viewers were disappointed in the fairly anticlimactic ending of Heroes season 1. I choked down season 2 because the writer's strike made it difficult for most shows to regain (or find) their legs. But season 3... well, damn.

 

The last 3-4 seasons of MASH, when the characters all had 1970s haircuts, for example. And preachy? Lord!

They did kind of pull it together for the finale. Kind of.

 

Ahhh, don't tell me that! I'm just getting into this show. I think I'm in late season 4.

 

Although the character was voiced by the great Harvey Korman, the Great Gazoo epsiodes of 'The Flintsones' just don't measure up.

 

And the Scrappy Doo period of 'Scooby Doo' was an abomination.

 

Yep, I had to Google Tiva.

 

I'd like to, um, Google the "iva" part of that.

 

Spot on, this.
