Name TV Show's that seemed realistic when it first started but over the years turned unrealistic ???

Family Matters
NewsRadio

Family Matters



...and it only took 4 episodes!

Some people would make a case with Mr. Belvedere.

In the beginning, it was prety realistic, with Mr. B giving sage advice to the three kids, Kevin, Heather, and Wesley. But by the final season or so (ESPECIALLY the final season from 1989 to 1990), it REALLY became a cartoon. The fact that all three kids were growing up, and getting ready to move on with their lives, also didn't help (at least they didn't add a younger kid, though).

With that said, the show still had it's moments during those final seasons.

Even though I love all these shows, I would say:

Family Matters
The Beverly Hillbillies
The Andy Griffith Show
Green Acres (it was pretty much a cartoon from episode 1 but in a wonderful way!)
Boy Meets World (Eric! Eric! Eric!)
Married with Children
Reba
Roseanne
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
The Nanny

Once again, I love all these shows but I feel they took a turn into "cartoon land" in their last few seasons.

HAPPY DAYS starting with season 2

Married With Children
Night Court
The Beverly Hillbillies
Gomer Pyle USMC
Lost In space
Happy Days
Gilligan's Island

Naw Family Matters stayed somewhat realistic until season 3 thats when urkel started making useless inventions like Robo-nerd.

Sanford & Son started to turn into a real life cartoon by season 6 for example the episode where fred tells roger a false story about him being in the war.

Boy Meets World started in season 5 where cory is acting more goofy then he was in seasons 1-4, not only that but eric turned into a cartoon character by season 7 and he gained weight.

Two and a half men...I know that this current season 11 has not been announced as a final season but it might as well be.

Martin seemed more unrealistic than ever by season 5 Tisha Campbell quit the show because Martin Lawrence had the mind of a 13 year old lol.

ALF
FAMILY MATTERS
BEWITCHED
I DREAM OF JENNIE
SABRIAN TEEANGE WITCH

I don't know. In any case, I love cartoons! So I don't have a problem with that phenomenon.;) :) Most of these shows listed, I love all the way through. (Except for the few that I don't care about to begin with.)

The Big Bang Theory is becoming nothing more than a cartoon.

The Big Bang Theory is becoming nothing more than a cartoon.

That's because the show has been on the air for acouple years now the producers are running out of storyline plots it gets boring seeing 4 guys act crazy for nearly a decade lol

So many sitcoms have done this but my personal opinion is as follows:
Roseanne
Will and Grace
Ellen
Married With Children
Spin City
3rd Rock From the Sun

I agree on Roseanne, Family Matters, and Ellen.

What's Happening!!! also got silly in its final season, especially with the Rerun ABC page episode (which I admit was a favorite during reruns). And so did The Golden Girls. Rose's boyfriend Miles turned out to be on the run from the mob and it just didn't make sense. Blanche's character was dumbed down even more.
