Yong Fang 03-09-2018, 06:09 AM Star Trek The Next Generation comes to mind. The opposite of "Jumping the Shark" is "Growing a Beard". howilu 03-09-2018, 09:59 AM Happy Days improved a lot when Fonzie became more popular. stevea 03-09-2018, 10:10 AM The Mary Tyler Moore Show improved after the first few seasons. In fact, I remember, when a local station reran the series many years ago, they skipped the first three seasons. bmasters9 03-09-2018, 12:04 PM Barney Miller certainly improved after its first season-and-a-half, and stayed in a groove during the rest of its run on ABC all the way to 1982. PhoenixAcres 03-09-2018, 06:37 PM Definitely Green Acres. After the first seasons it became much more clever and funny. Babalu 03-09-2018, 08:24 PM Happy Days improved a lot when Fonzie became more popular. Happy Days, like The Odd Couple, improved when the show began filming in front of a live audience. Both were created and produced by Garry Marshall. 70s show watcher 03-09-2018, 08:57 PM i tthink the brady buch got better after its first season treky 03-10-2018, 01:04 AM Treky, you're back! back from where? I never went anywhere; I've always been here! You must be thinking of someone else. treky 03-10-2018, 01:13 AM Happy Days, like The Odd Couple, improved when the show began filming in front of a live audience. Both were created and produced by Garry Marshall. yea, he got the idea to do H D that way from O C. However, I don't agree about H D. That's when it "Jumped the shark" Retro4Life 03-10-2018, 11:01 AM Star Trek: DS9, Homicide: Life on the Street, Barney Miller, NYPD Blue. Honestly, I think most successful shows improve after their first year, when they are just figuring out what will work and what won't. Impressions 03-10-2018, 12:42 PM The Facts of Life, for obvious reasons. icecream 03-11-2018, 05:28 PM Monk improved when Natalie replaced Sharona. Benson improved when Clayton Endicott replaced Taylor at the start of season 2. Dragnet improved when Harry Morgan was made Jack Webb's partner in the color episodes. Star Trek: Voyager was a big improvement when Seven of Nine replaced Kes in season 4. Heartland improved when Georgie was made a regular. Blue Bloods improved when Baez and Jenko were made Danny and Jamie's partners. Law and Order really improved when Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston were made the stars. tlc38tlc38 03-11-2018, 05:46 PM I like seasons 1 & 2 of "Mama's Family" for different reasons but seasons 3-6 were much more enjoyable. tlc38tlc38 03-11-2018, 05:47 PM Definitely Green Acres. After the first seasons it became much more clever and funny. Yes. This show got better with each season. It got more absurd and ridiculous, in a good way. tlc38tlc38 03-11-2018, 05:49 PM The Jeffersons: The show got considerably better when Florence became a prominent character. Newhart: seasons 1 & 2 had their moments but the show really picked up in season 3. AMackII 03-11-2018, 06:48 PM The Partridge Family became even better when Brian Forster joined the cast During the seasons 2 & 3 of Three’s Company, Joyce Dewitt had an perm look then Don Knotts(of The Andy Griffith Show fame) join the show by Season 4 while Richard Kline became a regular cast member |
