same?

For me it was Welcome Back Kotter, after season 1 they were toned down and the show was never the same again

Hangin with Mr. Cooper, very solid first season great cast and then after season 1 they add ******** Raven Samone. The End

"8 Simple Rules" - for obvious reasons

"Rhoda" - the 2nd season was alright but it lost some of its steam every year

In my opinion, I liked Full House better in season 1 than any others because Michelle didn't talk yet

. That's mean, I know. I was watching reruns latley and Michelle is just very annoying to me and in fact, everybody but Danny was annoying to me. Steph wasn't so bad either. Solomon, why do you haet Raven so much? Just out of curiousity.

I don't hate her, I hate the ******** roles she played on Cosby Show and Hangin with Mr. Cooper.

Prime example. The first season was genius.

I usually find in most shows, especially sitcoms, that the first season is usually the worst, because it is when the shows are still trying to find themselves and establish their own identity. I always find the first season for a lot of shows to be very rocky and not as interesting as the later ones. So this, to have a better first season, is pretty rare, in my opinion.

Mork And Mindy

I think that the first season (the CBS version) of Charles In Charge was far and away the best of the five seasons. Even though I like seasons two and three (and a little of season four) there was just a sweetness to the series and an intelligence in the writing that was missing in the syndicated version. I think the show was really dumbed down for the syndicated version.

I agree with Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, and also Mork & Mindy. What was ABC thinking??

I totally agree. Season two for me was okay, but season one was the best. It got downright silly towards the end.

I agree with Mork & Mindy and 8 Simple Rules. Also there was My Wife and Kids, I think season one was the best. Season 2 to me was okay, but after that, it was just ridiculous.

FH was very good during its first year. DJ looked cute then and Steph, too. Hangin' with Mr. Cooper was also a joy pre-raven.

Mork & Mindy --- too many changes after Season 1
8 Simple Rules --- for obvious reasons
The Monkees --- excellent first season, so-so second which lacked the spontanaiety and excitement of the first
Desperate Housewives --- characters and storylines became less interesting
Hope & Faith --- after Season 1, they changed the theme song and the eldest daughter, both of which I quickly began to dislike
MASH --- as the cast kept changing, the series took on a more dramatic tone. All of the slapstick and general buffoonery which made the first 2 seasons fun to watch slowly disappeared. It was all downhill from then on.
All In The Family --- As Archie got tamer, the show got lamer.
