"TWO & A HALF MEN"-worst-the sexual humor and jokes, and the sex scenes

"MASH"-worst-after the 3rd seanon, making it "THE ALAN ALDA SHOW" and not keeping it the way it was in those first 3 seasons.

"THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW"-worst-continuing it after Don Knotts left.

Diff'rent Strokes
HIGHS: The show found it's ground from S3-S6
LOWS: The last two seasons w/ Sam and Maggie, was very abysmal in S8 when it moved to ABC to the point where it was almost unwatchable.

Barney Miller
HIGHS: Most of everything after S1.
LOWS: The show lost some of its humor once Jack Soo died, but I continued to watch the show.

The Simpsons
HIGHS: Most of everything
LOWS: Some eps. of the current seasons seem like caricactures of previous seasons at times.

Adamantium · 08-10-2008, 12:48 PM

The Best:
The friendship of the Ricardos and the Mertzes.
All those years of classic comedy.

All the vacations past the Hollywood trip.

Family Affair
The Best:
Seeing Bill Davis and Mr. French grow as "parents" and their love for the children.
All the great comical, yet dramatic storylines.

The Worst:
The producers trying to keep Jodie and Buffy little kids throughout the whole run.

Sliders
The Best:
The wonderful chemistry between the cast.

The manner in which the characters exited the show.

THE COMMISH
Best: good character development and balance between family and crime drama

USATVFAN · 08-10-2008, 06:33 PM

Three's Company
Best: Just about everthing even getting rid of Chrissy

Friends
Best:The Writing, The Cast, The Character and The Storylines
Worst: Rachel having a Baby

megamanj2004 · 08-11-2008, 01:27 AM

GOOD TIMES:
GOOD: Great emsemble cast, great plots, and great theme song
LOWS: Focusing the show too much on J.J. and his antics in later seasons

HUNTER:
GOOD: Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer's excellent job in keeping the show together for 6 solid seasons...until...
LOWS: Stepfanie Kramer left and they replaced her w/ the lady that played Molenski (eventually killed off) and Novak (who I liked far better than Molenski). Also, the 1st season looked a lot like a cracked out version of The A-Team, especially evident in the fact that the bad guys' cars were taken from The A-Team, in that both shows were done by Stephen J. Cannell.
