Shows that were better during the second season. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Shows that I liked better during the second (or later) season are:

Charlie's Angels (I liked the show best with Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, and David Doyle).

Charles in Charge

The Facts of Life

The Steve Harvey Show

Cagney and Lacey

1-800-Missing (I liked the show best with Vivica A. Fox and Mark Conselous).

I think a better question would be which ones are better during the FIRST season because I think most shows don't hit their stride until later

But some big examples in my opinion of shows that got better in the second or later season:

The Office (season 2)
Happy Days (season 3)
I Dream of Jeannie (season 2)

I've watched it since the beginning, but I think The Big Bang Theory got better during the second season.

The Odd Couple - Once they started doing the show in front of a live audience it got so much better.

Ellen - Although season 3 is the best in my opinion, season two is a lot better than the first "These Friends of Mine" season.

I forgot about I Dream of Jeannie and Happy Days. Those shows did, indeed, get better during the second (or later) season. I agree with you on that.

The Bob Newhart Show AND Newhart both improved by leaps and bounds in their second seasons.

I think that nearly all the sitcoms become better after the first season!
That's beacuse characters chemistry is improved, and you knew them a little more... that makes situations and jokes funnier!

ps. sorry guys for my English, hope you understand what I said!

"Perry Mason"is a prime example of a show that got better as time went on. I did NOT care for the first season very much,but from second season on(1958-1959)to the end(1965-1966)was great.

comedyfreak · 06-17-2010, 05:47 AM

I'm going to add Barney Miller to the mix definately better season 2 on.

Cheers - after they moved to the emmy-winning Thursday night, it became so much better

Family Ties - even though S1 was good, most of the better episodes came in S2 and beyond
