    Eastbound and Down went on a season too long.

    I tried season one and couldn't get through it. I thought the main character was an unlikable idiot

    Arrested Development should have gone longer originally but never should have done seasons 4 and 5 ten years after the fact.

    I like the Office until Michael leaves, though I thought the finale was perfect, love how they handled Dwight and Angela.

    Lost would have been better had they cancelled it after season 3 and left everyone with a million questions, rather than doing season 4 and 5 and leaving everyone with a million questions.

    The first three seasons of Arrested Development were near-perfect for me. Season four sucked, and I've never seen season 5...Always wondered what uninterrupted subsequent seasons would have looked like...

    The first three seasons of Arrested D are as close to comedic perfection as you can get in the TV format.
    I hear this all the time, and yet it got cancelled. I've never watched. Too awkward and cringey for me to stomach. Same with The Office.

    100% all of this. I missed AD when it was on Fox, watched it on DVD, loved it, got excited for Season 4, binged it in one day, hated it. Never watched an episode of season 5.

    No show was better written than Arrested Development seasons 1-3.

    It was absolutely brilliant. It takes a couple episodes to figure out the subtleties but once it clicks it's amazing.

    I thought that until I went back to seasons 8 and 9 again. I think Robert California was under appreciated. They could have done more with him, I think his weirdness and intimidation of Andy made season 8 pretty damn funny. They could have ran with that for another season or two. When California leaves is when it got really bad. Season 9 was horrible, and the finale is the only saving grace. Dwight and Angela had a great arc completion, but Jim and Pam's shit got old fast. They also ruined Ryan's character throughout the show, it got so bad that season 9 was helped with him off of it until the finale.
    Good call on Ryan. I didn't hate Robert California as much as some did though I wouldn't call myself a fan. The redheaded British woman in season 9 or whenever she popped up was the fucking worst.

    How has no one said Game of Thrones? Never watched it but it seems the nerds all hated the last couple seasons.

    I mentioned it in the OP.

    And don’t knock dragon cock until you’ve tried it.

    I never watched Arrested D on Fox, kept seeing the re runs pop up on FX, finally watched one (the pilot), and got hooked partially because the boat scene on Balboa was filmed on a booze cruise boat that we rented the night before our wedding..."look, honey, that's the garbage can Tim puked in!"...the writing and on-going gags were brilliant

    The last two seasons of sons of anarchy are awful but you’re so invested at that point it’s hard not to see it through.

    Mad men should have ended a season earlier.

    Currently watching billions and I think it too has gone a season too long.

    7-11. Stat. I will FUCKING fight you over this blasphemy.

    @RaceBannon will be my second. Pistols. 10 steps, fire.

    Robert California was funny as hell. He was the only thing saving the show for a while there.

    Disagree on GOT. The issue with GOT was they tried to condense like 5 seasons into 2 for the ending.

    Exactly. GOT went a little too slow early, repeatedly rushed things to try and catch up (like when Stannis saves the day at the wall or the conclusion of the battle of the bastards), and eventually threw in the towel and rushed through two whole seasons.

    They either needed to go faster and narrow the scope early on, or let it run its course over about 12 seasons.

    Office was great for four or five seasons. It got dumb at times after they got married. It was watchable but mediocre at times.

    Animal Kingdom is probably going to suck this year. Go ahead and kill smurf off but there's not going to be much of a show without her.

    LOST is the original GOT

    First two seasons were damn near perfect television.

    The Office really struggled for me post Michael. He made everything go IMO.
