I will get hate for this but hear me out.
Sex education.
First two seasons were epic.
The third season they introduced a fully rainbow school that absolutely ruined the show. It turned into a challenge to tick every box at the same time instead of being a good tv show that had those topics as part of the story
I have no issues with the content, but it didn't feel like it was part of the show, it felt like a big giant participation award instead.
X-Files is kinda shit after Mulder is replaced by Dogget.
When it actually happened, I stopped watching it. Never seen bothered with an ep after that.
I have been a huge X-Files fan since the show was first released and I still have not seen the last few Dogget episodes because I just can't.
Stargate SG-1, Anubis. A very evil, evil-looking evil guy who is evil and did a bamboozle once. That's all the character depth he has.
Also Cam Mitchell, who is just a non-brand replacement for O'Neill (no offense to the actor).
Aw real bummed to see you say this. Cam did the best he could stepping into the shoes he was, and while he's no O'Neill, he grew on me. And I liked Anubis, too!
I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I can see every flaw people are saying as well. It's kind of my guilty pleasure.
2 1/2 Men: Multiple stages really.
Jake getting older and the addition of his friend.
Alan turned from a down on his luck guy to blundering comic relief. It has its funny moments, but there is a lot of cringe to be had in that change.
Replacement of Charlie with Ashton. I know the crazy behind it. That said, he makes it completely unwatchable. He doesn't carry nearly the same energy that Sheen does. The same dynamic doesn't exist between him and Alan, character wise.
They dialed Alan's blundering to 1000% after Charlie left.
Goddamn Felicity in Arrow pissed me off. That show grew to have a lot of problems, but she was an especially terrible part of it.
Yea, this for me as well. When season 3 started I felt the writing was off and kinda fell off for a while thinking I’d catch up later. Once I finally got around to it, the Arrow subreddit had completely morphed into a Daredevil sub as some kind of protest to just how bad it had gotten so I just never went back.
Not the addition of a character but a complete rewrite of a character on Police Cops. Max Power was such a dashing cool cop for the pilot but soon after they rewrote him to be a fat bumbling oaf....
Wasn't the cool cop named Homer Simpson in the pilot, who then became an idiot laughing stock, causing people also named Homer Simpson to change their name to Max Power, after a hairdryer?
And that's the end of that case.
Also wasn't he originally written as being independently wealthy? I think that aspect was also lost in the character transition.
Yup, from rich ladies man to slob, and he didn't even have the excuse of having kids! He had three money no kids!
Upvoted for the much appreciated Simpsons reference
Pointless baby/pregnancy every time!
this, Dexter season 3 in a nutshell
Even worse in Bones. Devoutly childfree woman becomes pregnant and then goes completely baby crazy. How insulting.
Did they at least point out that she had two sets of skeletons inside her? If not, missed opportunity for Bones
