Probably won’t be a popular opinion but It’s Always Sunny was one of my all-time favorite shows and, I don’t know, after about season 10 or 11, it started to feel less funny. It still has some amazing recent episodes but the earlier seasons were perfect.

The pathetic manga section at my local library in my hometown of the rural United States had volumes of Dragon Ball going up only until the end of the Frieza saga.
Since in the late '90s and early 2000s I had no reasonable way to get the rest of them (since internet had not yet come to that little village), I considered that to be the end of the series.
Now that I know everything that comes after, I maintain that the end of the Namek story arc is a sensible and satisfying endpoint for the series, and everything after that seems like it's being drawn on for far too long and is unnecessary.
Same goes for Naruto up until the end of the Chuunin tournament arc.
Virtually all of them that went beyond four seasons.
Murdoch Mysteries. The last few seasons have been pretty rough.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The first 10 or so seasons were perfection. The last few have been their worst.
Sesame Street.
We get it. Burt and Ernie are just "friends". Oscar is a "grouch" because people treat his home like trash. Big Bird in an unhomed youth forced to sleep in an alley on some twigs that he uses for a bed. It's a damn soap opera.
I mean, come on.
"This show is so predictable! How about you try some fucking prime numbers Count?!" -That's you, hate watching sesame street in an adult diaper in front of your mom's tv
ha! Jokes on you. I paid for the TV.
One piece
Rick and Morty and Stranger Things for sure, especially as these had their absolute hype eras
House went on too long
Pretty Little Liars. It was always a "guilty pleasure" show, but by the end, my friends and I were just "hate watching" it, begging for it to end.
Archer. Has that finally ended?
Stranger things. Community. The office. Letterkenny. Rick and Morty.... Actually i think most of them that reached the 4 season mark
Letterkenny
You take that back right now! If it wasn't for Shoresy I'd be inconsolable
Edit: The more I think about it, the more I think you are probably right. I just have a really hard time letting go
As far as I'm concerned Rick and Morty can go on forever. Community though... Yeah you know it's been too long when you basically repeat episodes. After paintball 2 I was out.
Almost every successful US TV show runs at least one season too long. Any time they lose key cast members, or decide to go on just because of success, the quality has dropped in my opinion.
Non-US that succumbed to the same was Coupling. Last season was horrible.
Many anime, but Naruto (Shippuden) is my personal icing on the cake. The manga itself was already stretched out and the awful amount of fillers in the anime, especially towards the end, gave me a lot of headache.
Supernatural. I know it supposedly gets better with the latter seasons, but I binged straight through and I burned out around season 11 or 12. The angel espionage shenanigans were weird. The whole good brother evil brother flip flop is a bit overplayed. Meant to pick it back up but never did.
Didn't Kripke intend for that to end after season 5?
I've tried, think I made as 10.5, first 5 are legitimately excellent though.
Yes. He only wrote the first 5. He's in the credits of the rest as an executive producer but I don't know the extent of his involvement.
I stopped watching during the episode where they travel back to the old west
Stranger Things :( The first season was absolutely perfect. The plot is all over the place and those kids are grown adults now lol let it die
Sadly I agree. If the seasons were shot closer together it would have been a better situation.
The first season is amazing. I still enjoy the rest of the series although the multi year gaps in filming isn’t helping things. Nine years to get to season five in a show that mainly stars school age actors is unfortunate.
Final season is scheduled for this year so the end is close.
This show still goes on? LOL
I've been rewatching it because I finally caught up over the last couple weeks.
It's so weird to go from the kids being tiny actual children, to damn near 6' tall grown-ass men with deep voices and they're still trying to be like 15 years old.
That said it's still pretty good, but I'm mostly interested in the paranormal/sci-fi stuff at this point. Also Argyle in season 4 is absolutely hilarious.
The last season (4?) was pretty good.
Rick and Morty. I enjoyed the first 3/4 seasons and then in season 4, it just stopped being what it was for me. I can’t really describe why but I lost interest and haven’t gotten back. Losing Justin Roiland cemented that too. Not saying he should’ve stayed, just not having him on anymore made me further lose interest even if he wasn’t providing much to the content of the stories. I know that I would be constantly focused on how that’s not him anymore behind the voices and it would be distracting for me.
I really liked the show and enjoyed the humor. Being a fan of sci-fi, adult cartoons, and comedy all coming together like that was something I appreciated like Futurama or Venture Bros. I did cringe at a lot of the fan base, but I liked the show for what it was.
