Are there any shows that have turned in their best seasons in 8+? 24 just had its best season, though the format change and time off probably helped a lot there. Supernatural's 8th season was probably tied with the 5th as the best in my opinion.

The Simpsons did a few more after 7 before it started going downhill.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is in it's 10th season, and while opinions about which season is best often vary, I don't think anyone would claim that any of the seasons after 8 are bad. In fact, most agree that the show somehow just keeps getting better and funnier.

I don't know about best season after 7, but Sunny's been consistently great for like 9 years. e: God damnit. VDay fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Season 8 of Naruto: Shippuden (which is technically the 13th season of the Naruto franchise) is often cited as being a high water mark for the series and includes dozens of amazing sequences such as the beginning of Pain's Animal Path body; Naruto finding an alternate method to enter sage mode; and Nagato recalling his first two moments of pain.

That's cheating though, because by season 8 they only have 6 episodes.

I saw it. It's like a PG-13 version of Game of Thrones but it does have boobs. And I guess GoT is based on the wars of the roses in the first place.

Sherlock season 3 was fun to watch, but then if you thought about it for more than 5 minutes your opinion of it will likely just drop, because you remember Moffat is gonna Moffat. Only the wedding episode from season 3 was any good in any sense of the word.

I know we're usually all "Uh, no it's the same as always" to people who ask "Does it seem like there are way more commercials now" but it turns out they're right Also, per Bendis, you will be able to watch Powers on the PS Store through any browser. zoux fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Sleeveless posted:Season 3 of Sherlock is probably the most my opinion of a show has dropped in the least amount of time. From what I can tell, many, many British shows have an absolutely amazing first season, then completely lose their poo poo in season 2/3. For example, of shows I've seen - Misfits - Sherlock - Downton Abbey - Waterloo Road - Life on Mars - Broadchurch (only 4 episodes into S2 and just a horrific mess of a show) Some exceptions - Blackadder - Foyle's War - Peep Show - Mitchell and Webb Look
