The final episode was pretty fun, but yeah, season 7 was weak.

Sealab 2021 should have died with Capt. Murphy.

Irish Joe posted:Cheers stayed good until the end of its run, but like most shows, it got more insular and ridiculous as time went on. It also leaned a little too heavily on the comic relief characters towards the end (think latter day Simpsons). Overall, I'd limit 'classic' Cheers to the first 3 seasons and label anything after that (seasons 4-11) as merely above average. This is exactly how I feel about it. Once Coach died, it lost a lot of heart, but stayed good til the end.

To me, the worst season was Five. A lot of the Sam/Diane stuff was terrible that season. Like her basically forcing him to propose. Season six rebounded hard and aside from becoming a little too cartoony, never had any real problems.

Cemetry Gator posted:Looking at Season 5 though, you still have a ton of great episodes, including Abnormal Psychology. Season five definitely had some amazing stuff, it's just all the Sam/Diane stuff outside of the John Cleese episode is bad to me. Rebecca was just being a creep and got Norm to help her get in the house so she could snoop. I just watched that one yesterday.

Alain Post posted:I was going to contest this for the later years of Frasier, but I forgot that there really was kind of a dead spot between about 2000 and 2004 (when Arrested Development premiered) After 9/11, when one of the creators died, I thought Frasier got better, like you could tell everyone started trying harder, in honor of him. Been awhile since I watched it, though, so I don't know.

Cemetry Gator posted:I think what really helped these shows is that they kept the characters from becoming parodies of themselves. They were smart shows that always maintained a baseline of quality. I kind of agree, but at the same time, I don't really think they ever did a truly bad episode. Part of that may be nostalgia from that hour block A&E did with Night Court and Newsradio back-to-back I watched as a kid, though. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Irish Joe posted:Nolan North has a good "NPR voice" as heard in video game Destiny so he'd be cool for Cosmos. This made me laugh.

Monk is really weird for me, because I liked about half of every season, and completely despised the other half. No real way of knowing, episode to episode, which way it would go.

Shadow posted:that's pretty much why I stopped watching. you can only pull that so many times before it gets old. it was a good show but it probably should have gone for the 5 season standard. Craig T. Nelson did it, I think.

I liked when Tom Scharpling announced on The Best Show that Monk has died of natural causes by now. That made me laugh.
