Twin Peaks. It was weird to begin with, and that was quirky fun, but it just piled on more and more "mystery" without answering the questions that were asked first.
Two shows that fell apart that I really enjoyed were moonlighting and northern exposure----but could have gone on to long runs, but didnt due to various factors.
What was the show recently about a nuclear attack on the USA but set entirely in a small town in Nebraska? It got cancelled and then came back after a major effort by the fans but then cancelled again. I think mostly because the writers veered off into this ridiculous conspiracy-storyline that just got more and more insane each week. I wanted to see a show about how people would genuinely cope in the aftermath with stories dealing with no electricity to cook with or handling illnesses/injuries, or how to get clean water for drinking and bathing, sharing resources, etc. The UK had a similar show with an epidemic wiping out the population but again, off into conspiracy-land that became a big snoozefest.
I think Carnivale went bad because it just got rushed toward the end. They knew they were canceled, so they scrambled to wrap up all the intricate storylines, and it was kind of a sloppy job.
I mentioned Deadwood going bad in another thread. I like to pretend it ended with the Season 2 finale. Season 3 got annoying, and then it abruptly ended.
Oh, I forgot my childhood favorite, Little House on the Prairie. It went along fine, through several cast changes, a move to the "big city" and then back to Walnut Grove. Always a nice heartwarming story that would bring a tear to your eye. But then Michael Landon left, it changed to Little House: A New Beginning. Then all they did was recycle storylines from the early seasons, complete with near-carbon copies of Laura and Nellie. Everyone seemed to adopt an orphan, whether they wanted to or not. Then they had a horrible finale that involved blowing up the whole town. I like to pretend it ended at about Season 8 (in my own little world.)
I enjoyed That 70's Show the first two seasons, after that it was no longer about the 1970's and not all that funny.
Could it just be that TV writers simply run out of ideas after a few seasons?
I loved the show and was glued to the tv the entire run, but there were some wacky twists going on there. I don't think it fell apart, but it was barely hanging together by a thread by the end. I still thought it was excellent though.
