[tVtRoPEs] Let's talk about shows which follow this particular trajectory

Show is good! Flawed but, on balance, enjoyable -> Show is shitty! But still fun to watch, mostly for the enjoyment of bitching about its many failings, with occasional glimmers of actual goodness -> ugh, fuck this show

It seems like there are a lot of things which do this!

Off the top of my head:

Glee

Battlestar Galactica

Bleach*

Why do shows do this? Am I right that these shows do this? Is this as particular a thing as I think it is, or is it just the perfectly normal arc for good shows turning into terrible shows? Is there anything at all to discuss here, or is this thread doomed to turn into a big circular jerking of people jerking in a circle? Who are these people, and what are they jerking, and why are they doing it in a circle? Whose hand do we expect to end up grabbing whose dick? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!!!

*a comic, but also a show! So it counts.
