It went downhill...

I don't think there's really a show that ended as strong or even stronger than it started, at least not when there was more than 1 season.

Here, I have to go with One Tree Hill, which started as a (usual) Teendrama, but well written und yes, there were even some differences to other shows (like the Teen-marriage and the triangle that was - at first - stopped to save the friendship. There's no other triangle in which the cheater chose the friendship over love!).

The first three seasons were great, touching, heartbreaking, lovely, sweet... well written for the most storylines.

But ... when TheWB became TheCW it got really weird. No Season without a psycho anymore. The characters - especially the guys - became douches and sure, every single girl wants a husband and babies. Not to mention how they completely ruined their triangle! It became the worst triangle I've ever seen on a TV Show, and lets be honest, there's barely a show without a triangle.

Some storylines were horribly disrespectful to the fanbase IMO and some were just ridiculously stupid (dog eating heart?!).

So all in all I have to say, I should have stopped watching after Season 4 (which was the first TheCW Season and the beginning of the end...)

I actually never followed OTH but since some of our mutual friends were huge fand I did hear a bit about it.Even without knowing that show I def agree that it's so disrespectful to the fands when things change and become totally OTT. It's best to just end everything instead of taking the show downhill, imo.
In fact BH 9021 also aired on WB but it was before it turned into the CW ;)

I would have to agree I loved OTH and dodn't miss any of the episodes I even starting watching them on the internet as they take a while to get to the UK. I got bored of it all after the first 3 seasons and didn't mind missing episodes. Then when Lucas and Peyton left it kind of lost the point of the show as it was about the brothers that was the wrong reason behind the show. I am kind of wathing the last series at the moment but I have missed a few and I am a little confused so much going on I do not know what is going on. There is so many new characters, which you do have to bring into a show but somehow that has just made it annoying to me. I will watch the ending just to see wat happens and then that is a other show over, which I used to love.
