    Walking Dead S5 > 4 > 1 > 3 > 2

    Walking Dead's gotten better as its progressed because they finally managed to balance character development/plot and pure action pretty well. They always had the atmosphere down, but they used to rely heavily on characters making dumb decisions over and over to advance the plot and spur action, which resulted in a lot of pacing issues. Other than this last week's episode, there really hasn't been any filler lately.

    Seasons 1 and 2 were GOATLY. Season 3 was pretty good and then it just went to absolute h--- to say the least. Literally the worst television I've ever seen. It redeemed itself to an extent with a not so bad final season but at that point the damage was done. What a shame, too.

    Weeds. Seasons 1-3 were so d--- promising, and then it went completely downhill. 4 & 5 were so bad, and I watched half of 6 (which was a slight improvement) but gave up on it anyways.

    Smallvile. I watched 4 seasons I think and it started becoming a joke.

    X-Files. I loved it until Duchovny left. I think I watched 3 episodes with the other guy and then stopped.

    I'm glad they ended Rescue Me when they did, it started going slightly downhill in the last 2, maybe 3 seasons.

    Think an obvious one if the Walking Dead, if it hasn't already been mentioned

    Robert Patrick was an amazing addition to The X-Files. Unfortunately, the stories he got to be a part of left a lot to be desired.

    Definitely agree, the storylines in the post-Mulder episodes are way more of an issue than the characters. Takes a little adjustment simply because it's not the people you're used to, just a shame about iffy writing. Still a godly show and in my top 5 OAT.

    Community was great for 3 seasons but 4 and 5 were mediocre to terrible.
