TV shows that did not....
Discussion
....... peak in their first series in terms of quality.
Anyone know any?
I am generally thinking about TV shows that broken by by seasons of 12-24 episodes.
Having thought about all the TV shows I am have seen it is quite evidence they are usually the best at the start and slowly get worse.
Obviously there are a lot of reasons for this - most are obvious.
So the question is are there any shows that actually got better after season 1?
No spiolers though.

The Wire, to a degree. S1 was excellent, S2 was ok, but then it got better again.
The West Wing was consistently brilliant across the series, albeit with the odd duff episode at various points.
The Sopranos too.
Those are my next 3 series to watch list.The West Wing was consistently brilliant across the series, albeit with the odd duff episode at various points.

I am currently on the last season of DEXTER, which has started to wane unfortunatley.

MASH, Once they dropped the TV version of Frank and Margaret,which took till late series 3/early 4 then it got much better
Yes. Frank Burns was an exceptionally annoying character. Once he was replaced by Winchester, it improved immensely. To a certain extent, the same can be said of the arrival of Col. Potter.The Sopranos started off quite sedately and never really got into its stride until season 2. Once there, though, the quality never dropped off at all.
Only on Season 2 of The Wire and it doesn't feel like it is made for episodes. It feels like it's one long programme broken up into episodes. Bloody good though.
Many of my favourite TV series are all cancelled after season 1 or 2.
Firefly
Life
Journeyman
Threshold
Space : Above and Beyond
Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
I've heard that Terriers is good and am looking forward to it. Cancelled after one season, so I have high hopes. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Haven and Burn Notice.

Battlestar Galactica as has already been mentioned, just got better and better as it progressed to become the finest sci-fi tv ever made.
Babylon 5 peaked with season 3 (especially the episode Severed Dreams - which must have the greatest tv space battle ever!!). Then season 4 got better and better as the producers tried to fit in the whole of the season 5 story arc because they'd been told they had been cancelled!!
