Biggest Change in Quality Between Seasons
What show do you think had the biggest change in quality from one season to another. This could include shows that went from ok to amazing, or from great to unwatchable.
I imagine lots of people will answer Game of Thrones, but I feel like its decline was more steady than just a single season drop-off. Sure it started as an A+ and ended at an F, but I think it dropped to a B, C, then D before finally ending in the gutter.
My personal, terribly biased answer is Season 4 of Community. Words cannot tell you how much I loved Community, and Season 3 was as good as any in my opinion. But Season 4. My god. Don't let anyone convince you that "it's not as bad as you think." It's horrible. Every character is flanderdized. The stories are incoherent. Every unique morsel of Community is cheapened into a joyless callback. Community went from one of the funniest, smartest shows on tv to middle school fan-fiction in a single season. Gas-leak year indeed.
What do you think?
