Beverly Hillbillies--B/W episodes were great color not so much
Good Times--After John Amos was fired it went downhill fast limped along for 3 more years
The Waltons--Show was declining but Will Geer's death really hurt.
All in The Family--it was already trending down but Mike and Gloria moving west accelerated the demise
Laverne and Shirley--moving west in an attempt to pump new blood into show failed
MASH--Huge fan but they set the bar very high in the early years and many of the later shows could not meet it
Hill Street Blues--first 4 seasons were great, groundbreaking for a police show. Don't know if they changed writers but show very different after S4
Dallas--Bobby's Death/dream season; really?
Cheers--even though ratings remained strong and some very good episodes, the last 2 years were not "up to par" from previous years
