A good story can transport you to another world. It can make you forget your troubles and take you on adventures that you didn't even think were possible. However, crafting a compelling narrative is no easy feat.

Take television shows for example. Even those that start off strong can gradually lose their luster, leaving fans feeling disappointed. So let's give credit where credit is due.

Recently, a person on Reddit made a post, asking everyone on the platform which TV series never had a dip in quality, and the community delivered. From long-running sitcoms to short-lived dramas, here are some of the most popular responses.

One of the most heart wrenching moments in season 4 is Hugh Laurie's character saying "Sir, I'm scared" in the last episode. That sudden switch from excitement and bravado implying he's just been putting on a brave face all along. And the boys are carrying clubs instead of guns because they might as well be. The last episode makes me cry every time.

The first series gets a bad rap but while not reaching the peaks of the other series, it has quite a few good moments (Miriam Margolyes as the Spanish Infanta springs to mind)

No one yet has mentioned Ben Elton as the main writer. He writes incredible novels too, not always humour. As an author, he really makes me think. Although I'm not sure he will ever top Blackadder. :]

    I'm a Twilight Zone junkie. Rod Serling was THE most visionary TV producer I have ever known. So many of his stories came to pass. And the actors -- OMG. Everybody who was anybody back then was in one or more episodes and they were ALL spectacular. I can even lip sync some of the famous lines, like: "What makes you think this is heaven, Mr. Valentine. This IS the 'other place' ! Mwahahahahaaaaaaa!" (Sebastian Cabot)

    Rod Serling understood what I call "crowd control." He could work wonders around one person, two people, three people, or a crowd. You would never watch an episode and wonder, "Okay, what's with the 10 extras?" or "What is he/she trying to say, exactly?"

    Fox messed up the episode sequence and it became confusing. This caused the viewing figures to drop and Fox cancelled the show. Joss Whedon got very angry at their stupidity, so he wrote firefly to destroy any and all story arcs and stopping any further development dead so that Fox would not be able to bring the show back and refused to continue it on any other channel just so the blame would rightfully fall on Fox for killing a great TV series

    I agree. The Comedy Central seasons had a different sense of humor. Less absurd and more basic slapstick.

    They were cancelled due to th Jay Leno having a contract that said he wouldn’t work on a show that aired after 11:30pm and they gave Conan Obrian the Tonight Show. Leno was still under contract so the gave him an earlier time slot which means they had to cut something. Plus the prison and coma stories were not the best so ratings dropped. They were headed in the right direction before it was cancelled.

    Yes, this series was great ... juvenile delinquency being idolized, but not to a point where the audience won't need their own fantasy to commit something funny ... the episode in which the family joins a church or cult (... what's the difference anyway...), I guess, would not be aired today without massive backlash because the protagonists don't show any christianism - the religious idiots, worldwide, are getting easier and easier to upset. Fox, at the very least, would not broadcast this today anymore. And, generally, it's funny.

Considering the what it was about, the show felt like it was leading up to something that never happens. I say the same thing about True Detective and Sharp Objects. I'm completely underwhelmed. People call it a slow burn but...it's not a slow burn if nothing ever really happens.

    As you may know, that's in homage to his famous stand-up routines from the 1960s where his unseen partner would be on the end of the phone (The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, his first album, contains classic examples of the idea). Very clever at the time, Bob's brilliant.

    sadly it was canceled in the second year of a 5 year planned story arc that would have taken it to 13 seasons, when it had it's second highest rated season and the highest rated show on its network because some exec thought the channel should go in a different direction and also refused to allow MGM to buy back the rights to sell to another network. The two follow up straight to DVD movies were good, but they had to rush up everything to close off all plotlines

    Band of brothers was phenomenal. Story was the key of course and the actors did justice to the roles they were given.

    If you bought the DVD set it came with a bonus disc that looked at the real people more. Listening to their stories and their lives after the war was totally jaw dropping.

    I agree. Breaking Bad is one of the best series for sure. Along with The Twilight Zone, and the first five seasons of The X Files. Band of Brothers is a fantastic, powerful, series, i rewatched it last year. It is a limited series though, not a years long series.

I can't watch it as an adult, too much flash back to that awful school tomorrow feeling.

    I have old episodes on the DVR and they act as a calming effect like Bob Ross after a bad day. I know what that broach is worth and I know Bob is going to add a happy tree in the corner but the undercurrent investing in the joy of the current moment pushes back all the evil and pettiness of the real world.

    The latest season was absolute c**p and frankly unwatchable. I think the show got too popular too fast and the writers didn't know was to do. Guillermo had an excellent storyline introduced and then it just went nowhere.

    I've just started watching, in season 2 now. But the fact that he helped solve the whole stolen money thing for Winona, and how that screwed with the sweet relationship he had with his chief, made it lose the feel-good vibe for me. So serious question for long-time watchers: does that get better again? Or does it get darker/less feel-good?

    The show is fantastic but it goes off the rails a little in the middle. The first season is great and Rami does such a good job. I don't want to spoil you but keep watching as it gets even better. But it gets a little bit silly with Angela at one point. I think they just didn't really know what to do with her character after the first season. Even at it's worst, though, it was still better than so many other shows out there.

    YES!!! Sometimes when I can't sleep I lie on the couch, put on FF and let Peter Thomas' dulcet tones talk me to sleep. (It also works with The UnXplained and History's Greatest Mysteries.)

    He does have a soothing voice, and the show is great.

    Yes, so much yes to this. I was scrolling down to see if I had to step up and add it to the comments after, but thank you for adding it here. Absolutly loved how it started a bit small with a detective and a missing person case, then gradually growing to something litteraly changing the fate of humanity. The Expanse is to sci-fi what Game of Thrones was to fantasy for me. And how can you not love Amos and Drummer!?

    Zig and Sharko had a dub here in India which made the show better. Same thing for Oggy and the Cocroaches

    The other show alongside BB that was well drafted from beginning to end. Every season was a facet. Brilliant.

    It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Sure an episode or two in a season might not be as hysterical as the others but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every season as a whole

    Daredevil only had one dip in quality and it was due to having to drum up interest in another show's storyline. Even then, it wasn't godawful, just not as interesting. Otherwise, perfect show from S1E1 to S3E13.

    As a Seinfeld fanatic, I disagree. I have all the DVDs and have watched Seasons 3 to 7 over and over, but Seasons 8 and 9 just got progressively too silly

    Wrap it up? That’s show had about 4 satisfying endings with BoJack reaching an epiphany and they just kept bringing it back for another season and undoing the progress
