Why do tv series tend to decline in quality as they go on? Like LOST, or Dexter, or 24, or Fringe, or even the sopranos.

Even if a show doesn't necessarily go to complete shit, there are very few exceptions to the rule that seasons 1 and 2 will be better than a show's two final seasons. Buffy and Angel are the only exceptions I can think of off hand.

But as a show goes on, the actors get more used to their roles, the studios give them more money than they had to produce their pilot as the show gets a larger audience, the writers become more aware of what does and doesn't work in a particular universe... logically, it should be the other way around. Why isn't it?

Why do you hate may?

As time goes on, plot points and the premise generally gets either stretched out to the point of annoying the fanbase (lost) or repeated (usually shittier than earlier seasons, Dexter). As time goes on writers generally leave the project or new writers are brought on who don't understand the series, or the original writers keep retreading shit they've already done.

It's all money. Instead of just having a defined endpoint most get strung along with an extra 1-2 seasons until interest dries up and they're fucked and cucked without a hope of wrapping things up in a dignified manner, left out to dry by whoever funded them.

Also, if you're a writer / director / producer on a hit show that could go the distance of 7-8 seasons of stretched out garbage or 3-4 seasons of concise and quality storytelling, at the end of the day you have little to no job security past the show you're currently working on, so better for them to stretch it out, collect as many shekels as possible, fuck the fans, fuck the show, got mine.
