Psych's consistently awesome, but I can probably think of one or two episodes I wouldn't clamor to see again.

Well it had the advantage of only having 6 episodes. Even the Zuckers admit getting cancelled was a mixed blessing because if they had gone much longer they would have quickly run out of material.

None of them. Even the best shows have clunkers relative to their overall quality. I would agree.

I've enjoyed every single episode of Community thus far but that's only one and a half seasons.

Beavis and Butthead's quality was pretty consistent. The 2 pilot episodes and the first season (only 4 episodes) were pretty bad and Mike Judge made sure not to include them in the DVD collection. The first pilot (Frog Baseball) made the DVD though but that's mostly due to significance. It's not good or funny at all. I'm a fan but I must disagree. I haven't really liked any of the special "tribute" episodes. An hour of Britney Spears (or Madonna...or Lady Gaga) butt-kissing? No thanks. Get back to the plot.

I would say the new Dr Who, but then Catherine Tate happened and crapped up a bunch of episodes.

Ive never seen a Friends episode that I thought was bad tbh. It went downhill after Chandler and Monica were outed as a couple (the way it transformed into WE ALL HAVE GREAT JOBS! WE'RE ALL RICH AND HAPPY irked me compared to the first 4 seasons where they just seem like genuine everyday people) That, and they really suffered sometimes in the later seasons of warping into bizarre caricatures. Joey went from being a doof who relied on his looks and charm more than wit to being mentally retarded. Ross went from awkward to being some cosmic force of woe that made it where he couldn't buy milk without somehow accidentally calling a nun a prostitute or something wacky. Chandler seemed to lose comedic prowess as he gained weight. Monica was always a little uptight. She, however, was not psychopath until the end. Rachel and Phoebe did not change a lot, but Rachel's romance with Joey never really seemed plausible to me.

Phoebe was usually not so bad, though Monica was something of a tyrant towards the end. It's a shame, since she was much more likable initially. Though, I'm not sure how much of a doormat Ross would have had to be in real life to tolerate some of the callousness shown towards him by his "friends". He could have got ran over by a train, and they could have found cause to casually mention his divorces when entirely unwarranted.

Pheobe's 'quirkiness' was just bizarre and downright malicious at times.

Pheobe's 'quirkiness' was just bizarre and downright malicious at times. When it was more akin to "hippy lady", that was perfectly fine. It's usually episodes where she'd suddenly pick up a habit and just as soon drop it that through everything off. Like the stupid episode where she thought her mother came back as a cat, or when they'd randomly have her act like a violent hobo, when that really wasn't a part of her backstory that was otherwise given attention, and played solely for laughs.

Ross went from awkward to being some cosmic force of woe that made it where he couldn't buy milk without somehow accidentally calling a nun a prostitute or something wacky. /quote] These 2 REALLY bothered me. Ross from the first 2-3 seasons was someone alot of people could relate to. He was awkward and dorky, but had an absolute heart of gold. Everything after the Emily fiasco seemed like the writers were sitting around having a bizarre game of who could come up with the next rediculous story arch for him. Joey was just plain unlikeable near the end. His friends had to secretly wonder how he dressed and fed himself every day

Phoebe just became more ridiculous to the point where they were just trying for cheap random laughs with her. She was always the weakest character to me. Chander went from being the shows best character to a stupid caricature of "the funny one"

As much as I'd like to, I can't agree with Red Dwarf. It kinda started to suck after Series 5. "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" Season 6 disagrees. ;D I won't deny that there were good episodes after season 5, because there clearly were, but at the same time there were also a lot of clunkers that I have trouble sitting through.
