Home Movies.
I regularly break out the "He's gonna come after your moms" rant from Brendon to one mate of mine whenever he's around his girl.

Home Movies. I regularly break out the "He's gonna come after your moms" rant from Brendon to one mate of mine whenever he's around his girl. Me too, I prefer early, loose, down-to-earth improv style Home Movies about a million times to the show it would grow into by season 3/4.

Community, Scrubs and That 70s Show all had good first seasons imo.

Little Britain, as it still had more variety/inspiration from the radio show. By the next season it fell into the trap of too many catchphrases and repetition.

For me South Park started out great until after the movie, then it got too preachy (and bitter too, the show feels more angry than cheeky nowadays)for my tastes.
Early 24, Boondocks and Angel were the shit. Also seconding the Flash love.

Eh, all of these had rocky starts and got MUCH better in their second seasons. Especially Angel. Angel was a shitty cop show until Faith showed up. I suppose I will give it a shot... The Wire Arrested Development Twin Peaks The Shield Curb Your Enthusiasm Heroes (although the season finale is absolute trash) Homeland Rescue Me

Early 24, Boondocks and Angel were the shit. Also seconding the Flash love. Agreed with the SP love...there'd be no rest of the series without it catching on like fire. I liked Friends Season 1, though I think a lot of people wouldn't agree. I even loved the monkey, dammit! Mary Tyler Moore Show (I still even like the first season version of the theme song better than the second one that everyone knows)

Instead of a show that had a good first season and built on it, Prison Break ended up having a great first season, tripped up in the second and then proceeded to fall off the cliff and plummet further and further as the show went on.

Oh there's no love for South Park coming from me, I despise the show now.

One Tree Hill. After Season 4 they could've just called it quits and nobody would've missed anything though.

The first season of Megas XLR is some of the best work Cartoon Network has ever done. Sucked the second season suffers from Cerebus Syndrome and was not half as good as the first. Also Wonder Showzen.

I've only seen through Season Five so far, but I'd put Season One of Columbo up there with being as good as any of it. Columbo f***ing rules.

Game of Thrones and Orphan Black are two shows that really 'hooked' me more than any others (there are a lot of greta shows with brilliant first seasons, but those two are very addictive from the start)

I'd actually say Venture Bros.
I love the first season, but once the second season came around, it wasn't nearly as good. Hell, I'd argue there was a sharp decline in the writing.

The Flash, and the first season isn't even finished, yet. Easily my favorite new show, they'd really have to botch the finale for me to think otherwise.

How has nobody said Rick and Morty yet? With the exception of the "okay" pilot, every S1 episode was top notch.

There's never been a more accurate description for 'Community'.
The first season is AWESOME. It's akin to hitting a grand slam on the first pitch you see in the majors. The second season is still pretty good, but not close to the week-to-week quality of season one.
After that? Hoo boy. The show devolves into completely unwatchable boiling hot garbage. Using another baseball analogy, it's like going from winning MVP and Rookie of the Year in your first season in the bigs to hitting .160 in front of 250 people at a high school field in some podunk, backwoods town in Arkansas or something a few years later.
