We need a whole different thread for GOT. Like shows that were great and then became completely terrible. GOT was great until the last few episodes, and now it's hard to look back at it fondly. Shows that started great then became terrible? Dexter. Westworld

100%. Those showrunners were just trying to fly through the final season to fulfill their contract with HBO because they had a massive deal with Disney on the hook to take over Star Wars. Then they weaseled out of the Disney deal so they could sign a bigger deal with Netflix which guaranteed them $250 million.

Don't all great shows become completely terrible? Isn't that why they get cancelled?

Westworld should have ended after 1 season.  Or prequel it, but inside the park. The moment they progressed out of the park, I couldn't care less.

I thought the first season was among the best ever, but after that it was incomprehensible crap

Not really.

Breaking Bad didn’t become terrible. Neither did The Sopranos. The creators/writers just knew when to end.

GoT was always going to end when it did, they ran out of source material as they caught up to the final books which although have yet to be published- George RR Martin gave the show runners the broad stokes for the final books.

It wasn't canceled though, that's just how they chose to wrap it up.

Not a TV show, but rise of Skywalker is the one movie sequel that wasn't just bad, but was bad in a way that retroactively made the prior movies worse, by diminishing them. For that reason alone, I think it stands above bad sequels, or bad endings to TV shows.

As far as shows go, for being an NBC show, I thought the blacklist started out pretty good, and seemed to have an idea of what it was doing through about three seasons. And it fell off an absolute cliff. Somehow it's still on. You don't tend to see that much anymore, particularly with dramas.  It does not appear to have an end game

I don't watch much TV anymore, either.  Aside from live sports, and far less of that these days too.
I don't either, so all mine are old shows.
Of course, they probably would be anyway.
Twilight Zone
Magnum, P.I.
Hill Street Blues (the early seasons)
Hawaii Five-0 (the original Jack Lord series)

Certainly not "best" ever, but if you haven't seen Schitt's Creek, check it out. 

Thought of it in the context of shows that chose an appropriate time to end...

Yup.  Granted they were kind of forced out, but arrested development was in the same boat. Then they came back with some very unfunny Netflix seasons

My i s c & a aggie wife liked Schitt's Creek and watched it pretty regularly, so I saw some of it and enjoyed it.  The Levys are awesome.

Great f'n show. The original seasons- one of the best comedy shows ever on tv. The Netflix ones- turrrrible.

As far as comedies go, I'd say Seinfeld, Arrested Development, The Office UK & US (with Steve Carrell), It's Always Sunny, Extras, & Curb Your Enthusiasm are all way up there.
