I have a few:
Ed, Edd, n' Eddy.
The show was very orginal at first, and it lasted well untill 2004. The episodes started to to lose their color a litte, but after they started going to school and the seasons began to change, it lost it's uniqueness. The only other way to deystroy the show is to show their parents.

The Land Before Time sequels.
The orginal I still love, and while the sequels weren't as grand as the first film, they weren't horrid. It started to lose itself after number six. It then became silly with number ten.

All the sequels Disney made to their orginal films.
From The Lady and the Tramp II to Peter Pan II.

The new Star Wars films.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

That's all I can think of at the moment. I'll post more when I think of them.

Look, it makes it MORE unique they were going to school. How is it being all summer unique from the other episodes? Going to school is unique, because though many other cartoons do it, this has DIFFERNET characters who think DIFFERENTLY. And it's much different. The show roxxors now, and them going to school = hilariousness.

Hypnotoad has been going downhill since season three. :p

Seriously, the I can only think of things that go from crap to great. Like Billy and Mandy, I HATED the show when it first started, now it pwns.

Grunge never got bad. It just died in 1999.

Bruce Springsteen got bad, he went downhill from 1980, but hit rock bottom with The Rising

Neopets.

Back when Neopets was still pretty little, it was a fun site. You weren't swamped with ads everywhere you went. No merchandise. Old art that wasn't super-cuted-up. You had a chance to buy things in stores. It's wasn't (as) censor happy. Then it became huge, and everything went super-adorable. I think my love started to fade when they took my favorite pet, the Tatsu, which was a really unique dragon-thing with a mohawk, and transformed it into a soulless, face-in-the-crowd griffin. Sigh.

Yeah, it's been around since '99 or 2000. I joined in seventh grade six years ago. I won Pet of the Week once, and for a while, the name of one of my pets would randomly pop up in it. It was bizarre, but kinda sorta cool.

I remember I tried Neopets when I was like 9 or 10. (5 years ago) And I got bored in the first 10 minutes. :p

Star trek the next generation movies.
I know its not that big a category, but still. First contact was a great movie, but how could it lead to Insurrection or Nemies. Although the scence in Nemeis when the bridge rips open is pretty sweet. But you cant kill Data and bring him back again in 15 minutes. You have to wait a movie, just like Spock proved.

I really liked the Pokemon games 'till they came out with Ruby&Sapphire. Sorry, they were way too complicated for my tastes. Silver was perfect.

Complicated? How so? I just thought they were to short and easy. Emerald is much better.

Anyways. The digimon show. It was cool and then the 3 season wasnt so cool and the last one just plain out sucked.

The Pokémon games. Red+Blue are the classics, and are really, really cool.Yellow was made to look more like the crap TV show, and it sucked a bit because of that, but was still playable.
Then came the thrill of "ooh, new weird monster thingies" with Gold and Silver. Those were all right, still nice and playable with a few new areas and it was still possible to collect 'em all.
With Ruby and Sapphire, it just gets out of hand. They should have stopped making new Pokémon after Silver and Gold, there's just too many to memorize. Also, the graphics seem like they're trying too hard. The classic graphics of the Pokémon games were puh-ownage.

I love sequals to games that use the old game's graphics. It just makes me feel more "at home" while playing them. Rollercoaster Tycoon is a nice example of this.

Ok, I play emerald and I do know almost all of the pokemon. They are not hard to remeber when you play the game. Also, why use old graphics on a system that supports higher end graphics. The new graphics are much better. currently I have 290 out of 386 pokemon. Thats already more then gold and silver and I still have a bunch to trade over from Leaf Green. So clearly, if I already have this many I can get all of them.

My cousin was suckered in recently, and bought Neopets Premium. You know how she had to cancel? She had to call Neopets, go through a ten-minute hold, a five minute thing where they tried to convince her not to cancel, ten more minutes of getting her information, and a goodbye. But she called at the wrong time: they billed her for another month because she called in a three-day-period of something. Never was there a company so money hungry that they made it THAT hard to cancel before Neopets.

My first idea is to say The Simpsons.

Now don't get me wrong, The Simpsons is my favorite show, and it's really good compared to most of the shows on television now. But compared to earlier Simpsons, around seasons 6-8, it's just not that good.

Oh, don't worry... it's the popular thing today to say The Simpsons have jumped the shark. I, personally, still like them just as much as I did 10 years ago.

M. Night Shyamalan. I think The Sixth Sense was really good, but his subsequent movies seem to be lacking...I'm not really looking forward to Lady in the Water.

There may be a reason for this: They've done everything. They've been on TV since before I was born, and they have been renewed for a TWENTIETH season. I think they are just trying to pass Gunsmoke as the longest running TV program. When they do that, they'll have a giant series finale in which all the characters move on with their lives.

3. Pac-man (The t.v. show was terrible)

Whoa. There was a tv show?
I had something in mind, but either I forgot it, or it was already mentioned. oh. Napoleon Dynamite. It's still a good movie, but everyone going spastic about it kind of puts you off. It's just not good.
Is the movie that good anyway? I think it's impressive, anyway.

On an unrealated note, I liked the new Star Wars movies. Sure they were not as good as the originals, but they are nowhere near as bad as everyone says they are. Well, at least I think that.

the worst thing you can do is make a TV show out of something that just wasn't designed to have a TV show. eg, video games.
