> Definitely **Star Trek: Enterprise**. Once they wrapped up the Xindi arc (which I also liked) and started in with the Romulans that show really found its stride. Sucks too because, according to showrunner Manny Coto, it was all a prelude to what would have been seasons 5-6-7, namely the _Earth-Romulan War_!

Aw, damn.

_Blackadder_, definitely. The first season is pretty bad. \*… Goes Forth \*is fantastic.

Can’t believe I forgot that … great example!

Although, I kind of like the first season. The last season is the best, though, not to mention includes arguably the best series finale ever.

Barney Miller. Once they got rid of Barney’s wife, Fish, Wentworth and added Dietrich, things got much better. And it could have gone on a couple more seasons.
