    Literally all long running franchises. There is a clear downward trajectory over the lifetime of franchises. It doesn’t have to start immediately, but goddamn if it’s not true for everything. Go out on top. Don’t go out floundering about the lower-middle (at best).

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say South Park.

    They’re just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.

    Like the wall-mart episode. What’s the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it’s the customers who like convenience and low prices!

    They’re just … shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they’re just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I’m someone who generally agrees with what they’re attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy “gay”, making fun of trans people, etc)

    They’re seriously just… bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.

    Fucking Grey’s Anatomy. Idk if it really counts as a franchise though but it’s on season 22 and hasn’t been good in years. It needs to end. I keep waiting for an asteroid to hit the hospital because that’s pretty much the only disaster that hasn’t hit that hospital yet.

      Grey’s Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I’d say it counts as a franchise.

    Five Nights at Freddy’s has only been running for 11 years and is a corpse of its former self that seems to have been ironically put into a machine to make more money.

    It will actually be a sad day when Fast and Furious eventually ends. No more Family jokes. No more wacky titles.
