I'm in the first season with Woody at the moment, he's better than I remember (and I'd forgotten what a non-factor Coach had become in the show by his final days). The point I really remember the show starting to go downhill is when Kirstie Alley shows up.

I caught an episode where Diane hectored Sam into proposing to her, and then going to the police and falsely accused him of assaulting her. Then, in front of a world-weary judge, got him to propose again or else he'd go to prison. And he did, and it was romantic. I'm not too sure of Cheers chronology, but that was definitely an episode from a show in decline.

We don't have that but there is no show starting next week called Question of Sport with Ian Botham and Emlyn Hughes. Did you see Gerry Francis shoot the table in Superstars last night ? was so funny Kev Keegan fell off his bike.

That's the most common narrative for the show's decline, and it definitely sped along downhill, but for me there was a certain heart and soul to the show about Coach. Sweet and confused, getting some of the best lines because of the same. They tried to do the same with Woody, but it wasn't as effective.

Coach was the best. I actually liked Woody but I agree with Flex. Kirstie Alley ruined it for me.

Both are excellent.
Hey, I'm watching those too! Love Ripper Street, not fully sold on The Following. It's gory and creepy, but is also chock-full of cliche. But who am I to judge because I am also watching The Carrie Diaries, but just for the music, clothes and Freema Agyman.

I'm watching Downton Abbey. Daily Show if I can stay awake. Getting tired of waiting for Mad Men.
