This, this, THIS. This is a topic I feel strongly about.

A police procedural like Law & Order or NCIS can last for many seasons because that type of thing is more plot-driven than character-driven, but sitcoms *need* to stop lasting for eight, ten, or eleven seasons. The entire concept of "jumping the shark" would not exist if people knew when to call it quits.

Even the really great sitcoms like Frasier and Seinfeld faltered a bit in their later years. Big Bang Theory has become an absolute tragedy.

In Asia and in the UK, for example, TV series last for only a few years.

Quantity is the enemy of quality. I would like to see a greater variety of formats for TV shows: more mini-series, maybe a series with a grand total of only ten to twenty one-hour episodes, etc.

No more twelve-year sitcoms, for crying out loud. *please* Three or four seasons is perfect, IMO.

Personally, I thought Seinfeld was one of the few sitcoms that remained consistently great. The characters weren't flanderized to the point of being obnoxious and while the stories got more "out there" and wacky, it was still entertaining and funny. I'd say the only really weak episodes were the final two. Meanwhile, Frasier and Friends really became awful by the end.

Oh, I don't believe Seinfeld ever jumped the shark, I guess it might be more accurate to say that the later seasons aren't my favorites. But I see what you mean.
