What long running show had the lowest drop in quality?

Charles, Col. Potter, and BJ were the rare example of adding characters later on with more nuance, growth, and less flanderization than the characters they replaced. Charles being actually intelligent and a great surgeon provided a much more worthy adversary than Frank’s buffoonery, and allowed him to have a softer side and friendships in the group. BJ being generally more mature, softer spoke and loyal to his wife instead of another juvenile womanizer like Hawkeye meant we had a different perspective there instead of basically just two Hawkeyes. And Col. Potter provided an actual authority figure who couldn’t just be walked over, and one who was respected by basically everyone because he earned it by being a good leader and not just a higher rank. Him being career army also gave another viewpoint on the war to contrast the other doctors. Maj. Houlihan also got to have more depth once Frank left and she wasn’t shackled to his plot lines. All in all the addition of those characters let them tell more interesting stories than they could before, which really fit with the show wanting to have more mature discussions. And it also kept them funny: there’s only so many times you can laugh at Hawkeye outsmarting Frank yet again. Whereas someone like Charles Emerson Winchester III allows means he can be an ally or an adversary with numerous other characters depending on what’s funnier. Frank humor was pretty much the same no matter who he paired with, Charles had very different dynamics with different characters that gave him a lot more versatility for comedic situations.

Charles was a great ad. Good foil for Hawkeye and BJ.

Watch it all the time. It’s a staple of Channel 4 in the morning in the UK.

Grammer sucking as a person and the reboot not having Niles on were dealbreakers for me.

I remember reading something about how in the reboot Frasier is a side character in his own show. In the original he’s basically the center that all other cast members connect to: Frasier’s dad, Frasier’s brother, Frasier’s producer, the live-in nurse that Frasier hired, etc. In the new show Frasier‘s son is essentially the epicenter of the relationships, and Frasier is just one of the relationships.

And he’s the villain of the plot he’s helping the others solve lol

I am frankly still reeling from the revelation that iconic wedding planner extraordinair Jeannie Gold is Ricky Spanish's sister

Hey Mac, im drying out.

It has some good moments and I really liked the time jump but the fan service in regards to everyone's endings was a little much for me and I don't think it has as many memorable bits as the earlier seasons.

Yes, my opinion differs slightly from most fans of the show. I think Seasons 5-7 are all a step down from the show's peak, although I do consider the final season the worst. Still good TV that I enjoy, just not on the same level of the earlier seasons.

Kylie supremacy!!!
