I’ve probably heard of some but can’t think of any.
I see somehow no one mented Five Nights at Freddy’s
Supernatural
I absolutely loved the show, it could’ve been wrapped up sooner. It could’ve ended before the leviathans and I would’ve been happy.
The fifth season was intended to be the end of the story, it would have been the right place, the original creator bowed out at that point I believe. It was kept alive.
It’s my favorite series of all time and I still have the last season to watch pending… After that season where it was supposed to end the one and half after were kinda painful, but got better on later seasons again.
Weeds. It should have ended after season 3.

The wheel of Time
Seriously. I gave up on that series at book 5 when the author hadn’t resolved a single major plot point yet.
Yeah, I bailed in book 4. I never finished it. It was the same Storystructure. I mean I loved it, but it was just going nowhere. The gang gets broken up into Subgroups and then then it’s an escort mission.
I watched every episode of supernatural right to the very end. I was actually surprised how godd the episodes kept on being but it was well, well passed its heyday.
Stellaris. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I love seeing it get updated, but for anyone else, all they see is 300 DLC that they need to buy, otherwise it’s a completely different game than the one I’m playing. And not all of that DLC is created equally.

Agreed, CreamAPI or Koalageddon are basically required to play the game at this point.
Stargate SG1
Family Guy easily. Everything after the point where Brian was killed off and revived is basically a ‘Kill me’ cry at this point with how sadistic it’s gotten since that point; it’s like that show is begging to be put out of its misery.
Pokemon doesn’t count because they recently retired Ash and brought on a new lead character in his place, and they’re actually trying to branch out more lately with spinoffs such as Pokemon Concierge, which that spinoff is adorable from what little I’ve seen of it, btw.
Spongebob also needs to end just out of respect for its dead creator.
Family Guy should never have been uncancelled.
Bad Gear. Florian is definitely scraping the barrel for crusty synths when he turns his attention to plugins.
Musicians that essentially jump the shark after formerly making great art. Paul McCartney and The Cranberries come to mind, but I reckon the list is vast.
RIP Dolores.
I’m a big Neal Stephenson fan, but the Baroque Cycle was a friggen’ case study in his worst failing at the time: Unable to to tye all the narrative threads into a neat ending, he just. kept. writing. book after book until he finally petered out.
My sister was telling me about Poppy’s Playtime the other day and it sounds like it fits in this category. She basically said that the plot got more convoluted with each game and that there were absurd plot twists everywhere.
