Often you'll get a good series which is great for the first few seasons... but then when the show starts making money the producers try to extend it's lifespan which usually results in the writers running out of ideas which of course results in the quality of the show going downhill.

A good example is Lost.

Shows are best when they are planned from beginning to end with the end being final. (My favourite TV series ever would have to be Babylon 5)
Actually Lost is a terrible example of what you are talking about because at Season Three they said there would be an end at Season Six.

X-Files is a good example of what you are saying.
