Simpsons. It was slow, and didn't sink to the depths of shows like Family Guy, but watching something so great descend into absolute mediocrity just... hurts.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. First season was ace, but them Bloo's asshole-ness got out of control and the show became really bitter and mean.

Rick and Morty, it's less depressing and more the five stages of grief
>no no its still good
>fuck its fucking shit god dammit
>maybe if they get rid of the women that lazzo hired
>it'll never get better
>it'll never get better and that's alright

Yeah, these two are my biggest. It's sad that the Simpsons' legacy is now reduced to almost nothing positive. It was a cultural phenomenon that's begging to be laid to rest now.
Also Rick and Morty got shit real fast. Fucking Harmon and his relationship drama and lore bullshit in a show that should've just been wacky science adventures.
Also, maybe Spongebob? I think that's more due to the fact that it's not something too hard to fuck up, and could still be funny with the right writers. But no.

Steven Universe, about half way through season 2.
It doesn't especially depress me, that's just the only instance I can think of.

>The Simpsons
Mostly, I'm just numb to it, but I can go back and watch the first seven seasons whenever I want. Really, Futurama is what you are supposed to watch once you run out of good Simpsons episodes.
>Family Guy
I feel similar to the Simpsons; the story of the show is more interesting because they were canceled and came back, but the descent into mediocrity was faster because the creator is more of an apathetic hedonists. I like what he did and he's funny but I would never count on him for anything.
>Adventure Time
The maker of this series was even worse that Seth. He had great ideas, but the creator is a shitty Millennial. The woke tumblr culture made it even easier for him to make some money, stop caring, and let his show go on autopilot and become a testing ground for shitty, self-indulgent new "talent"
>Reddit and Morty
Arguably an even steeper dive into shittiness between seasons two and three than Adventure Time. The took on a bunch of female writers for the purpose of taking on a bunch of female writers and now the quality hops around depending on how many affirmative action hires are working on any given episode.
Basically, we've got the formula for turning something into shit:
>Creators with good ideas get a lot of money and stop caring/get bored faster than ever.
>The company won't abandon an IP that is making them money until every last bit of good will is gone.
>Inserting representation/identity politics into a show will get it extra attention from the woke crowd who don't really care about the genre or story but will buy those shitty vinyl figurines.
>Since the medium is animation, creators can abandon their IP, collect royalties or voicing fees, and let plebs keep their shows going.
>The plebs insert their own shitty politics and fetishes, which the original fanbase hates. Because the plebs no their own creations will never be popular, they destroy what others enjoy out of spite.

Adventure Time and Steven Universe, the early seasons were really inspiring to me and it hurt to watch the writing devolve to crap in both of them, so much wasted potential.
