Married...With Children's absolute weakest seasons were it's tenth and eleventh but I still hung around and enjoyed the episodes that were really funny.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Interesting fact: the kid who played Seven on MWC also played teenage Sim on Enterprise.

Isn’t that basically what happened in DS9 S7. Everyone was signed for 6 seasons and when they went to negotiate for a 7th Farrell was they only one not really interested. So they gave her the take it or leave it offer and she left it.
It also didn't help that Rick Berman was being a sexist creep to her.
Season 11 of Happy Days, on the other hand...
Ted Mcginley got added to more than one show late in its run didn't he?

Thus came the TV term "Jumping the Shark." for going on too long, and bizarre plot lines.
Cancelled.
Sadly the Jumping of the Shark happened long before Season 11 ever happened.
In a sense, I think that's what happened with TNG, VOY, and ENT. Crew on a starship out in space. They just changed which ship and which crew.
So the second season of ENT didn't feel like a second season, because it was really more like the "16th season" of '80s/'90s/'00s Star Trek on a Starship. The "15th season" had the newness of it being in the 22nd Century, so that made "S15" better than "S16". VOY was really seasons "8" through "14".
They're not numbered as such, but it plays the same way. Changing Star Trek series is kind of like changing Doctors on Doctor Who.
It's not really that hard...
Now add all the TV shows.
Now there's a show that went past 10 seasons with gusto.
He got added to MARRIED... WITH CHILDREN at season 4, I think. About 1/3 of its run. Season 4 for long shows seem to have an addition/shakeup. MARRIED... WITH CHILDREN, DS9, VOYAGER, ENTERPRISE (not in cast, but definitely in doing mini-arcs), STARGATE ATLANTIS... I know there are a lot more, but you get my point.
Married...With Children is the only series he joined that maintained its quality and lasted longer with him in the cast than outside it. Steve(David Garrison) left by Season 4 which left Jefferson to carry the bulk of episodes as Al's next-door neighbor and repeated sidekick.
I like the early and middle seasons of Married With Children. Then something about the series changed during the eighth season. It's hard to put my finger on, but I feel like it suddenly became a lot dumber. Around the time of NO'MAAM. It's been waaaayyyy too long since I've watched it, so I can't get any more specific than that, but it's the impression I had Way Back When. I stopped watching I want to say right around the beginning of the 10th Season? IIRC, that's when Buck was replaced with Lucky and Peg's Mom and Zephram moved in? And when we found out who the CEO for the shoe store was...
... and I think I remember more than I thought! Oh yeah, and Bud's clothes were horrible during those seasons. It was like Eminem before Eminem was a thing.
Though I did like Al's buddy (the black guy) and the news reporter with the superlongridiculous name.

This graphic only covers to mid-2019 (Avengers: Endgame, although it was created in 2017 or so when Endgame was still called Infinity War Part II), but it includes all the TV shows to that point (Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, Dardevil, Jessica Jones and the other Defenders shows), as well as the Marvel One-Shot shorts.
Griff. The best sidekick on the show after Steve left the cast. I like Jefferson well enough but he was even dumber in many respects than Al, and that just didn't work as well as a dynamic. Griff was clearly intelligent but also prone to the same sex cravings and wild dreams Al had and was a great second banana on some of Al's escapades.
Anyway, Star Trek. 
In the '90s, I remember that reruns of Married With Children always came on after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
"Staaarrrrr Treekkkkk: TheNextGeneration!"
