Breaking Bad = perfectly timed with the ending so it didn't go on too long
Big Bang = has been terrible for years because it went on too long
Walking Dead = has been terrible for years because it went on too long

...and so forth

My favorite comedy I've seen recently (probably hands down best I've seen this year)...Santa Clarita diet on Netflix.
Thank you to Stroke,and the recommendations of others here...

I am reeeeeally looking forward to season 3... Last season ended on such a cool note. :-)

^^Yep so am I, I can't wait for the new season...

I,like so many other really liked the first few seasons big bang theory,(Thundergod was the 1st to mention it,and it's probably true) when the guys got girlfriends the show went down hill...

I really like Wheeler dealers on Velocity,I do miss Edd China,but agree with his reasonings too...I also love the Barrett Jackson Auctions they show on Discovery/Velocity

Not so much a comedy thing, but I'm with ya on this one. If there is a Barrett Jackson auto auction on TV, I'll pop in to check out the sweet machines...

Forged in Fire is my jam right now.  It's not a comedy, but I can't help but laugh at the awkward people on that show lol.

Network TV is designed to continue as long as it's people watch and it's profitable.  Almost unanimously, network TV shows have to drop in quality and lose viewers for them to end.

Other types of TV aren't immune to this, but it's way less prevalent.  There is more creative freedom, usually, so show-runners and creators tend to have more artistic integrity, which means shows ending when the story is done and episodes that have less filler.

I am 100% off of network drama and comedy shows.
By network tv, do you mean ABC, NBC, and CBS? If so, I haven't watched network tv since I was in high school. Miami Vice, Cheers, Alf, Cosby Show and all kinds of shit like that. For some reason it isn't the same anymore. The shows now just bore me. I'd rather watch AMC replays of Rambo, Tombstone, and Shawshank Redemption over and over on a loop than watch some shitty network garbage. Sometimes TCM has some good old movies. Hell, the closest thing to a sitcom that I watch is Impractical Jokers on TruTv, but for some reason they play that like 20 hours a day, everyday of the wekk. So I've pretty much seen them all multiple times. These days TV is mostly background noise.

 Embarrassed I mentioned Barrett Jackson,and Wheeler dealers because of what Dolphster mentioned...

I have to say I don't really watch a lot of comedies,because most of them seem to follow the same boring formats with a different comedian leading.

The Ranch even being really right leaning on netflix has some chuckles,has well known actor cast. (IMO it's not exactly ground breaking comedy)

Yes.  Basically anything that's free over the air relies totally on ad revenue (or maybe merchandising, I guess).  So, their model is to just string you along so that you can see the next commercial.
