It's easy when it's a show that you dislike from the start and never gets better, but oftentimes it tends to be more complicated...
For instance, I may rate a short show 10/10 because I found it extremely entertaining for the time I watched it, but a longer one I give 9/10 will often still have more impact since I get more time to absorb the characters and it becomes a part of my life.
Then there are the shows which start off great, but then decline badly. These are the trickiest of the entire bunch. Do I only count the years where it was at the top, or do I factor in the decline as well? The Simpsons for example is worth a 10/10 for the golden years, but the worst years I would give as low as 3/10, maybe even 2. Yet I can't bring myself to rate it any lower than 10/10 because I'm so attached to the time where it was top-notch comedy. Is this fair or not?
