These are my ratings, and stuff that I have liked more have a higher score. Please don't take it as an insult if your favorite TV Series has a low rating. And note that some TV Series start as very good but become a bit bad in the latter seasons. These ratings here reflect their performance in the initial seasons. Those TV Series are: 

• Mad Men (becomes horribly repetitive around and after Season 4, and doesn't improve thereafter)
• The West Wing (reduction in quality in Season 5 and early Season 6, but improves after that)
• How I Met Your Mother (bad in Seasons 5-7 but picks up again towards the last two seasons)
• Entourage (a dip around the 6th season but bounces back again to very high level)
• Criminal Minds (becomes stale and repetitive from Season 4 onwards, and doesn't bounce back)
• Two and a Half Men (changes from season 9 onwards)
