Eh… I was also going to say Heroes, but I think it jumped the shark partway through season 1.
The “Save the Cheerleader, Save the World” story arc is some of the best television ever, but it rapidly goes downhill from there. Then in season 2, they tried to get fan involvement in the story and, predictably, it was terrible.
But for anyone who hasn’t seen it, you’ll know the story arc I’m talking about, and it’s obvious when it ends. Well worth watching up to that point!
