The Simpsons is actually a pretty good counterexample. The first season is so-so, the show didn’t really hit its stride until seasons 3-8 according to IMDB ratings: https://i.redd.it/p0or3k2rv6dz.jpg

If The Simpsons was British, none of the best episodes would have been made.

But neither would any of the 300 worst episodes.

The decline of The Simpsons from brilliant American sitcom into mindless consumerist drivel happens at around season 9 and is well documented as “Zombie Simpsons”: https://deadhomersociety.com/zombiesimpsons/
