I don't think there's really a show that ended as strong or even stronger than it started, at least not when there was more than 1 season.
Here, I have to go with One Tree Hill, which started as a (usual) Teendrama, but well written und yes, there were even some differences to other shows (like the Teen-marriage and the triangle that was - at first - stopped to save the friendship. There's no other triangle in which the cheater chose the friendship over love!).
The first three seasons were great, touching, heartbreaking, lovely, sweet... well written for the most storylines.
But ... when TheWB became TheCW it got really weird. No Season without a psycho anymore. The characters - especially the guys - became douches and sure, every single girl wants a husband and babies. Not to mention how they completely ruined their triangle! It became the worst triangle I've ever seen on a TV Show, and lets be honest, there's barely a show without a triangle.
Some storylines were horribly disrespectful to the fanbase IMO and some were just ridiculously stupid (dog eating heart?!).
So all in all I have to say, I should have stopped watching after Season 4 (which was the first TheCW Season and the beginning of the end...)

You know, I would never tell you (or anyone else) to not watch "One Tree Hill", because as I said, the first 3 Seasons are really good and "Naley" is still one of the most beautiful lovestorys I've ever shipped. But I would tell you (and anyone else) to stop watching after Season 4, because then you have a good ending to a good show.
