It happened to Robert Jordan, it can happen to Martin too.
And Jordan got lucky that his son did a good job wrapping the series up, a lot of other scifi writers haven't been that lucky, i.e. Zelazny and Herbert's kids books were absolute crap.

I just don't see how anyone can say Girls is one of the best shows on TV, but to each his own.
I am ready to get flamed for this, especially since I have not seen it.
I think a lot of the critical acclaim for Girls is similar to why ***** as Folk (american) got so much praise. A real show about modern women for modern women that doesn't pander and is realistic.
Relating it to ***** as Folk relates to a college class I took, Mass Media. It was taught by a chest beating homosexual male comm professor. He basically took all semester talking about how QAF is the greatest show this and that and almost single handedly was taking the *** rights movement ahead etc.
So we are made to watch the show during a class period. (we were given the option to opt out) Considering his position, he sure picked the wrong episode. The melodrama was so thick I cut it with a knife. The characters were so stereotypical, as a straight guy I was offended. It was pure derivative drivel. So friend Brandon proceeds to get on a soapbox and iterate these points... and amazingly fails the class.

It wasn't his son, Brandon Sanderson finished the Wheel of Time series. And I haven't finished it but I have heard he did a great job so you're right about that my good man.

Ah, well that's probably why it worked then.

Look at it this way, if Rodgers had Allstate instead of State Farm, he'd be protected from mayhem like this

You are honestly the first person I've heard who doesn't like that show. And people say my tastes are terrible.
Because they are, sir.
I asked an honest question about if it gets better or not. I understand it takes some comedies time to reach their stride. Maybe I'll go back to it in the future.

I don't remember Arrested Development being less funny in the beginning. If anything, I thought the first season was probably better than the third.
