Reply to comment by DaveSilver in What’s your favorite time-loop / “Groundhog Day” episode of a TV show? by wet_bandits23

I forgot about Stargate Universe. They do something unique and unsettling, which I haven't seen in any other time loop story: >!They come up with a plan to fix everything, but the plan fails, and then the episode ends. Everything is back to normal for the next episode, so they must have figured it out eventually, but we never see them succeed.!<

I agree some plot points of the later seasons could have been better (e.g. why would >!it be necessary to, even if she'd eventually get them back/be able to recover them, erase all of Holly's memories of Eureka instead of just those of the Astraeus mission!<) but imho it's better than you think and not the worst decline of that kind of show (looking at you last two seasons of The Librarians, at least Eureka managed to (as much as it could with the Weird Time Shit) remain internally consistent)

'Til Death.

It starts as a fairly generic sitcom. Newlywed couple buys a home in a new city with their neighbors being an older couple that is kind of over things. Eventually the show drops the newlywed couple, focuses on the older couple, and becomes a sitcom about the older couple dealing with their still at home kid and their loser boyfriend. By the end the loser boyfriend thinks he is in a sitcom, frequently comments on his wife being played by a different actress, which was played by multiple actresses by that point, and it just goes from there.
