* Kids TV shows tend to get this the most. Most likely a major cause of [[Hatedom]] and [[Periphery Hatedom]] towards shows such as ''[[Barney and Friends]]'' and ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''.
* This seems to be happening to ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]''. Many original fans have complained the latest series is too mainstream and lacking in invention. Whether there's been an actual drop in quality is debatable.
* There seems to be a substantial backlash of this sort to anything by the legendary comic ''[[Monty Python]]'', (especially, however, ''[[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail]]''). Some people might just be [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|sick of the inevitable quotations]], since so many people know the quotes and love them. Others have different objections.
* For many people, the decline of ''[[The X-Files]]'' began with its move to Sundays from Fridays and its attempt to be more "accessible" to Fox viewers.
* In the ''[[Community]]'' episode "[[Community/Recap/S2 E09 Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design|Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design]]" an in-universe example occurs when their blanket fort makes the newspapers and inspires similar blanket forts in campuses across the country, Troy and Abed decide it must be destroyed.

* [[U2]]. Because of this trope, their fanbase is divided into two groups; pre-"Joshua Tree" and post "Joshua Tree".
* [[The Who]]. The band was always popular, but when they became international sensations with the release of ''Tommy'', fans of their earlier work thought they were becoming ''too'' popular. Not helped by the use of their songs in ''[[CSI]]''.
