I’m gonna go ahead and say a lot of shows, even some really good ones, peak within the first 2 or 3 seasons

I totally agree with this but I also think the short series model is often being used in the wrong places. Some shows will meander on for way too long while other series are too good for, or too rushed with, the new normal of 10 episode seasons. An example: I'm really enjoying How I Met Your Father being a prime target for it. 10 episodes in the first season was great to test the water and make sure the story was viable and the group had chemistry. Now that season 2 is airing, I'd love to have a few longer seasons while still having a target of only 3 or 4 seasons to keep the story tight.
