When did you think "Tales From The Crypt" went bad, assuming you think it got to that stage?
For me, and it seems I'm in the majority here, it had to be the final season in which they emanated from London, England. I've actually heard some fans say it started to go bad in the next to last season, but I personally didn't think so. While the eps in the final season weren't all bad, most didn't embody that T.F.T.C. vibe in the previous,(I believe) 6 seasons. I don't know, just my opinion.
Your take? -

I kind of agree. Even though seasons 6 and 7 were the weakest seasons of the show, they both still had some great episodes. Just like, as others have pointed out, the seasons before the last two had some bad episodes.

Yep, as others have said Season 6 was the big decline. There were plenty of clunkers in the first 5 seasons, but 6 had more clunkers than non clunkers. It was also that much more noticeable coming off one of the strongest seasons.

Seasons 1-5 had some bad episodes but the number of good ones was definitely far higher. 6 is when the bad episodes outnumbered the good ones, IMO.
I'd argue the few good episodes of 6 and 7 (Comes The Dawn, Doctor Of Horror, Staired In Horror, Horror In The Night, etc.) almost feel like they could be leftover episodes from the first five seasons that were released later. -

I came on here to find out what was up with season 7. Why so much British crap? British characters are awful in horror.

I think it had a good run. Like any series, it has its share of dud episodes.
7, however seemed to be the one season where there was more bad than good. So I would say the final season was the show at its worst. But I did still like some episodes from the season. The ones I liked may be an unpopular opinion.
The Kidnapper
Horror in the Night
Slight Case of Murder
Last Respects was ok, but not great.
It's been a min. since I watched my DVDs, but I think my personal favorite season was 5.
