The very definition of "terribly good"? The show needs to be consistently terrible and so terrible you still watch it. And I don't mean a discussion on how Heroes or Prison Break or something else went down hill.
For me it has to be Scorpion. From the first episode it was awful, this is from the pilot episode:
To set the scene, they are apparently all geniuses with the main guy having an IQ of 197 (you are reminded each week that this is higher than Einsteins)..... so a bad software update to the air traffic control towers all around Los Angeles means no planes can land. They apparently need to get an older version that is only available on the planes still in the air, the plane does a fly by but WiFi cannot connect and download quick enough....
... so the "geniuses" decide that dangling a Cat5 ethernet cable from the under carriage of a flying plane to a Ferrari that has matched the speed and hooking it up the a laptop is the only option.
Every week they provide an entertainingly highly unrealistic solution to unlikely situations in an attempt to script a TV show that is supposed to make the audience feel in aw of their intellect.
