That hasn't been the case for most TV series. Season 1 is generally a time for the cast and crew to really get to know each other and gel. Do you remember season one of a lot of great shows? Most of them were really weak compared to later ones. Just for example, Star Trek:TNG, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Files, Stargate:SG1.
There have been exceptions, of course, but this is a modern idea that the first season of a TV show should be great.
