Your favorite "Jump The Shark" moment?

[phillybri]

I'm aware that the whole concept of jumping the shark is coming dangerously close to jumping the shark, but I love this crap!

In TV, my favorite has got to be when Fred Savage's character hit puberty on "The Wonder Years". Everything pretty much went to shit from there. I think his career followed as well...

In music, Garth Brooks releasing an album as his alter ego had him not only jumping the shark but mounting it and riding into shore...

1. when fonzie jumped the shark

and when the simpsons spoofed it during a cLip show (homer jumped the shark).

[King Of Paperboys]

2. I know it's trite, but

When Seven Of Nine joined the Voyager crew, it was over. I mean, the show wasn't too good to begin with, but it became "The Adventures of Seven Of Nine, plus some other people."

Fucking Braga and his girlfriend did their best to destroy all Trek.

[TheDebbieDee]

11. They should have started calling the show..........

"7 of 9 and The Doctor". Quite frankly, I think it became a better show after 7 of 9 joined the cast because then you were CERTAIN it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

[NewJeffCT]

34. yeah, but she was hot!

well, from the neck down at least...

[AwakeAtLast]

37. And then she ruined "Boston Public"!

She's a two-time jumper!!!!

3. When David and Maddie "did it" on "Moonlighting"

ABC might as well have cancelled the show right after. The show was a goner after that.

5. Oh , God yes!

It was like they pulled the plug that day - it was awful!

[WI_DEM]

4. when Dick Sargent replaced Dick York on "Bewitched"

Who was that man who Samantha was now calling, "sweetheart" it just wasn't the same.

16. Did they think we wouldn't NOTICE???

[mrboba1]

6. When Detective Pembleton

was no longer an active cop on "Homicide".

I forget what exactly happened to him now - shot?

He was the glue of the show...

[King Of Paperboys]

10. He had a stroke

God, Andre Braugher was GENIUS on that show.

[mrboba1]

12. That's right

I remember that now - he was interrogating someone at the time.

God that sucked.

[TheDebbieDee]

13. There wasn't a single bad actor on that show..........

Even that non-acting Baldwin brother was believeable as the screw-up "Bo".

[mrboba1]

14. Did you see the 'Homicide' movie?

That was even more of a downer than Pembleton's stroke...

[King Of Paperboys]

21. It was somewhat disappointing

But I guess it provided a certain amount of "closure..."

Whatever THAT means.

[Catfight]

7. when all the friends on "Friends," became lovers to each other.

Totally the "Moonlighting" episode was the death of the series. Any show with a wedding...kiss of death! Another sad day, when Scully and Moulder kissed on "X-Files," kiss of death. He sold out.

[sniffa]

8. when the "designing women" star joined

different strokes and brought that hammy red headed kid.

[phillybri]

20. Anytime they bring in a kid, that's the kiss of death...

Family Ties, Mad About You, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, the list goes on...

[dr.strangelove]

9. When Mulder got abducted

[DrBB]

33. That was going to be mine, too

All downhill from there. Actually, I started to sense the decay setting in shortly after the feature-length movie came out.

[dr.strangelove]

38. Yeah

The movie was great, but Chris Carter started to spin the story out of control. Once the no face aliens killed the well manicured man and the rest of the "elders" I started to lose it. But I waited for Fox to leave before I abandoned ship.

It was a great show in its heyday.
It got me through law school.

15. Ross and Rachel got Married in Vegas

[Worst Username Ever]

17. When they replaced Bo and Luke with those other two dukes

Trivia: WHAT WERE THE NEW DUKE COUSINS NAMES???

[phillybri]

18. Coy and Vance....They sucked!!!

What a couple of tools!!!

[Worst Username Ever]

22. Right you are. Consider the shark jumped.

[dr.strangelove]

25. We consider the Coy and Vance years "The Dark Times"

We are strange though.

[MissMillie]

19. David Addison & Maddie Hayes

hitting the sheets in Moonlighting.

[underpants]

23. When Lt.Col. Blake left M*A*S*H* but especially when Trapper left

and the final nail was when Radar left-the series was over.

[phillybri]

24. AfterMASH...

'Nuff said...

[underpants]

26. I don't think I have ever seen it

I don't think I will either

[King Of Paperboys]

27. If you blinked, you missed it.

Potter, Klinger and Mulcahey in a VA hospital. Radar visited. It was unwatchable dreck.

[Commendatori]

28. When Drew Carey married two women

and left Winford-Lauder, that show was over.

[mrboba1]

29. Boy, I must have missed something...

I didn't know he got married once!

[Commendatori]

30. That was a season-opener. He married one girl, and then

married Kate almost immediately afterwards (without divorcing, of course). It was a lame plot, lame comedy, and (to me) signaled the death of the show as a major sitcom.

[Liberal Veteran]

31. When Lynnesin's cat catches the bat......

I mean c'mon? Can you get anymore cloying than a poor helpless female being saved from an evil blood sucking rabid bat? It's been downhill ever since!

32. When they lost the slutty sister on "That 70s Show".

Yeah, I know, eventually they brought another woman in to play her. But all the humor left the show right about then.

[NewJeffCT]

35. America jumped the shark when * was selected by the Court

Had to get that in there.

[melv]

36. When Hyde started dating Jackie

39. Two Beckys...

That's all I've got...
