Biggest Shark Jumper (Nominations)

Mr E

Please name shows worthy of Biggest Shark Jumper.

Definition: Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point in a TV series at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak, since they have undergone too many changes to retain their original appeal, and after this point critical fans often sense a noticeable decline in their quality. Jump-the-shark moments may finally convince viewers that the show has fundamentally and permanently strayed from its original premise. In those cases they are viewed as a desperate and futile attempt to keep a series fresh in the face of declining ratings. In other cases the departure or replacement of a main cast member or character or a significant change in setting changes a critical dynamic of the show. These changes are often attempts to attract their fans' waning attention with over-the-top statements or increasingly overt appeals to sex or violence. (Excerpt taken from Wiki Definition)

Heroes season 2 just because of the story lline about the two mexicans

Prison break

Mr E

Its strange that Prison Break was nominated by everyone so far... Season 3 was closer to its roots than Season 2.

Definitely agree with Heroes though. Watch this space though, I'm expecting great things from season 3.

Ye me too cant wait for the 2 hour season 3 opener. I actually liked season 2 more than most people on boards.

Another one would have to be Scrubs - its still a funny show but you have to agre its not the same show

dulpit

Prison Break - how many more prisons will he have to break out of?

Jello

Prison Break, though still an enjoyable season none the less.

ixoy

Bones - For lots of stupid things like

her father's "trial" and the excess of sentimentality, for the stupid Hawaiian wedding, for bringing in a 20-year old specialist to work in the FBI

but most of all for what they did in the finale.

Heroes - Begorrah potatoes they really screwed this one up. When the creator of the show apologises, you know that their heroes are now levitating over sharks.

Prison Break - just to be different

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Home and Away - Got so Shark Jumpy I was forced after 19 years to stop watching - what a shame.

Prison Break - Love the show, but it's getting a bit ridiculous - what are the bets Michael gets his ass thrown back into Sona in season 4 in order to save Sucre.

Skins - Went a bit off the wall and way more extreme than series 1.
