Biggest Shark Jumper (Nominees)

Mr E

Please nominate shows that Jumped the Shark.

Short Definition: Something fundamental has changed in a show that you loved and looked forward to every week to ruin it forever.

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)

How I Met Your Mother - really tired, really poor season bar 1 or 2 episodes.
30 Rock - the writing really wasn't there this year.. and it grew ever disappointing each week.
Supernatural - it started out very poorly, got better mid-season and then fell apart towards the end of the season.

Richard Dower

House - forget jumping sharks, this show drives cars through houses!
The Event -

No Ordinary Family -

Walking dead its simply playing the long game and I hope the network gives it time top do so
