    T&Cs
    • Please nominate no more than 5 entries for this category
    • The nominated shows must had episodes that aired for the first time, any time, after 1st June 2014.
    • Jumping the Shark is a term to describe a moment when something that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity. The origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on waterskis, thus becoming the lowest point of the show.
    • You must name the single scene/incident/twist that made this show jump the shark.
    • Shows still running are permitted.
    • The show may have aired on TV or online anywhere in the world (Ireland, UK, USA, Canada, Netflix, etc.)
    • This is the first group of categories. More in a few days...
    • Shows with the most nominations will be included in the voting stage.
    • For plot-related categories, please use discretion (spoiler tags if necessary)

    Sorry I've just added an extra clause - you must name the point that the show jumped the shark (see origins of phrase). Any nominations that just name the show will be discarded.

    Broadchurch (Season 2, Episode 8)
    A flashback reveals that all-three of Ricky Gillespie, Lee Ashworth and Claire Ashworth were responsible for killing Lisa and Pippa, which finally confirmed there was literally zero reason for having a second season, because the mystery of the murders turned out to be completely ridiculous and sh*t in the face of the whodunnit aspect of the first series

    The Simpsons - I know it jumped the shark about fifteen odd years ago, but having The Simpsons meet the Griffins must surely count as another shark jumped! Plus the imminent departure of Harry Shearer...
