    saw this in The Play TV guide

    Seinfeld
    Simpsons
    Larry Sanders
    St Elswhere
    Sopranos.

    FYI The term jump the shark is taken from a Happy Dyas ep in which Fonzie actually jumps a shark.

    Star Trek TNG. (Eventually jumped thru the 4 movies of course.)

    Simpsons jumped about 5 years ago btw

    Oz still hasn't.

    Blackadder didn't (if you don't count backNforth & xmas special).

    South Park hasn't (just my personal opinion, most probably think it has)

    Quantum Leap

    and eh .... thats about it.

    South Park is maybe the only show to have successfully jumped back over the shark. I had completely given up on seeing a funny episode ever again about midway through the 6th series, but then they took a few months' break and came back with absolute crackers (from Return of the fellowship of the ring to the two towers on). Goes to show you should never ever rush a programme to get it out on before a deadline.
