Welcome to Jumped The Shark

Even the best TV shows run their course after a while, the greatest movies do one sequel too many, or celebrities choose yet another disasterous career move .

“Jumping the Shark” is the moment when something peaks and begins its downward slide into obscurity. The phrase refers to a scene in Happy Days in which Fonzie, dressed in his trademark leather jacket jumped over a shark while water skiing. This moment is when many believe the show had peaked and its days were numbered. Almost all of us have gradually realised that the series we had to watch has become the one you barely notice, and tried to pin-point the reason for things taking a turn for the worse. This website celebrates these moments. TV shows, movies and celebrities for you to comment on with user friendly A-Z forums .

" Once Anne started scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and come up with any kind of half decent put down. By around episode 4 or 5 maybe? :D "

" Hardcore Pawn is still alright to tune into every now and again but i wouldnt watch it every week. I like watching the customers go nuts and kick off in the shop. But then once they do Seth and Les have to do the 'arms crossed hard man standing behind 3 big bouncers' routine and i switch off again. "

" The best series of BGT so far. Not for the inclusion of David Walliams as a judge though. I can assure everyone that his 'my simon' camp crap will become tedious just as watching him lust after any good looking young male contestants became tedious minutes into the show. But this year the final had alot of genuine talent in it for a change. I was actually quite impressed. "

" Great show ruined by 'the hamster'. Now lets hope the hundred other tv shows he presents (except Top Gear) gets axed too :) "

" Richard Arnold was a slimy creep. This isnt leading up to a joke, its a serious point. What a creepy little orange man he was. Makes me shivver thinking about him. "

" Best daytime tv gameshow ever grielry ?? Means nothing when the competition was classics like 'Going for Gold', 'Crosswits', 'Give us a Clue' and 'Win Lose or Draw'? :| "

" Its boring and lacks the same entertainment value of the Candian version. Which if you havent seen it is miles better than this. I think the British version lacks as much emotion and fun. Its just so straight laced and 'British' no one really smiles often. And before anyone says its about business and not fun, check out the Canadian version and see how those guys do it. "

" I would say around the time Clark left High School and stopped fighting a different 'meteor freak' every week. This may have been around the time Lois joined which made Smallville that whole lot shittier. The whole mythology thing started to happen at some point along the way with lame storylines that would last for a season and never be discussed again. Of them all i think 'Veritas' was king of the 'where the fuck did this come from' plot lines. "

" Not only one for the guys actually. I regularly watch TopGear and think its still as good as it ever was. Clarkson and Co. thrive on saying naughty things that may offend some people. The newspapers and internet bloggers simply give the show more column inches and do a little bit of free promotion. :D "

" Never jumped. My fav sitcom of all time. "

" I watched it until the horrible 'fight night' episode in series 5. Uncomfortable viewing and made me question what exactly i was watching these morons for in the first place. It should have ended with this series but if theres ever be a channel that likes a bit of controversy its channel 4. "

" I still like it. I like Noels obsession with dressing up and watching him dramaticaly say " Deal......or No Deal" with his usual hypnotic gaze to the contestants. The contestants are so involved in their system and the whole magic unfolding before them it makes for a great show everytime. Best daytime tv gameshow ever for me. "
