Jumped the Shark

It happens to the best of television shows. After a few strong seasons, a series takes a wrong turn that fans find unforgivable. This is known as the moment the show "jumped the shark." Sometimes it's just one goofy episode, like on "Happy Days" when Fonzie competed in a water skiing competition during which he had to pull off the ridiculous stunt of jumping over a shark (hence the phrase). Other times, it can be an entire plot shift that completely ruins the show. Remember when the working-class Conner family won the lottery and "Roseanne" became unwatchable?

Well this Fall many new shows started and there are a couple that were just plain disappointing.

1. "America's Next Top Model" is the show that it might have been done with a while ago. Its the same thing even season. The only thing that is keeping this show alive is the crazy stunts that Tiara does. But this season it may just be over done.

2. Nobody knows better than “Project Runway” that one day you’re in and the next day you’re out. Honestly, there aren't many shows that we've loved more; with its casts of outrageously talented designers tasked to create runway-worthy masterpieces, we’ve been diehard fans season after season. But when they kicked off Season 5 with a repeat challenge from Season 1, the lack of creativity was immediately apparent (in both the contestants as well as the show’s producers). And once the show rolled out the Saturn cars (a sponsor of the show) and asked the contestants to design something using car parts, the shark was officially jumped.

3. "Prison Break" has been the all time favorite for many but at the end of Season 2 they jumped the shark. Somehow Michael ended up in prison in Panama, Lincoln was the one on the outside, and this time Michael had to be broken out. Enough already! We’ve endured way too much; from the “deceased” Sara coming back to life to T-Bags ridiculous situations, this show needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.
