80s TV animation jumped the shark when DiC flooded the market with crummy shows just to wipe out their competition.

The original Charlie's Angels TV show jumped the shark (I love saying that!) when Farrah Fawcett-Majors quit the show.
Yeah I was in love with Cheryl Ladd, like everybody else .... but it wasn't the same show for me after that.

Thanks, Cobie.

Some people would ask, "What about the Jim Lee issues?" I would respond, "Take away the splashy art, and you're left with crummy scripts."

Having said that, I think the Nicieza/Lobdell era got off to a great start with X-Cutioner's Song. But I think the franchise jumped the shark a second time when Cable turned out to be alive.

What's My Line? jumped when Dorothy Kilgallen died. The last two years just aren't nearly as much fun.


The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

NFL jumped the shark when they started using theatrics that are made fun of in movies and tv spoofs as actual parts of their pregame.
