When did your favorite TV show "Jump the Shark"
 

Jumping the Shark is a defining moment when your favorite television program has reached its peak. From that point on, the show goes downhill.

When did your favorite TV show just "Stop being good"?

Here are when I think my favorites jumped.

The Cosby Show-- When Rudy stopped being cute

Family matters--When Steve Urkel got too big for that role.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air-- When they got rid of the first mother and replaced her with the other one.

Diff'rent Strokes-- When Mr. Drummond got married

I have some more but I want to know what are yours?

I Love This One!
O.K. Here they go........

1). Facts of Life..... when Mrs Garrett left

2). Three's Company ....... when they replaced Chrissy with Terry

3).Save by the Bell....... when they get a new class

My turn!

Friends- When Ross and Rachel broke up.

90210-When Brenda left

A Different World- After Dwayne and Whitley got married

Right?? I always thought so too.

1)Most Definitely!! When Jada Pinkett and 'dem http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif made their debut. Yuck, yuck, GAG!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

2)Designing Women: When Suzanne Sugarbaker left......then when Charlene left and her TV sister Darlene replaced her. Now why did they think they could replace Suzanne or Charlene? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

3)The Jeffersons: When Lionel and Jenny got married.

4)Martin: When it became obvious that he and Gina were trying not to be in the same scenes.

5)The Steve Harvey Show: When all them d%*# kids got too old to be playing on the show and when the two women of color left.

6) Living Single: When Sinclair and Overton got married and that guy who was trying to push up on Bird (Nia Long) in the Soul Food movie moved into the apartment with Regine and Khadijah. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

7)New York Undercover: When Torres got killed and Tommy (from Martin) came on the scene. I mean, did Tommy think that he could just bring his overgrown behind from a show like Martin and try to act serious on another one. Be for real!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

8)Showtime at the Apollo: When 3:00 one morning I happened to realize that it was on and to my suprise Steve Harvey was no longer hosting it, but some CORNBALL was. I tried to give him a chance, but needless to say he blew it. I was DISGUSTED!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

AND FOR THE FINALE.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

9)Soul Train: When Don Cornelius stopped hosting it! It has been going downhill ever since....The funny thing is, who ever really paid any attention to Don. I guess you never miss your water until your well runs dry. Apparently, Don was 'Da MAN!!!!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif

10)The Andy Griffith Show: When it began airing in color. I liked the black and white episodes MUCH better!!!!!

Girl, you ain't neva lied on this one! I was TOO threw when they killed Torres!! I stopped watching after that. No, I lied. I did watch ONE episode w/ Tommy and I couldn't believe Malik Yoba's character was trying to kick it w/ Nina! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif I REALLY couldn't watch it after that! That just wasn't right!

I agree.. I must have stopped watching before the series went off the air, because I caught a re-run at school this semester and I was like - who is this and why is he here?? My roommate and I sat through the whole episode, and after it was over we looked at each other and said simultaneously, "That wasn't funny." What a disappointment.

NYPD Blue when Jimmy Smits aka "Bobby" died. I have not watched it since then!

What women of color? Who left?

When the Steve Harvey Show first aired, it had a different "format" (lack of a better word). Steve started out as a music teacher to inner city kids (sort of like a Dangerous Minds sort of thing). In addition to Romeo and Bullethead (who got his nickname becasue he was shot in the head and the bullet is still there), there were 2 female students. I guess Lydia took their place. BTW, SHE gets on my LAST nerve. She's too big to be running all of the time. It's NOT cute.

In my opinion, the new format is MUCH better. I don't think that this show has jumped *YET*. (We'll see what happens with next season now that Lovita is pregnant and Steve and Regina had sex.)

Imperial11: You took us back. I forgot about some of those shows!

Sprin99-Diva,

I am sitting here laughing sooo hard, I am crying!!! The people at work think I'm crazy!! That is my all time favorite of Good Times "DAMN DAMN DAMN". I thought I was the only one who remembered that!

DST Love: In addition to what Spr99Diva said, one of the girls that left the show was African-American and the other was Hispanic.

Spr99Diva: I heard that the Steve Harvey show was not going to be renewed for next season. I don't remember where I heard this, so I'm not sure how reliable the source was. But, I guess we'll see.

I read that the season coming up will be the final season. I saw it on the Fall line-up for the WB in NYC.

I read in TV Guide that Cedric the Entertainer is in talks with the WB to have his own show called "Cedric the Coach" (but it will not spin off of The Steve Harvey Show")

Can you tell that I am a HUGE Steve Harvey Show Fan? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
