[9dstpm]

Well, several shows have jumped the shark for me. Some have already been mentioned like A Different World, 90210, Little House on the Prarie, and Saved by the Bell. Here are some of mine:

The Cosby Show: when Denise came back from "Africa" married and with a stepdaughter.

Mama's Family: When Aunt Fran died suddenly and Ellen and Eunice stopped appearing on the show (this was around the time Rue McClanahan and Betty White went over to "The Golden Girls")

Married With Children: When Marcy married Jefferson, although that one episode where Steve comes back and finds out that Marcy has remarried was pretty funny.

In the Heat of the Night: When Virgil left the show then died and when Chief Gillespie married that councilwoman and became the sheriff and then they brought in Action Jackson to be the chief of police.

The Jenny Jones Show: when all her topics were about makeovers for a couple of seasons after one of her guests kills the other guest a few years ago after he revealed that he had a crush on him

Amen: When Thelma and Ruben got married. The plots got be so hackneyed after the wedding episode that I had to stop watching the show althogether.

Here are some shows that never really jumped the shark for me:

The Simpsons

The Golden Girls
