You should because that is what you are describing. <BR/>From Wikipedia:<BR/>"Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point in a TV series at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak, since they have undergone too many changes to retain their original appeal, and after this point critical fans often sense a noticeable decline in the show's quality."<BR/><BR/>"Jumping the shark" (which was named for the Happy Days episode in which Fonzi puts on waterskis and jumps a shark (AAAHHHhhhhh, yeah right) makes so much sense to me because almost all TV shows go through this eventually. Remember when ROSANNE won the lottery? Well, that was a shark jumper!! LOL LOL<BR/>I am going through this JTS feeling with a few of my shows now. Project Runway, Workout, and Top Chef are starting to get a little too weirded out. It is sad. I liked them when they were fresh and believable.<BR/>Tootles!<BR/>ShereeSheree Renselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950399494568831822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30978166.post-78182327032774940742008-06-14T14:52:00.000-07:002008-06-14T14:52:00.000-07:00I haven't seen Highlander the TV series and now I'...I haven't seen Highlander the TV series and now I'm very glad!
