The worst "jump the shark" moment in television history?

[Milk N Cookies]

Girlfriends when Toni left. And tried to replace her with Monica
Moesha when Ray-j joined.
One on One when ray j joined.
Fresh Prince when Nicky grew up.(technically when they brought in the other Aunt Viv)
The Cosby show when Pam joined.
Living Single when Synclaire got married and the light skinned dude with the nice lips moved in....

Girlfriends when Toni left. And tried to replace her with Monica

damn didn't know about that

damn didn't know about that

It was tragic... and it showed through the writing (it was during the writers strike too)

How about the show Happy Days where the Fonz jumped a shark and thus coined the term jumping the shark?

Oh you mean like was mentioned on the first page of this thread?

Naw I was referring to when I mention it. Sounds better coming from me.

lies


Tisha Campbell basically ruined the show

she threw a fit because Martin was supposed to be at her wedding to Duane Martin and he didnt show up

after that she tried to leave the show

then claimed Martin sexually harassed her and Pam
but Pam said it wasnt true

then she would only shoot scenes without martin in them


she has mental issues

she admitted that it was all about the wedding after the show was cancelled

See everything but the bolded portion I knew about, however (), after conducting a little research, I got an article written from 1997 about the incident (very basic info), and a few more recent articles shedding some more light on the issue, but nothing I'm finding corroborates the bolded text. They were sleeping together off camera (didn't know that at the time, but looking back it's type obvious ), Martin caught feelings, she didn't, she gets engaged to DM, and then Martin flipped his lid. I can't find a source that vilifies her or doesn't make Martin out to be the one who was nuts, nor can I find anything about her catching feelings about him no-showing at her wedding.

Of course, casual sex with a co-worker wasn't exactly mentally healthy either lol .

@Azul Hope I'm not derailing the thread, but the Martin story always intrigued me since it just ended so suddenly.

Came in to mention New York Undercover but the OP has already done so.

Tommy from Martin was so wack on NYU.

I forgot to add Family Matters when Stefon was there more than Steve, when 3J joined, when it was moved to CBS and when they changed Harriet.

The show made 0 sense beyond then, i had stopped watching and started again and was like

this is for all the shows

Forgot ALL about the cbs move

Thats one show I can say was not even watchable once it jumped, it literally has ZERO replay value these days

The funny thing about Family Matters was, Harriet was actually starting to get more focus when the actress left.

MADtv had some of its best seasons post-2003.

Ray J is sitcom cancer, and Frank being Dorian's dad was the reason the stepmom quit the show. shyt turned Frank into the WOAT TV dad (second only to maybe Goku).

 

[MustafaSTL]

fukk Gina for fukking up the GOAT sitcom.

New York Undercover was my shyt too. I remember that episode when he got murked off. Everybody at school the next day was tripping off that shyt. And yeah, Tommy sucked on that show. Not one single person thought it would last after that.

And Fresh Prince never jumped the shark. They had way more head scratching timeline issues that Nicky growing up fast. I remember they changed Carlton's bday around a few times. Some other shyt I can't remember. But the show's quality never fell off like that.

Dude in here really bringing up southpark and family guy. Yall realize "jumping the shark" is part of their gimmick right? They thrive off absurd plots and situations
