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

[Azul]

For me, it would have to be the death of Det. Torres on New York Undercover. New York Undercover was my favorite show from the 90s. The theme song alone


Lately I've been watching old episodes on youtube and the show is still amazing :yeslawd: While watching, I couldn't help but think about that fateful day in 1997 when the worst happened.


(go to 2:23) the next day at school no joke girls were crying (hilarious in retrospect )

It takes months for the show to come back, and when it does it comes back like this



It wasn't the same without Eddie. Then they have the nerve to add two cac cops and Tommy. They took away all the elements that made the show so popular and added a bunch of rock and techno music. It lasted about half a season.

In your opinion, what is the worst jump the shark moment in tv history?

I used to love "Smallville" when I was a kid, IMO the show jumped the shark when they decided to make Lana a witch. Like, who the fukk thought that would be a good idea?

I'm on season 7 episode 10. I got every season on DVD, but never finished it when I watched it when it was on tv. I'm tryna catch up now.
one of the GOAT tv shows. IMO.

Remember that episode where dudes kidnapped Torres and pumped his body with drugs? The scene where he was strung-out under the bridge still has me to this day.

If there's 1 thing "Married... With Children" taught me is that pets that are integral to a sitcom family's chemistry are just as irreplaceable as their human counterparts. I shuddered the moment I heard this was in the plans a month before it aired and didn't stop shuddering until Brian came back.
