Showing Original Post only (View all)Name a TV show and when it "Jumped the Shark"... [View all]
If you don't know what Jumped the Shark means you can look it up here.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once they revived Buffy.
End of Season 5, beginning of season 6.
It's a testament to the show that it still remained watchable after this but it starts to get even more teen angst / melodramatic after this. Up to this point those aspects somehow miraculously work in its favour, after this it starts to go off the rails IMO.
Angel - When Angel takes over Wolfram & Hart
Season 5 I think
The series was already shaky before this but it completely goes off the tracks after this.
House - After House is institutionalized.
Start of Season 6
Those episodes are actually some of the best. But after this the series seems to loose its way. I have yet to see the final season.
