Jump The Shark
www.jumptheshark.comWhen ever I hear that my favourite TV series is going to have a new season made, I am always a little nervous. Often, the sequels don't match up to the originals, especially with reality TV shows, which seem to get further from reality the longer they run.
Jump the Shark is a phrase that was coined several years ago by the makers of the website with the same name. It basically means when a series of shows has reached, and then gone past, its peak. Here you'll find plenty of opinion about the popular TV shows of our age,and more than a spattering of TV shows from ages gone by.
There is a simply mind-blowing list of shows covered, which you can browse in a number of ways through the navigation panel on the left. Clicking a show title brings you to the vote page, with a very short description and the top reasons voted why this show might have "bitten", this being the terminology the site's creators use for reasons why it has jumped the shark.
Use the See All Reasons button to expand the list of bites, and if you don't see your personal reason listed you can mail the sites creators to hae them add it to the list.
