Jumping the Shark - when a show has a critical moment that makes it clear that the show is no longer what it used to be, and the remaining seasons continue to decline in quality.

What are your favorite shows that have that moment?

              House of Cards (US Version) all after S2 was garbage.
Shameless (US Version) How the show handled curing Frank’s liver disease was just too contrived and idiotic even for a show called Shameless.
True Blood, Season Five. The first two episodes of season four revealed that Sookie was a ferry and that was just too much to swallow. It was just so stupid. Thing is the rest of that season was incredible and the show introduced one of its best characters, The Vampire King of Mississippi (Russell Eddington). OMG he and his husband were just so incredible! Season five was just terrible and the final season was just unwatchable.
Friday Night Lights went to shit after season 4.

True Blood really went off the rails. It’s shameful because there were really some good storylines to pull from the books.

And the show had so many incredible characters as well.

Pam was great.

I will give you 24 hours to deliver that witch to me, if you don’t I will personally fuck, eat and kill each one of you!

I am wearing a Wal Mart sweatsuit for you, if that isn’t a show of my team spirit I don’t know what is.
