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?

Dinosaurs. You know the one, with the annoying baby.

That show's last few episodes were clearly just theater kids having a bit of a gaff with the show.

I'm not familiar with the production story, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was because the puppets were aging and having issues, and the rich shit-ass show runners didn't want to shell out for replacements, so they just rode the show off in to the sunset.
