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?

There are just so many examples of this. I like the shows that recognize that they have completed the story they set out to tell and either call it quits or change up the format completely.

One that comes to mind is Arrested Development. Season 4 was really difficult to watch and follow. It was great to get the hang back together, but it didn't need to happen, TBH.

I was actually sad to hear Ted Lasso coming back. Just let good things be...

Definitely a hard one, it was just too late to start it again, people had moved on. Then due to filming schedules they did things with people individually rather than together forgetting that it was the ensemble cast that made it fun. People either hadn't changed in 5 years or changed too much, it all just felt so forced
