True Blood

First two seasons were fucking great and the third was pretty damn good but from there on the show turned to shit and never recovered. From bad pacing, side characters getting way more time than they deserved (even half of an episode was dedicated to a funeral for one of these characters) and even the main story lines being poorly written at times and having little payoff. Also in Season 5 they falsely advertised what a story line would be.

I also watched Season 8 of Dexter…This one requires no explanation but I should have stopped with either Season 4 or Season 7.

I watched both True Blood and Dexter until the end, after I had stopped enjoying both of them. Dexter started sucking as soon as Julie Benz showed up.

Season 10 of The Simpsons is no worse overall than seasons 8 or 9. It actually declined a bit after season 7. The show didn’t become truly bad until half-way through season 11. The definitive “jumping the shark” moment for The Simpsons was when they killed off Maude. I believe Brad Bird also stepped down as creative consultant around this point.

During my first year at university, I was living in a 17 square meter appartement with only one room. So when I had to get up in the morning, I turned on the TV to not fall back asleep and the only thing that wasn’t an infomercial or a morning show was Eureka. So even though I didn’t really liked it, I watchted it almost daily. I didn’t hate it, but it’s certainly not a show I’d watch for enjoyment.

Yep, add Eureka to my list. I liked it for a little while…

Smallville: Stopped enjoying it somewhere in Season 2, watched the entire show and hated myself for it.

Stargate: My brother bought them all on DVD and I just… watched them all.  : (

Heroes: Season 1 was great. Season 2 was not. Then it just got worse. I stayed til the end.

Modern Family: The first two or three seasons were good… I think…

Ultimate Spider-Man: Hated nearly everything about it from the beginning; watched every episode.

Rebels: I really wanted to like it. Don’t much. I’ll be back.

The Last Man on Earth: Hated it by the end of the first episode. Like some kind of horrific train wreck that I can’t look away from.

Did your favourite show jump the shark? Didn’t care? Didn’t realize??

Did something start out well, go downhill and drag you with it?

Are you “forced” to watch garbage with friends or family?

Do you just watch too much TV?

If you picked a “jumped the shark” moment and stopped watching something then I guess you can post that too, Mr. Smartypants.
