When a television starts to run out of decent scenarios, they often start to get really outside the realm of the original inytentof the series. The production people call it "jumping the shark" because it's nearly impossible to jump over a shark and the series plots are abnormal.

Cool television jargon.

I believe it started with this scene from Happy Days.

I always thought it was based on this...

fonzi literally jumped a shark, and it coincided with the show getting ridiculous and past it's figurative due date, and has since been used to state a show sucks now, and they should wrap it up.

Ninja me....... I should have read one more post.

You're probably correct. When I heard it it a few years ago, I went looking for the reason and found what I previously stated. Both make perfect sense.

No. They are definitely correct and only 1 makes perfect sense.:heh:

I totally missed it the first time around in the early 2000s, but Amazon Prime has all the Battlestar Galactica episodes.
Just watched the pilot mini-series and the first three episodes of Season 1.
Lot of folks said this was very well done.
So far so good.

you know, I remember this dude asking for advice a while back and then ignoring all suggestions...I think he sucks and we should just stop giving him options. We have given him plenty.

Seriously. Breaking Bad was the best drama ever in my opinion. Every season was great. I didn't love Madison Men as much as most people but watched a few seasons.

I think we have thrown just about everything at him. If he hasn't found something he likes in 10 fucking pages, then fuck him.

he could find something in less time just scrolling through Netflix.
