In your opinion, what TV shows have "jumped the shark"?

Asked by Aesthetic_Mess (7894points) January 13th, 2011

Jumping the shark is an idiom used to denote the point in a television program’s history where the plot spins off into absurd storylines or unlikely characterizations. These changes were often the result of efforts to revive interest in a show whose audience had begun to decline.
It could be a TV show that is off the air now because someone figured out that it jumped the shark, or one that’s on now, but the plots are just going down hill.

For me, I think Law & Order SVU and House have jumped the shark.
