Jumping the Shark

My gaffer was watching Waterloo Road earlier and although I can't abide the programme I'd say that it jumped the shark* when they relocated. Arguably a similar move didn't harm The Phil Silver's Show, but it does tend to be the end of most shows.

So, my question is what would you say has jumped the shark and when?

*the phrase refers to The Fonz jumping a tank with a shark in during an episode of Happy Days and it is generally agreed that the show just went downhill from there.

Buffy the vampire slayer, should have finished at season five. The only bright spot being the musical episode after that

Countless shows do it, such a shame.

Currently Benidorm has done it! And Shameless went on about 4 series too long.

Is Skins still going? Used to be great but got very,very bad.

writers block, filler episodes...or disputes are probably the worst reasons for shit episodes..

the walking dead had one that was god awful...they even brought in some strange music that just didnt fit in, and the episodes story line was utterly pointless

Coronation Street should have stopped when Elsie Tanner buggered off.

A lot of American shows end up like that, were brilliant but ran out of ideas, thinking cheers, Roseanne, even the Simpsons, would still rather watch repeats of those than all the over dramatised reality shite we have to deal with now, storage wars etc, grrr fuckin awful, thank god for bbc4! Lol. X

I watched the first 5 episodes, that was enough for me, but when it ended I watched the last few, predictable shite in my opinion.
