    Thought this was hilarious... friend of mine came in to work today saying they were talking about this website on the Howard Stern show. It's called <a href="http://www.jumptheshark.com/">JumpTheShark.com</a>...

    They tally votes on some of the most popular TV shows on exactly at what point they "peaked"...

    The term "Jump the Shark" comes from "Happy Days" as the guy who runs the site and his friends always felt Happy Days reached it's peak (or ran out of material) when Fonzie jumped the shark on his motorcycle.

    Worth checking out -- I was busting up on some of the examples (moment when Beverly Hills 90210 jumped the shark -- one person voted for "when Tori Spelling was conceived")

    They should include the entire MTV network!

    I'd say they "Jumped the Shark" when they refrained from playing music videos and began playing Real World and Road Rules reruns!

    MTV just plain sucks!

    I sorta like "Real World" and "Road Rules", they just don't belong on MTV is all.

    Thanx for the link Clutch, very interesting site. Also very funny, even a lot of them knock some of the shows I grew up with and still enjoy [​IMG]

    Man, is there any show they don't have here?
