All right you pop culture fans. This is a three part quiz for you T.V./movie fans.

There are three things that I want to get listed

a) Jumping the shark, when did your favorite show go from awesome to ridiculously stupid. This term refers to the episode where Fonzie jumps over a shark in a pair of speedo's and a leather jacket, after that the show was never the same.

b) Nuking the fridge. The oh come on really? moment from a movie that so seperates from reality that the movie just becomes crap after that. This term refers to Indy surviving a nuclear blast by crawling into the fridge.

c) The unexplained/what happened there moment or plot point or character who's actions or fate were never ever explained.

So I'll start

Jumping the shark - Office, the marriage between Jim and Pam, took a great show and except for rare bits of genius took a lot of the bite out of the show with their cutesy interviews and bad marriage jokes

Nuked the Fridge - Spiderman 3, when Peter Parker under the influence of the alien symbiote displays his new villianous edgy persona by becoming an emo dancing machine

The unexplained. whatever happened to Chuck Cunningham Ritchies older brother who went upstars to get a basketball and was never heard from again. In fact in the final episode Mr Cunningham raises a glass and toasts his two children. Where's Chuck, is his skelatal remains still in the attic searching for his basketball?
