Heroes jumped the shark with their first season finale, and have yet to recover.

CSI jumped the shark when Grissom and Sarah started "dating".

The CSI franchise as a whole jumped the shark when CSI: Miami debuted.

ER jumped the shark when they didn't end the series after Dr. Green's death.

Sandler, Myers, Ferrell, Jack Black, Jim Carrey have all seen their careers go downhill since their earlier movies/SNL careers.

Land of the Lost? Really? Man that movie makes me want to commit suicide. Just the fact that anyone wants to see it means humanity is doomed.

CP jumped the shark when the Random Thoughts Thread was created. Since then it has been on the 1st page for like 45 consecutive weeks and is nothing but a bunch of mindless chatter. Mindless chatter which has been like two thirds of all my posts on this board.

CP probably came really close to jumping the shark just before the "reputation" system was implemented. Glad it didn't turn out that way, though

I'm kind of glad it is gone because it seemed too random (not arbitrary, I love you mods! (platonic love of course)).

One blue square and I automatically assumed someone was a crap disturber, one red square and I thought they must be gods.

Now if I could have all my Exp. squares transformed to Rider green that would be pure awesomeness.

I don't think I'll ever get sick of CP. Every time an annoying turd gets 'lifetime suspension' I remember why I love this place. Only thing that bugs me is that we can't use the word that describes a kid without a dad. The mods trust us with ass, prick, and bitch. Why not bastage?

Yes. Honestly I was so out of shape for that game that I was concentrating on not puking on the ice more than scoring. Now that I think of it I really didn't let loose offensively at all that game, and I'm usually a forward. I'll redeem myself next year if I can.
