As I was browsing the web about getting some info on "The Electric Company (HEY YO GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSS!), I found this web site that asks when a certain show reached its peak and vote (in other words... JUMPED THE SHARK (http://www.jumptheshark.com) )

There's one for Cartoon Network (http://www.jumptheshark.com/c/cartoonnetwork.htm) .

That site is really dumb. For the most part, people don't even suggest plausible turning points. They just pull any episode of a series out of the air and say that's when it jumped the shark. The guy who runs it has been on Howard Stern and Howard asked him when The Drew Carey Show jumped the shark, and he said something like, "The theme songs, too many theme songs, they changed them too much." Call me crazy, but the series was the same caliber it had always been after they alternated theme songs. This guy and his site are pointless. He's jumped the shark in my book.

One funny thing I've seen on TV about Jump the Shark was when Fez jumped a shark just like Fonzie did on happy days. Then someone said "this show will never be the same again." Kind of a funny inside joke.
