bacon 2824 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 06-09-05, 07:06 PM (EST) "Good shows gone bad" Remember when you would eagerly anticipate a certain show, but then they decided to make it crappy? Every good show gone bad has that fatal error that just makes you shake your head and remember when it used to be good. Some call this "jumping the shark". Here's a few examples. Life Goes on-Remember when this show first came on it used to be about the challenges of a family dealing with a teenager who had down syndrome? Suddenly, the show did a complete 180 on us and started focusing on Jesse, a fellow teen who had the AIDS virus. There's nothing wrong with a show wanting to raise awareness about such a disease, but it seemed like the show was shifting away from what made it popular to begin with...that Corky kid. Roseanne-Probably the best case of a good show gone horribly wrong. Once Dan had that heart attack it was all downhill. The last season had the Connor's striking it rich, by way of the lottery. Gee, the whole reason this show was funny was because they were so poor. Roseanne+Money=Crap. Who would have known? The Drew Carey Show-Why did they think it would be a good idea to transform The Drew Carey Show into The Mimi Show? Mimi was a funny character, in small doses. Plus, Carey all to quickly became obsessed with dance numbers(of all things). That would be fine if the dance numbers were actually funny instead of just sad. ER-Remember when the original cast was still on here? That was about 10 seasons ago. Sure, sometimes a show loses cast members, especially on dramas. The problem is that ER lost EVERY cast member and replaced them with, what seems to be, robots. The Real World-One of the worst things to happen to TRW wasn't even it's fault. It has to do with the fact that MTV no longer shows anything but reality. And not just reality, but reality that features the same exact reality that they've been showing us for the last decade. That same damn people keep popping up over and over on their reality shows. Why do I need to see Puck and Erik for the nine millionth time, just in a slightly different scenario? Plus, the show suffers from stereotypes. The girls know they have to act slutty to get on. There has to be a gay person. There has to be one black person. There has to be obnoxious frat-like white guys. It's just tired.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LadyT 5567 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-09-05, 08:04 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Good shows gone bad" I agree with you on The Real WOrld. When they started making them work together it was all downhill. Alias. When they had Vaughn married and his wife was on, hit a roadblock. Now it is getting better however getting bounced from one night to another isn't going to help. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Initiative season almost killed it. Family Ties. When that kid grew up, the show got old. Actually when Michael J Fox grew up that show grew old. Growing Pains. Ok, when Kirk Cameron got all powerful and dictated the show. They got rid of Julie in like one episode. They made Mike Seaver, who was awesome as a lovable smart aleck, sanctimonous. And they brought on Leo DiCaprio who still hasn't reached puberty.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I was still onboard with Alias after season 3, but season 4 has killed my love of the show. All kinds of continuity problems. No overarching storyline for the season. Too many self-contained episodes. Generally dumbed-down in an attempt to capture a broader audience. I don't have to THINK any more when I watch Alias. That's too bad. courtesy of Seana and Syren - thanks gals!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

HistoryDetective 9516 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-15-05, 03:11 PM (EST) 21. "RE: Good shows gone bad" First, Ross and Rachel were so over so long ago. There was not reason to shove them back together in the last coupel of seasons. It felt so artificial. Second, I didn't appreciate the implication that the only way to experience happiness is to have a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife and/or children. These characters were interesting enough as single people. In fact, they were celebrated as single people - that was their identity on the show and why it spoke to so many 20-somethings of my generation. Having every single one of them (except spin-off guy) end up in a relationship (and four of those with one or more rugrat) betrayed so much of what the characters and their experiences were about. courtesy of Seana and Syren - thanks gals!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

RealityMom 560 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 06-10-05, 07:41 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Good shows gone bad" LadyT, I definitely agree with you about "Family Ties". I never even saw the episodes with Courtney Cox because I'd stopped watching by the time she came on. I'd also have to include "Cheers" after Diane left. I never liked the relationship between Sam and Rebecca and really hated when they tried to have a baby together. What's been fun recently is watching the first few episodes of "Moonlighting" which just came out on DVD. Maddy and David were great together in the beginning. Cybill was gorgeous and Bruce had hair! The dialogue holds up really well. But then, when Cybill got pregnant the show went downhill, fast. I don't even remember all the details but Maddy was involved with some creepy guy and David got involved with Brooke Adams, who's now married to Tony Shaloub. The show had some great years but not at the end. For lots of shows, getting horizontal is definitely the jump the shark moment.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

strid333 2928 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 06-11-05, 05:50 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Good shows gone bad" I completely agree with The Drew Carey Show. I think the show officially jumped shark when Drew got into his coma and started having that messed up dream. And Christa Miller (Kate) decided to bale on the show and join her husband on Scrubs (which is still funny IMHO). That 70's Show used to be great for me but I stopped watching when Donna and Eric got back together again and then got engaged. Are they married now? I don't know. Is Jackie dating Hyde or Kelso? I don't know. Do I care? Not really. There are others that I lost interest in but none come to mind immediately other than maybe Everybody Loves Raymond. ELR is funny but I found a lot of the jokes were getting repeated. Three is the perfect number.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I thought that the finale was quite a twist that redefined the show. I can't see a re-run without thinking about the revelations of the finale and re-imagining the show every time.

It made no freakin sense.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Cause it's too much trouble to find out which one in the listings is for the new show, or is it the syndicated repeats again. The new ones get lost in a sea of repeats, especially if you have a dish that gets stations from each time zone. It makes me a little nuts.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Colonel Zoidberg 3645 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 02-05-07, 08:23 AM (EST) 37. "RE: Good shows gone bad" Are there any Family Guy fans here? The shows before cancellation were comedic gold. The shows since cancellation have generally been more like silver...still good, but lost a step, with a few exceptions (the episode with Meg being sold into slavery and with Brian and Stewie singing at a nightclub some to mind.) Most new episodes started off pretty good...until recently. I don't know when the last good episode was, but I can guarantee I own it on DVD. Last week's episode, where Brian and Stewie tracked down Rupert the teddy bear, was completely devoid of jokes and terribly written. And it's becoming the norm. Maybe we can just pretend those shows never happened and get the show on track...that or kill the show mercifully and start ramping up American Dad, which is still pretty well-written.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I think the idea behind it was that the four main characters have been so uncaring that they deserved to get some sort of punishment in the end. Yet, the foursome always got punished at the end of every episode. It's not as if they ever got away with their crudeness.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But I never rewatch the finale. Whenever I see it is that episode I change the channel. I hated the way they ended it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
