A lot of you may be already aware but for the rest of Chimpout members who like shows both current and long gone JumpTheShark is a great site.

The name comes from a "happy days episode". In this episode the cool kid "Fonzie" in a leather jacket, on water ski's, jumps a shark. That episode was considered the turning point of the show when it started to go downhill.
JTS has a huge list of television shows and you can leave comments about whether you feel that a show jumped the shark or not.
Its patron saint is Ted McGinley because when he joined a show the show would usually be canceled a short time later.
It's worth checking out.
