Thank you for directing us to this article. What a lovely writeup to a lovely person...

Do you know what I think has jumped the shark? The use/term of jumped the shark. I mean, seriously.

No kidding. I get SO tired of hearing/reading that phrase every time a show does something unprecedented or daring.

The interesting thing is that with the relationship, they can go back to how they were in earlier seasons, you know? Banter, joking, pranks, etc, with some tender moments in there. (And we'd better get at least one hot sex scene!) Anti's were complaining about all the angst and love sickness... well, that will be all gone for at least a little while. ;)

Exactly. Is it really jumping the shark or something that as a viewer, you don't like the direction it's going. I've been a fan of this show since season 1 and viewers have been claiming that the show jumped the shark since season 2.

season 2-Stacy. Jumped the shark.
season 3-Tritter. Jumped the shark.
season 4-Changing of the fellows. Jumped the shark.
season 5-Kutner suicide. Jumped the shark.

The ONLY way that this show will ever jump the shark to me is when HL decides to leave and the producers replace him with another pain ridden doctor. His name would be Hoose and his limp would be on the left leg.

LOL yeah, after I wrote my comment I was also thinking about all the arcs on the show (some of which I didn't think were that great, really) that triggered the shark-jump accusation.

I vote for the new doctor's name to be Condo, and he's a surgeon with only 6 fingers. ;)

"Is it really jumping the shark or something that as a viewer, you don't like the direction it's going." And really, this is the issue. Your entire post is made of WIN. Honest, direct and insightful. Thanks. ♥

Exactly. Also, here's what Peter Blake has to say about this:

We addressed shark jumping already, in one of the first scenes of “Here, Kitty.”

I didn't read the article, but this--Do you know what I think has jumped the shark? The use/term of jumped the shark. I mean, seriously.--I agree with. I think that people use it so much that it has begun to lose meaning. Similar to how the term "Mary Sue" is thrown around, but no two people can actually agree about what it means.

I feel the exact same way about that term. It is so overused, and people only use it when something happens that they don't like.

This made me ROFL. Very true though.

I concluded this idiot isn't a Huddy and is only sulking so he/she wants to take it out on Lisa.
