jlhOkay, made a new group for cultural literacy. Today's topic:
What TV shows had a GOOD final episode?
sub topic:
What TV shows never jumped the shark?
The list from jumptheshark.com
Jumping the shark is based on a particular episode of Happy Days where the Fonz jumped over a shark tank with his motorcycle. It was a silly stunt and pointed to the end of the show as a quality thing. Often shows jump when they bring on a new character to breathe new life into a show. This goes back to Holly's comments in Cassie's LJ about how series don't know when to quit.
By the way, Mary Tyler Moore used to be on the 'never jumped' list but isn't any more.
