don’t you just hate it when your
favorite shows get really really lame do
you hear something
it’s a buzzin maybe it’s a fly-in
beehive welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 shows that jump the shark I
once saw the Fonzie something on TV that
just might do the trick
for this list we’ll be focusing on
previously well-loved TV shows that were
ruined thanks to a ridiculous or
out-of-character moment I was just
trying to be funny but we are gonna have
an addition to the family
we disqualified shows that overstayed
their welcome or lost quality over time
number 10
Lois and Clark hook up Lois and Clark
the New Adventures of Superman well
we’re getting married in four days and
I’ve never been happier in my life and
every time that things are going great
between us something happens and I just
know that something bad is gonna happen
to mess up our wedding I just know it
when a show banks on the will they or
won’t they dynamic does anybody keep
watching once they get together uncanny
how that works the writers of this show
tried everything to keep Supes and his
intrepid lady reporter friend apart from
long dormant Nazis to ancient curses a
curse yes God cast upon your loves
sumptuous ago by a wicked vindictive
soul who was bound and determined to
destroy your love forever but the series
kryptonite was definitely when Clark
finally married Lois or at least what he
thought was Lois
she was actually a frog eating clone who
was trying to kill the president
we already got to the president he’s a
clone tool number nine
Marissa shoots Trey the OSI in the
finale of an already dismal second
season sad little rich girl Marissa
finds her would-be rapists Trey duking
it out with his brother
seeing no alternative she shoots tray to
save Ryan as you do though he doesn’t
die Marissa is expelled from school the
next season you almost killed another
kid I don’t even hear a hint of remorse
in your voice because I don’t have any
she’s never setting foot in this school
again battle teacher while this
certainly shook things up in the OC the
ratings barely picked up even when they
killed off Marissa altogether the show
ended after season four baby I’ve been
here before
number eight his name isn’t Michael
Vaughn alias I love you said that’s why
I need to tell you something just so
there’s no secrets between us okay
whenever it is I can e’en but still tell
me you’re a bad guy wanting to mix
things up a little the writers of this
spy thriller threw some peppers into the
gumbo and revealed that shotgun wasn’t
who he said he was
what are you telling me well for
starters my name isn’t Michael Vaughn
but when the artist formerly known as
Vaughn begins to explain the
significance of all this he is
interrupted by a car crash than credits
although this revelation was meant to
fuel new storylines alias ended with an
abbreviated fifth and final season
number seven the great gazoo the
Flintstones
now then I suppose the usual amenities
are in order I am the Great Gazoo and I
thank you for rescuing me cuz you know
aliens cavemen that whole connection
this pointless addition to the
Flintstones final season appeared in 11
episodes although no one’s sure why only
seen by Fred Barney and the children of
the series this pompous pint-sized
spaceman was banished to prehistoric
earth by Jeff hello I’m not only
undependable but I’m a bit of a kook
that’s why I’m here remember I’m being
punished with him he brought a storyline
about trying to return to his home
planet an arc that was not resolved
before the show’s cancellation do you
think you’ll be back I don’t know bond
might be better if he wasn’t look at all
the trouble he caused us number 6 cousin
Oliver The Brady Bunch
to a new family not many TV characters
are so useless they get an entire trope
named after them he said wherever I go
terrible things happen they’re right the
namesake of cousin Oliver syndrome this
8 year old jinx was brought into the
Brady Bunch
to add some youth to the cast in the
series fifth season well I guess that
was an accident too how come we’re
having all these accidents only since
Oliver moved in yeah I like Oliver
buddies and cheeks but when he tainted
the final six episodes most viewers
wished this mini John Denver would leave
on a jet plane bus or the back of a
stray dog and not come back again but
you’re all doing this your own risk
we’ll take our chances okay number five
season two and beyond heroes I’m Charlie
oh you’re gonna do fine
this show had a fantastic superhero
premise but lost all momentum in season
two when Peter the most important and
powerful character suddenly got amnesia
after he spent the exciting first season
discovering his abilities what’s your
name
this of course came after that whole
saved the cheerleader save the world
plot didn’t really go anywhere all
heroes did after that was pile on more
and more characters rehash story line
after storyline and drift into cheesy
soap opera territory this wall game
Nehemiah come-ons inside that
extraordinary buddy of yours
number four time travel lost
this series started off with a bang or a
crash and had viewers rabid to discover
the secrets of the mystifying island
polar bears don’t usually live in the
jungle spawn but it didn’t take long for
things to unravel with a little help
from a writer strike whether or not
you’re down with polar bears and smoke
monsters this shows increasing overuse
of time travel and flash sideways in
later seasons was a red flag I think it
may have dislodged us this large this
from one time with two different
storylines in two different time periods
the series was confusing to casual
viewers add erratic time jumps to one of
those plots and well you’re lost Oh what
what’s going on don’t even think about
it early don’t even think it early hey
damn it number three winning the lottery
Roseanne longer is the biggest one in
the history of Illinois at the hundred
and eight million dollars the final
season of this blue-collar comedy begins
with the titular comedienne striking it
rich in the lottery to the tune of 108
million dollars and this storyline
completely changed the nature of the
show out were the everyday struggles of
the average American family and in were
visits from tabloid journalists first
ladies and princes how do you think the
lottery is going to change your lives
well not much we’re probably just gonna
be the same people we always work yeah
only happy spoiler alert in the finale
they revealed the entire show was made
up and Dan was dead bummer
let’s tell Dan now number two it was all
a dream
Dallas
an overhaul of the creative team at the
end of season eight coincided with one
of the show’s popular characters Bobby
Ewing being killed off
the next year did so poorly Patrick
Duffy was convinced to reprise his role
in a season 9 finale shocker
when confused fans tuned in to the
season 10 premiere they learned that the
entire previous season had been a dream
I think like I just saw ghosts
I thought I did that’s right the whole
season that’s a lot of hours of your
life you’re not getting back it’s over
none of that happened before we launched
our top pick to the Sharks here are a
few honorable mentions and it’s kind of
weird spending our last moments together
bent over a table with our naked pots so
I always hoped it’d be Ryan look out
dog oh my god
sliders
I guess now is as good a time as in
number one
Fonzie jumps the shark happy days shark
that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever
heard
stupid yes also dumb but it’s something
I got it through the top spot has to go
to the show that spawned the entire
trope only Fonz that’s me got discovered
by a talent scout at Arnold’s and he’s
going to Hollywood set in the third part
of an already questionable Hollywood arc
this episode is cited as the moment
Happy Days quality began to slip eager
to impress his fans
the Fonz straps on a pair of water skis
and literally yes literally jumps over a
shark
