If your show aired on ABC in the ’90s, it was very likely that your cast would end up filming a vacation episode at Disney World. Whereas most of the shows filmed at the Mouse House were shiny happy series like Family Matters, Full House, and Boy Meets World, one would think that the downtrodden Conner clan would have a subversive take on the so-called Happiest Place on Earth. Alas, the family dutifully marveled at all the amusement park had to offer; even sourpuss Darlene, who did her best to resist its charms, eventually gives in to Disney World after some quality time with Winnie the Pooh.

I don't know if it jumped the shark, after all it did have it's funny moments but I still wouldn't say that it was one of the show's greatest episodes. If there was ever a moment that I think where the show jumped the shark I would say that was probably when Roseanne and Dan got pregnant with their fourth child. To me it seemed like they were just running low on idea's at this point and decided to do this to get people interested in the show again because over the years they had lost viewers because newer shows had come out.

ABC jumped the shark when Disney bought it.
