Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Family Matters a lot but seriously when it jumped it really really jumped the shark. It started as a normal family sitcom and then suddenly it became a scifi show with weird inventions, and for a family show they had many family members disappearing: Judy, Rachel, Mother Winslow (moved out and was hardly seen). It was said in the jump the shark thread that it jumped in every category. This is the only show where I can think of that really really changed (and went really really downhill) in the later years.

Happy Days also changed alot from beginning to end. It had some jump the shark moments as well.

I think Roseanne jumped the most. FM was still somewhat enjoyable although looking at that fake Harriet was a chore. :rolleyes:

Yeah, the last season of Roseanne was awful.
