JUMP THE SHARK
"Sex Education" (5x04)
As stated earlier, here is where the show loses some of its spark. This episode uses an outbreak of STD's among the elderly as a metaphor for getting contraceptives to teens. It is with this episode that the show takes not only a kind of nasty stab at people who are interested in morals, it takes a dip in writing quality. The shows bad guys become completely 1-dimensional In the previous episode, they introduced Councilman Jamm, who has no other function than to be a jerk. Nothing he does is funny or logical. He is unpleasant to watch and makes every scene he is in uncomfortable to watch. The "bad guys" in this episode are also portrayed this way.
There is a laziness here that pops up more and more from this point forward on the show.
