Default When Did Mom Jump the Shark?

https://popculturereferences.com/whe...ump-the-shark/

Quote:
In a feature looking at if or when a TV series since 2006 "jumped the shark," Brian asks you all to determine when (or if) Mom jumped the shark.



Today, we look at when (or if) you folks believe that Mom “jumped the shark.”

This is “Just Can’t Jump It,” a feature where we examine shows that launched in 2006 or later and whether they “jumped the shark.” Jumped the shark means that the show had a specific point in time where, in retrospect, you realize that show was going downhill from there. Not every show DOES jump the shark. Some shows just remain good all the way through. And some shows are terrible all the way through. What we’re looking for are moments where a show that you otherwise enjoyed hit a point where it took a noticeable nose dive after that time and if so, what moment was that?

The great Jon Hein had a website devoted to this topic, but he sold it off in 2006 and after being maintained for a couple of years it was then merged into TV Guide in 2009, so I figured it’d be fun to look at shows that launched after the sale and see what we all think about whether they jumped the shark and, if so, when did it happen? Here is the archive of the show’s we have done far and what the judgments were for those shows.

Today, we look at the award-winning sitcom, Mom, about a mother and daughter who are both dealing with alcoholism and decide to both start Alcoholics Anonymous together as they slowly repair their relationship and help their fellow recovering addicts.

So first…DID IT JUMP THE SHARK? I don’t think so.

WHEN DID IT JUMP THE SHARK I don’t think it did, but I’d be up for opposing positions!

For me, it's when Christy left. The show could have been fine without her but I felt the writing for the final season was very lackluster.

I loved Christy and I never watched after she left.

I promised to watch the show after Anna Faris left, but in the end I couldn't.
Christy was my favorite character and also crush :P

Are you in the Facebook group for Mom? So many of the people there hate Christy and just complain about her and nitpick everything about the character. It gets on my nerves. I personally love her. She's my favorite character, too.

Hi Adamantium, sorry for the late reply, I'm not here much anymore and used to other boards when you get notifications once quoted

I don't have facebook but if I was in such a group I would've already left probably :P
Christy has become one of my favorite characters not only on this show, but ever.

How much do I miss this show
