Jump The Shark: Diff'rent Strokes.
When did you think DS jumped the shark? I think it did when Kimberly left. I mean, take the best character out of a show, and keep it going? Stupid idea!

When Kimberly left it went down hill. I didn't really mind Maggie coming into the series, but Sam was kind of on the annoying side....

It jumped with Maggie #1 coming on the show with her cute son Sam. She married Mr D and the show became curious that.

Is it true that there was an episode in which Arnold caught Mr. Drummond peeking in on Kimberly taking a bath? Someone said this on Jump the Shark, but I have a hard time buying it. If its true, what is the episode number?

Anywho, I think it jumped the shark when Mr. Drummond remarried but DS was a good show overall. Take care, Tanya. [edited to fix a typo] |
