How do you think BB jumped the shark during it's run? I think when Cindy lost her lisp, the show jumped the shark...that lisp was Cindy's trademark on the series.

If it didn't jump the shark before Cousin Oliver came along, it did then.

The show never jumped the shark.

Me and 5000 others on www.jumptheshark.com say so

Definitely Cousin Oliver's arrival...although to me at the time, seeing what a knockout Jan

became in the 5th season ALMOST makes up for the addition of that annoying little mutant...how could ANYONE ever have liked that kid???? What a goon he was!!

Maybe its a coincidence that when Oliver showed up the storylines went to hell........it was time to start lettin those kids live like teenagers.Why didnt Marcia and Jan have boyfriends yet????From what I've read on this site they had more than thier share of admirers!!!!!JUST ONCE I'd like to see Jan walk through the kitchen tryin to hide a hickey!!!!!
