When do you think GG jumped the shark? I think it jumped the shark when the show moved to CBS...they didn't treat the show with respect.

The show was still good when it was on CBS, the time slot was not.

As I wrote to the jump in the shark website: NEVER (neither did I Love Lucy)

NEVER

Well I haven't seen every episode yet but I would have to say never. From reading about the series fianle, GG couldn't have left the air with a better storyline.

I also agree with Osh that I Love Lucy never jumped the shark either.

I don't believe the show ever "jumped the shark" either. The writing was consistent throughout the run and the acting from all four actresses was sparkling and spot-on. I think many other shows jumped the shark when adding other characters that weren't part of the original cast, which, luckily, GG didn't do.
