Homeland - How they gon kill off _____ in the third season? I feel like season 4 is gonna be an entirely new show now.

Can't think of one specific, but rule of thumb is that if a show has a "will they/won't they" couple and they eventually hook up, show's over.

Also, when X-Men cut their budget and went with a cheap-ass animation studio for god knows WHAT reason

I havent watched it yet but I heard the shows quality fell off a roof after season 1

I'd say after season 2, but yea. I'm not hyped for season 4 at all right now after last season.

Homeland was piff the first 2 seasons and then like halfway into the middle of season 3 I just stopped caring. Still haven't finished it and knowing that _____ is off the show now I'm not sure if I have the desire to catch up.

The one where Landry kills a guy

 

[DaylitoJames]

When Gina just lived in LA for majority of the season... thsts when I knew Martin wasn't piff anymore

Season 4 of "Fringe". Anybody who has watched at least the first 3.5 seasons of the show knows what I'm talking about. I have never seen a show do something as atrocious as that.

Joey and Rachel's relationship on Friends



Its nearly unwatchable because of how awkward it feels

Im not mad at all. That character and his elements had to go

I wanna see more spy shyt, and less of that bullshyt. So, im excited for season 4

 

[Monoblock]

The one where Landry kills a guy

Now hold up that was during that godawful writers strike in season 3. They righted the ship big time with seasons 4 and 5 and it went down as one of the greatest Tv shows of all time.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

Dexter season 4 ending... i think the whole world knew it would be downhill from there

 

[pete clemenza]

Back in the day it was the show Lost... when Ben turned that giant wheel in the cave to 'move the island' I knew it was a wrap.. and it was

The Simpsons have been bad for so long now that i cant even remember when it was good

i'm guessing around 97-98 was when it become this mess we have now


after some research i have come to the conclusion that this episode was the end of the classic era http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Principal_and_the_Pauper

In the episode, Seymour Skinner begins to celebrate his twentieth anniversary as principal of Springfield Elementary School when a man arrives claiming that Skinner has assumed his identity. Principal Skinner admits that his real name is Armin Tamzarian, and that he had thought the true Seymour Skinner, a friend from the army, had died in the Vietnam War. Armin leaves Springfield, but is persuaded to return later in the episode

Jon Hein, who coined the term "jumping the shark" to refer to negative changes in television series, writes in Jump the Shark: TV Edition, "We finally spotted a fin at the start of the ninth season when Principal Skinner's true identity was revealed as Armin Tamzarian."
