When do you think Scrubs Jumped the Shark? Or has it ever Jumped the Shark? If you don't know what it means to "Jump the Shark" go HERE I think it jumped the shark the minute that tried to pretend Kim was in the show from season one. They did it tastefully yes but it was a shark jump non the less. Shark jump 2 would be all the baby crap. But if you read up on JumpTheShark.com they say Scrubs has yet to jump. |
It is all opinion. You go to all these sites about Jumping the Shark, and you see shows like Simpsons, South Park, Friends, Married with Children, Full House, Home Improvement, Seinfeld, Cheers, Fraiser, etc and you see 10,000 different opinions of when or if that show ever jumped or not. And, though some of them you are sure it jumped (Cheers, Fraiser, Seinfeld, Friends etc) you understand the people who claim it never did (excpet the Simpsons, if you don't think they jumped the shark 20 times by now, you are in denial). And I see the many varying opinions on Scrubs at sites, and I think they all have pieces of truth to them. Yeah, you can say it has not jumped yet, but you can understand people saying it jumped at My Fault, or Big Bird, or Bright Idea or Urologist/Transition, or alot of 6 and 7.
For my money, I don't think it ever officially jumped, but the closest to me would have to be Perspective/Therapeutic Month/Night to Remember/Fishbowl, it is like the Shark porn episode of Friends. The stupidity is just unreal, and even with suspense of disbelief, you just can't get past it. From Turk breaking his arm on the fan, to JD's DWI while on a Scooter, to Kelso's military leader being reincarnated as a fish and talking to the Janitor, it is just too much. |
i kind of liked the shark porn episode...
But to be relevant, I havent watched all the episodes yet (just finished season 5) but so far, i think its going good. Is Season 6 good? |
You liked The One with the Sharks?
I don't know if you are talking about Friends or Scurbs for your question, but it does not matter, since they both have the exact same answer.
Season 5 for both was quite good, both ending on a huge cliffhanger, and both containing some of the best episodes of the respective series, and both had the 100th episode, which were both incredible. And both had an episode widely regarded to best the best episode in the series (My Lunch and The One Where Everybody Finds out respectively).
Season 6 for both, was a relatively weak season when compared to other seasons, in both shows, it was obvious that alot of the time the writers and actors were just mailing it in, they do both however have some glimmers of greatness,(The One Where Ross got High, My Musical, My Cold Shower) and both of them had fantastic season finales (The One with the Proposal, and My Rabbit/My Point of No Return) with final scenes that absolutely floor you. |
