Maybe a master spread sheet but also a category on each show page that says something like:
JTS episode: Season 3 Ep4 when Bill, Tom and Capt. Smith go back in time to 1920's Chicago.

Yes. Somewhere in season 3 for the Walking Dead, and season 2 for Westworld. Maybe season 3 of Heroes too.

I loved Heros.

I'm old enough to remember when the guy who coined the phrase made the website jumptheshark.com to keep track but then sold it to TVGuide

I'd say Walking Dead officially jumped the shark with the fake Glenn kill where he hid under a dumpster, lol
Heroes would be when HRG was shot in the eye and died. But then, he is casually given Claire's blood, so he comes back to life.

It was a sad day when TV Guide bought the rights to Jump The Shark.

Re Walking Dead, yeah that's when I tuned out, but IMO it went downhill way before that. I think I was just holding out hope up until then.

Too subjective to be effective.

Who determines when a show jumps the shark? For different people those are going to be different moments.

Maybe rotten tomatoes style voting.

Would be redundant since there are already episode ratings. (And those are useless.)

The clear sign of a show about to "jump the shark" is when you see Ted McGinley join the cast.He was called the patron Saint of shark jumping because it seems as soon as he was cast the show began its downward slide and was never the same.Probably a coincidence because he was a nice guy and a decent actor,but that was his curse for a long time.according to the book JUMP THE SHARK.
Another sign is when the romantic tension between the male and female lead leads finally to marriage (MOONLIGHTING) or when there's a vacation involved or they have a "very special episode".
One more CLASSIC shark jump came when they introduced "cousin Oliver " on the BRADY BUNCH. It upset the entire tic-tac-toe dynamic of the.show.
That's just a few examples of " jumping the shark ".

What I want is a site where you can look up info on shows but it won’t spoil past the last ep you watched…

I'm binging through a couple right now where I know the bloom is off the lily, but I have that Fuck it, I can finish this attitude about it, but still, I would like to see what the consensus is on where the JTS episode was.
