The site that has replaced jumptheshark.com is http://www.bonethefish.com . I see you already have a separate blog post for that but I wanted the info here so others like me who just today googled to find out what happened to jumptheshark have a handy answer in one place. Love the article though…I miss the site dearly (even though I hadn’t visited it in some time). I’d actually gone looking for it after seeing the latest iCarly where she goes in space. Yes, she has jumped the shark. More on that elsewhere however.

I am a major classic TV fan and I loved reading other peoples views regarding when shows did “Jump the Shark”. The loss of the site is sickening mainly because I am no longer able to read other peoples thoughts, but sometimes I would just browse the site and come across a show that I hadn’t even thought about in a long time. Memories are important to most people. The dismantling of the site is dispicable.

definitelly a trgic loss….thank you for the eulogy. JumpTheShark was a bit of history, now obliterated by banality. A harbinger of things to come for the internet?

I agree with your comments about the JTS site. Once it was fun, now it’s complete garbage. I went there today to see if they’d finally decided to restore the forums, which made JTS fun, but they hadn’t so I won’t visit it again. RIP JTS.

I couldn’t believe it! That site is garbage, just like TV guide. When will the dumbing down stop?

Agreed with Nominal. Unfortunately, TV Guide is in the business of advertisement, I.E. selling the very products that people are coming to critique. TV Guide needs to push the programs as they are, not offer a forum to critique the products featured. However, it did take a couple years from the initial purchase for the complete shutdown of this open forum. Perhaps there are additional/other factors in play; like new management with little appreciation or understanding of virtual community dynamics. Sadly, TV Guide has committed it’s own \Jump The Shark\ management decision with the stewardship of this site.

Something about that site must have angered TV execs. They bought that site with the express purpose of dismantling it, and they have done that.
