They should have never switched Darren's on Bewitched... Fran and Maxwell shouldn't have got together on The Nanny... Or Mulder and Scully on the X-Files (never mind having Mulder leave the show!)... Or Tony and Angela on Who's the Boss... Optimus Prime shouldn't have been killed off in the animated Transformers series... They should have stopped after three series of Prison Break... No one quite knows where Lost went off the rails... And Fonzie certainly shouldn't have donned the water ski's in Happy Days.
Maybe they want to add a new character or kill one off.
Perhaps they want to head down a previously unexplored storyline to "freshen up the show."
Sometimes it will work.
At other times they will Jump the Shark.
I wonder... Can a ministry jump the shark?
As someone who has been involved in and heard of many a ministry "changing/shaking things up to give it an injection of life," I think they can.
But I DON'T think that is the worst thing in the world.
The worst thing is to do nothing different if it's required.
Ironically, a show which "jumps the shark" was already on the downward spiral.
