QotD: This Show Never Sucked
Which TV show never "jumped the shark"?

Seinfeld, by far. It was funny, well-written and a great show from the first season to the last. There's no 'last season' where the ratings were dropping and some cute kid had hit puberty and become 'not so cute' so they had to bring in some 'new cute kid' LOL! I understand that is definitely a dilemma with shows that feature children, so even more kudos to Jerry Seinfeld for being smart enough to bypass that pothole. Seinfeld is the epitomy of 'comfort television'. There ARE no bad episodes! I am an avid fan so I could go on forever naming them off! It was 4 people in a show about 'nothing' and it was and is forever awesome! When I pick up the remote and start 'flipping' no matter what day or time, if I come upon an episode of Seinfeld. That's it! It doesn't matter what I 'thought' I might find, when I find Seinfeld I know there is not much hope of finding anything better to watch! DELORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (saw that one the other night teehee) MULVA??? LMAO!!
I would also like to throw a small bone to Full House. Although the kid situation was definitely a factor, they handled it beautifully and successfully!

Its strange --- so many of my friends just love love love Seinfeld, but I never warmed to it as much.... I'd watch and usually enjoy it, but never had to be "must see" for me.
But I DO agree about the not jumping the shark part -- they stayed consistent throughout their whole run.
