Jump the shark moment(s)?


My nomination is the alien episode, robot and oraungaton episodes were also pretty bad. Assuming they go that far, I won't be buying any of the post LW seasons on DVD!

I'd have to watch the series from the beginning to determine when this occurred, but it's the point at which Ponch went from motorcycle cop to social worker/holier-than-thou budinski.

He was like Charles Ingalls on an iron horse! 

How about the season 6 episode where all the cops - including Grossman and Harlan - were on a boat, shirtless? Think about it - Grossie, shirtless.

As to Ponch playing social worker, not sure when but yeah I agree. Haven't seen the shirtless episode. The only way that would peak my interest is if Brianne Leary was on the show but I digress!

And now....Deep Thoughts...

If Bruce Jenner went shirtless on "CHiPs", wouldn't they now need to blur out his man boobies on the re-runs...because, technically, they're now girl boobies.

Gee, a thin skinned female. Shocking. Or is that the Joker?

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Charles Ingalls on an iron horse! Good one!

I'd say it goes back to Season 5. The chick detective spin-off and then the finale karate cop spin-off episodes definitely chummed the waters. Of course, it's hard to call them CHiPs episodes with only 5 minutes or less of CHP screen time.

RIP Ron Swanson. Writers created your awesomeness in S1 and killed it in S7

That roller disco 2 part episode was pretty stupid.

Oh yes, VERY stupid!
