Talk:100 episodes

This link needs an explanation. It goes back to an episode of "Happy Days" in which Fonzie was water skiing and jumped over a shark. The series had been amongst the most popular in the US at that time. This single episode was seen as containing material that went beyond what was interesting or helpful to the series, and from this point onwards a decline was seen at least critically.<P>
Since that time jumping the shark has come to mean the over extension of what a TV show can believably do, or, more generally, the moment at which a show begins to go steadily downhill.<BR>

message: I separated the article into two sections. 
However, I kinda feel that the second section is just a rehash of information that can be found at, say syndication, and jumping the shark, and maybe should be removed? Daydream believer2 09:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unnecessary? 

message: A lot of this article reads like lists of examples with no explanation as to why any given example is important. (Seriously; look at how many of the recent edits are to the "Successes and Exceptions" section!) The fact that there are exceptions to the 100-episode rule does not mean that every single one needs to be listed! Also, a lot of the examples are the result of one or more contributors confusing a show being picked up by a new network (e.g., Cartoon Network) with syndication, which is not the same thing; I've removed some of them, but I've probably missed some as well.
Some other edits I've just made: I've killed the summary of a South Park episode because it was barely relevant to its own section and really just a glorified "In Popular Culture" entry. I've killed the American Idol one-sentence paragraph because it referred to a type of rerun on the same network rather than syndication. I've killed one of the two intro paragraphs because it looked like someone wrote a new intro without killing the old one.
I've done some work re-writing this, including lots of little stuff not mentioned above, but it's still a mess. See also the discussion of whether this needs to have content moved to / moved from / aligned with Broadcast syndication.
