Sesame Street jumped the shark when Mr. Hooper's death was revealed on the show on Thanksgiving Day 1983. This episode drew the largest audience the show has ever had because it taught everyone, young and old, about the meaning of death.
Though the show's ratings did start to decline when Jim Henson, the voice of Ernie, passed away in May 1990.
I wonder if ratings will fall even further now that the actress who played Maria is retiring?

Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In jumped when Judy Carne, Goldie Hawn, Henry Gibson, Arte Johnson, JoAnne Worley, et al, left during 1970 and '71. The last two years just plain stank.

My Popeye JTS was the 1960-62 King Features TV series. IMO Al Brodax, the producer, was no Max Fleischer.

To me, I think the original Our Gang series jumped the shark when Darla left the group.

The Mike Douglas Show twice jumped. First in 1978 when the show moved from Philadelphia to Hollywood, and second when he switched syndicators after Group W dumped him for John Davidson.
