Writer's Block: Jumped the shark

Every so often, the question of the day is pretty good.
I gave up on The Simpsons long ago. That it keeps chugging along, apparently relying on the same stale formula of celebrity guests and rehashed plotlines, makes me sad. The new episodes don't ruin the old ones. But they do give me a sense that the people behind the show can't see how much they have sullied what was once the best show on TV.
Special mention for Supernatural, which is still good but struggled to bring it all together last season and maybe should have ended after the fifth year. I worry that it will become as painful to watch as Smallville did over a far too long 10 year run.
