PAD Has Jumped the Shark -- You Tell me When it Happened

[IgorSmiles]

Jumped the shark implies the show was at one time good.

Agree the show has dropped in interest for me, although the mix of players last week was OK. For me, the key to the show is the choice of players - I play alot of SNGs, so I enjoy seeing the approaches the various pros take at each stage. Let's face it, the thing that would really jump-start interest is if a couple of big time internet SNG wizards played - Johnny Bax is just one of many that immediately comes to mind.

That would be fun to watch - online wizards week - but they probably couldn't get enough footage to fill a week of shows.

And no one would want to watch a bunch of boring camera shy 20 year olds.

I swear ppl just wait around for a reason to use the term "jumped the shark." It is getting old and corny, and in this case completely unmerited imo..

I personally thought last week was one of the best PADs ever.

I thought last week was one of the best so far, so I disagree with the premise of this thread.

PAD is getting better. But it jumps the shark every time ALI NEJAD SPEAKS

Day One.

PAD has improved slightly from its early episodes, so I can't agree that it ever jumped the shark.

One of the reasons it's better is that Ali has toned it down since the early days.

I must say I have never understood the Nejad hate... I really don't remember him saying very much, since the very beginning

The fonz jumped the shark on water skis, not his motorcycle...
