As I get ready for bed, I look over at the clock radio wistfully realizing that when Bob Edwards nudges me awake with his soothing voice, it will be the last time.
I’ll have to wake up extra early so I can hear his last show repeat from 5am to 10am. Perhaps by the 3rd tape delay, I’ll be sick of hearing it and ready to move on with my life.
You should add that to http://jumpingtheshark.com/ . It’s a great little web page devoted to this sort of thing. The titile is based off the episode where Fonzie tried to jump the shark on water skies- that was the moment when ‘Happy Days’ was no longer a good show.
When someone asked the creater of ‘The Office’ why he was calling it quits after just 3 seasons he replied “because no one has invented a boy that can jump a shark” (or something to that effect).
It happens to the best of shows.
Whoops, I ment to post this for ‘The Party’s over’ blog. I’m sure you all figured that out however.
