Scott Bomboy's Blog

Last night, the handful of loyal chatters and bloggers on our MyFoxPhilly.com live chat room seemed to feel that the last two shows - and the entire season have been a big disappointment.

There were allusions to "jumping the shark" - when a TV show has become heading down the path to mediocrity and boredom because the show's original premise has been lost.

As you'll remember, the hit show "Happy Days" lost its way when they had Fonzie jump over a live shark as part of a series-ending cliffhanger.

Not that Simon Cowell is the Fonz, but among the veteran Idol watcher in our group, there was a clear feeling that the show may have seen its best days already.

Most of the singer were flat or sharp, or lethargic.
The show is still a powerhouse in the ratings. But I'm curious to know if you feel that Simon, Randy and Paula have jumped the shark!
