The whole Joey/Rachel thing in the last couple of seasons of Friends.

Oops, Joey accidentally proposed to Rachel. But she said "yes", so Joey is now actually in love with her. But we can't do that to Ross, so let's just be friends and forget it ever happened...

Oops, now Rachel is in love with Joey. But having sex with each other is too awkward, and we can't do that to Ross, so let's just be friends and forget it ever happened.

The whole dream season on Dallas when Pam wakes up and Bobby is in the bathroom.

Everything on Glee after the main characters graduated from high school.

Laverne and Shirley in Burbank without Shirley.

South Park I think has been pretty good with this.

“Psych: The Musical” was also awesome, as was the “That 70’s Show” episode poking fun at 70’s variety shows.

Have to agree with The Andy Griffith Show. It was never the same after we all learned that the Court House/Jail was green inside the whole time.

I recently completed a (very long but worth it) rewatch of Dallas. That was season 9. I don’t know if I disagree with that, but there was certainly some great stuff to watch after that. After the shower scene, later in S10 when Pam randomly crashed and was horribly disfigured in the resulting fire, seems like another shark, jumped.

S12 and the whole thing with JR’s illegitimate son JR Beaumont definitely had a jumped shark feeling to it.

Spock's Brain" in TOS
—And sadly that was the 1st epi of season 3

Dallas Bobby returns from the dead and the entire ninth season is revealed to have been an extended dream in "Blast from the Past."
—-I give them credit for going SO insane on this one

David and Maddie finally sleep together in "Moonlighting". The show was never the same after that.
FACT

Jack Bauer's Father and Brother are terrorist in 24 and he has to torture and kill them
Whaaat? When was that?

Season 9 was insane overall. For a couple of episodes, Sue Ellen went on a long bender and got lost in the (strangely neat) streets of downtown Dallas, shot in a style similar to the Mall Santa scene in A Christmas Story with blurry dramatic closeups and a general sense of chaos.
