Jumped the shark 

A metaphor that identifies the exact moment a TV show has reached its creative peak. Or to put it bluntly, it’s the beginning of the end of a once great show. The moment in which it becomes clear the writers are out of good ideas and the show has begun its decent downhill. It’s usually some ridiculous stunt, story line, major character change, or huge fundamental shift in the premise of the show that is viewed as nothing more than a desperate attempt to raise viewership and declining ratings. The phrase refers to an episode of the popular 1970’s sitcom Happy Days, in which one of the main characters is water skiing (while wearing his trademark leather motorcycle jacket mind you), and literally jumps over a shark.
As far as I’m concerned, America’s Next Top Model jumped the shark when Tyra chose that air-headed idiot Nicole as the winner, instead the much more talented and deserving Nik.

jumped the gun 

You jump the gun when you start doing something before the appropriate time.
Sorry I jumped the gun by telling Carol the news before checking with you

jumped the shart 

It's like jumping the shark but worse. Not only does the show now suck but it's sticky and smells like shit. Not to mention it ruined a pair of good shorts.
Diff'rent Strokes was great until they introduced that annoying little redheaded kid. Now that show is shit - it defintely "jumped the shart".
