I have never adhered to the great Pink Floyd thing I really like them I do, but they are just not up there with Yes and Genesis(Gabriel) of course and others of the time.My faves are Wish you were here and The Division Bell. What puzzled me most was their media acceptance almost everywhere where others were almost spat on, but jumping this bloody shark thing probably not.

Well I didn't mean to offend anyone I just didn't think a show like Happy Days(so-so at it's best) would merit attention from anyone outside of the US

I have to admit that my interest to the band decreased when RW left...When I heard TFC, I felt something (not someone) was missing... It was the great teaming when the band played together, so for me TFC was not a really good album, just because of that...It's noticeable how the rest of the band tore apart each other, definetly that was not PF...However, Gilmour's era is not excellent , yet not the worst... You can hear great guitar works and progressive sound in those records...
Hence.. They never jump the shark

Well, I can say, I can never heard of no happy days, or jumping the shark. But I sometimes catch beverly hills 90210 (90251, ejej, why?), does tht count????
No, now I think we all know what jumping the shark is because there was a previouse Jumping the shark thread were it explain the hole shark episode, PATETICO, BOLOOOOOO!

As long as you provincial foreigners got to see David Hasselhoff, we're well represented. Although I think he had more of a witty, metrosexual weltschmerz in Knight Rider- Baywatch was a little too self-indulgently artsy for me.

First off, Roger Waters is a spoiled little b*tch (and that's the short version)  If he didn't want to be in Floyd anymore, by God, there would be no more Floyd at all!!! Secondly, I don't think Floyd ever jumped the shark because they knew to release stuff more sparsely as their career got older. They kind of starved their fans before they fed 'em to be sure that their records would do well. Smart marketing scheme, eh? All of their material is quality and they never put out a record that was crap IMO.

Even though 'Momentary Lapse Of Reason' is below par AOR material, in my opinion, it's not fair to say that they jumped the shark with that album- else you would be disgregarding 'The Division Bell' and the excellent 'Pulse' live set.
Therefore, I voted for 'never'.
