When did Seinfeld jump the shark? 🦈

Season 9, Episode 1

Seinfeld is often cited to have 'jumped the shark' in its final season, particularly with the episode 'The Butter Shave' (Season 9, Episode 1). This episode marked a shift towards more outlandish and less relatable storylines, moving away from the show's original comedic brilliance based on everyday situations. The decline is attributed to creative fatigue and a noticeable change in character dynamics, especially with Kramer’s increasingly eccentric behavior.
