Top 20 Exact Moments That Killed TV Shows 

Dick & Dom "It never recovered".........."The show ran for another two years". Looks like I can pinpoint the exact moment Watch Mojo ran out of content.

I've never seen Dick and Dom, but I sincerely doubt that a T-shirt worn in one episode, two years before the show was even cancelled, had anything to do with it

Blaming Ollie Murs for XFactor failing when in reality Honey G and the show pushing the blatant racism and mockery of the most popular genre at the time was the death of XFactor

In the US, we call that "jumping the shark," when one particular scene or episode is the turning point in a TV show, and the rest of it is all down hill from there. That phrase comes from when Fonzie, on "Happy Days", jumped over a shark on a pair of water skis wearing his leather jacket. The show just wasn't the same anymore.

I have to rush to the defence of Sylvester McCoy's era here. His first series was very mixed, but there were some really good stories in there. His last series was amazing, but it might have been too late by then.

So Johnny didn't jump the shark, he got eaten by it

Top gear died when they sacked Clarkson, but the final nail in the coffin came from the person who thought Hiring Paddy "No likey, no lighty" and who can forget "Let the hanky see the panky" McGuinness to front the show was a great idea 👍 whoever that person was??? buy that person a pint, pure genius... clueless! but pure genius.

Haven't ITV done a Celebrity Big Brother????

Celebrity Big Brother is back‼️ It aired only a couple of months ago. David Potts won.

You've got that wrong. They did explain how Sherlock faked his death, he explained it at the end of series 3 episode 1, in great detail

Soldier Soldier died when the main cast draws Robson Green and Jerome Flynn left to start their music career - the last two series were so bad

Top gear died on its harris when clarkson got sacked,and the final nail was when paddy know body likey was hired

What happened to Freddie Flintoff sounds eerily similar to what happened with Richard Hammond.

You forgot one EastEnders the day it started

Steven Moffat has said he would write more Sherlock but because the two leads are too busy with other projects thats why its unlikely that it will be back

Jet's injury was during the 1996 Wembley live shows, not during a recording of the series.

You do this video or a variation of it every week 😂

Not Going Out is still going strong without Tim it’s just that now Lee & Lucy are together there’s just not really a prime objective for Lee at the moment beyond not being a shirker

The "exact" moment that kills a show... 2-4 years later, why does the rubbish keep appearing in our feeds? 90% of the content is recycled from the last videos?

10:54 yeah, this had nothing to do with why Dr Who was put on hiatus. Do you have any citation to back this up? lol And no it wasnt cancelled for 15 years.

The kandyman was iconic

Aaaaaah crossroads. That was actually a piss-take, it was highly camp and tongue-in-cheek for the entire reboot, I frigging loved it. The script was actually pretty clever in its self deprecating humour - I even remember the cast at some awards ceremony where the programme had been nominated were sitting in the audience laughing about this very nomination. It was splendid.

The other exact moment that killed Gladiators (ITV) is John Fashanu's departure

I think Ihis video has helped me to pinpoint the exact moment that I stopped watching television.

Also should've been Jade goody And Jodie becoming the doctor that was the momments that killed their shows. Also, bbc sherlock, where Holmes explained how he really survived his death, using a plan called project iccarus.

When is the top 10 of "when watchmojoUK pulled facts out of its behind"

Apparently "Crossroads" learned nothing from "Dallas". 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my God the bill I haven’t seen that show in years and I keep wanting to start from the beginning but I don’t know if I should start from the start of the show all start from like the 90s and 2000s but then I’m not gonna know the new characters in all that I don’t know😂

You mean when they sacked Clarkson and screwed the show lol

what is morning wood

My youngest son and i absolutely loved Dick and Dom and still do it was the bogges scenes was the best . Memories of my son and i was in the quiet doctor's waiting in a room full of people when my son whisper in my ear bogges oh my goodness we both burst out laughing tear's coming from our eye's , my son is 28 years old now and we still laugh at it now .God bless and stay safe. ❤

When did u make this as holly has already jumped ship from this morning…

Sherlock's fourth season wasn't that bad. A fifth season would be nice.

You actually wort doctor who 1963-85 when it was 1989 when the final episode aired before it cane back in 2005

I surprised that u did add red dwarfs 😮

I knew H was Ian. Its the Steps effect with Ian `H` Watkins being the first H. All Ian`s are H.

RIP The Bill 😢

I think love island current season got destroyed when Joey Essex entered

None of them should come back.

Not going out isn't dead ...nor was it killed 😂it was a shame when Tim left...but the show wasn't killed....

i couldnt imagine a simple tshirt got dick and dom off the air. i loved that show,such chaotic fun

Jonnys death was sad

I would mention being human after all the original cast members left it just wasn’t the same . I can’t fault CB decision because she did it on her terms and I respected her for that.

i used to love the bill

Erm Celebrity Big Brother aired earlier this year.

Why do they update the Music to shows, it’s familiar & crucial. It just annoys the audience.

About the bill changing titel song and updating the show made it worse, Exsactly same thing for Londons Burning did, series 12 to 14 Londons burning was not good turned into a soap than more of a drama.

Aphrodite forbid for leaving and becoming an ex xxxx

Well Dick and dom did have a great Finale

The Dick and Dom thing - Jesus that show was always Risque... It reminded me of TISWAS from way back when... And that show pushed a lot of Boundaries! No, it died its death as Dick and Dom got bored... It ran for along time after that incident, but it was slowly dying... It had its time! Again, just like TISWAS... Olly Murs Mistake KILLED X-Factor??? GIVE OVER!!!! No it didn't... Plain and simple as... Jet's Injury - OK! Much as it lasted a lot longer, I will give you this one... Diane Youdale (Jet) was my pin up for my teenage years... I adored her! Hell still do (Though she has come out as LGBTQ+ and is in a happy relationship with a woman... Bless her! Nice to see!) ... And when she left the show after getting injured, I kept watching but was not a regular viewer anymore! She was extremely popular with the audience and her loss hurt teh show... 100%! The Kandyman - Doctor Who: NO NO NO! Much as even us fans malign this episode... THIS DID NOT KILL THE SHOW! That was Michael Grade! HE LITERALLY ADMITS IT... HE KILLED DOCOTR WHO AS HE JUST HATED THE SHOW! Cilla Quits - Yup! This did kill Blind date! It never recovered and the reboot did not last! "Punchgate" - I dont think it was this that killed Big Brother - It was already failing in ratings long before... I did however kill Roxanne Pallets career! As far as I am aware, she has had no major roles since then! Everybody Leaves ... Hmmm! Yeah, NO! What killed Spitting Image was in their own words Margret Thatcher's resignation... They really did try but she was the icon! The Writers have even joked since when John Major was revealed to have had an affair with Health Minister Edwina Currie "If he had only told the world about that sooner, We may still have been on air! He was just to grey and boring to make fun of... " How did Sherlock Survive? - OH DEAR GOD DON'T REMIND ME!!! I CANNOT disagree with this one... When this one hit, It was obvious teh show was going off the rails, but what actually killed it was "DID YOU MISS ME?" - COME ON WATCHMOJO ADMIT IT... Moriarty's promised return that never was... That KILLED the show... They can NEVER hope to bring it back after that! Though How did Sherlock Survive? takes a firm second place!

Can't watch the last season of Killing Eve it is such shite

First off, you mislabelled when Doctor Who aired; the classic series ended in 1989, not 1985 (when the show was also put on hiatus during Colin Baker's time). And second, the show wasn't put on hiatus after Sylvestor McCoy's time (when the Kandyman and his only appearance The Happiness Patrol was) for 15 years but 16 (when it came back in 2005). For me and several others, Doctor Who was killed when the Doctor was revealed to be the Timeless Child and then further when Ncuti Gatwa took on the role. I should also like to add Britain's Got Talent as it hasn't been the same since David Walliams left and was replaced by Bruno Tonioli who was a poor choice.

5:36 THIS MOMENT COMPLETED RUINED BOTH GMB AND ITV THE BOTH HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE.

What?????

6:24 THE SHOW IS NOW TRASH

I thought American telly was lame and British telly was cool. British telly is even worse than American tv if that's possible

I think Dr. Who should be cancelled and left on a shelf for a decade before being revived. It's lost its touch, and I hear the cast and writers are mocking the very fanbase that is keeping it alive.

I think my family should come back 😂

I don't get how Doctor Who was ended by the 'Kandyman' when there were people at the BBC since before the 6th Doctor who wanted the series canned. The show had better ratings than the current series when they cancelled it.

Omg didn’t u know celeb big brother was back last year 2023… very poor research and incorrect information and content - disappointing

Erm WTF Celebrity Big Brother was on the other month u crank!

You're so far off with Line Of Duty 🤦 H is more than 1 person

Two pints was an amazing show.
