Jump the Shark: Border Wars

The show I chose for Jump the Shark is Border Wars on National Geographic. The reason I chose this tv show for Jump the Shark, is because once you watch one episode you know what all the other shows are going to be about. Most of the tv episodes out, are all the same, or they take place in the same areas. If the show were to have different areas of the border, it would be alot more entertaining.
When the show first came out I was addicted to it because all the episodes were new to me at the time. The show was also entertaining before the Jump the Shark moment because the borders covered in the show were amusing, and the information offered by the CBP officers was all new.
The reason the show went downhill after that was because the audiences knew what was going to happen. The show also repeated information, and cases that had been covered before in past episodes. The audiences need to know new information, and cases that appeal to the viewers attention. Personally I believe Jump the Shark moments ruin quality tv shows.
