I like the first few seasons of 24. They jumped the shark once or twice during the 5 season span. However, recently they have done it about every episode. Almost to the point of ridiculous. Why have they set 24 towards ruin?

First, for anyone not familiar with the term "jump the shark", it is a term to describe a moment when something that was once great/believable has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity.
Origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonzie jumped a shark on water skis. Thus was labeled the lowest point of the show.
Secondly, 24 has kinda been over the top some.
I wonder if it's the season that Jack gets killed and his son replaces him.

Ratings. People want to see extreme television. I think next season, Jack Bauer will be saving Earth from impending doom from a rouge comet. (Just after he beats the crap out of Satan)
