It also featured Louise Jameson AKA Leela from Doctor Who.

I'd watch the heck out of that 😁🐢
It's fun. Lasted about 40-50 episodes. Somehow got a DVD release.

A bit of a ripoff of Power Rangers and other similar programs from the US/Japan. Just without the charm.

I have the series on DVD.

... I had no idea it lasted that long.  I thought it was just one of those shows that they made a dozen or so episodes of and then tried to pretend it didn't exist.
Considering they basically fight the same monster seemingly every other episode, nobody needs to watch more than 12 episodes to carry on.

It has a "so bad it's good" kinda vibe. I liked it well enough to get the DVD.

Prey (1998)

For me, the "jump the shark episode" was about an evil kid, who kept looking at the camera & grinning to remind the audience that he was evil....

ABC's The River (2012)
Every episode of this reeked of jump the shark...

Clerks: the Animated Series.

2 episodes aired on ABC. Was cancelled. The episodes plus the remaining 6-8 episodes were released on DVD.

Probably would've lasted if it aired on Fox, MTV or Comedy Central.
