I don't believe the show ever jumped the shark. I think the ending sucked - but it really just seemed that they didn't know the show was ending, either, so they had to wrap up all the twists in very few episodes. I was super bummed that they didn't get picked up again...and even more bummed that they chose 7th Heaven to air for yet another wretched year after dropping a great unique show like Everwood. 7th Heaven is a show that jumped YEARS ago and should've never made it as long as it did.
It jumped, not when Madison became pregnant, but when she and the Doctor conspired to keep it from Ephraim.

Silly, soap-operaish storyline.....
Jumped when Ephraim loved Amy. So, basically, ever.
When I realized Delia looked just like the girl from 7th Heaven
Everwood was a great show. The characters were believable as real people.(Except for Scott Wolfe). I can't believe this show was canceled and the CW kept 7th Heaven after the big "countdown to goodbye". I believe the CW knew that 7th Heaven would only last one more year. 7th Heaven should have stayed gone and Everwood should have been renewed in its place, or at least it could have had the 9:00pm timeslot of the Americas Next Top Model rerun show, or even boot ANTM period.
My theory is that this show sucked! Big Time!
My theory is that Madison got pregnant by someone else.......She came to Doc Brown like a month after Emphram broke up...Not sure, but I think you know your late in less then a month.....Madison got jealous and wanted to ruin Emphram and Amy's relationship, which she almost did....

Anyways this show never jumped. It was a crying shame that the stupid cw network did not pick it up.
Madison getting pregnant was the worst idea this show could have ever had. Dating Ephram was idiotic in the first place, but then to have her get pregnant? And then hide it from him? Crazy!
Started watching "Everwood" during the fourth season. So disappointed when it was not renewed. Now watching in reruns and can't wait for the next episode even though I know the final outcome of the show. BRILLIANT.
This show was one of the best of its genre. It was real from the beginning. The connection between Andy and Ephram was one of the best displays of an estranged father and son that I've ever witnessed. But for me the telling point was my kids....both in their mid teens when Everwood launched. They loved it too because it showed a parent child relationship in a real light. It even mirrored their own lives in many ways and the problems that children like Ephram and Delia have in life. It even realistically showed life and death within the first two seasons. Fortunately, or not Everwood never came close to jumping the shark. However, it showed what poor insight into humanity is had by TV execs who favor soapy, shallow, characterless shows (One Tree Hill) over style and substance. Boo to them and Hooray to the Everwood crowd. May their collective careers not have hit its zenith with Everwood.
This show was a gem, I have mixed feelings about it's departure. On one hand I will never be able to find another show like it and on the other, I will never have to suffer through watching seasons of it that shouldn't air. The show never jumped period. It followed a couple of plot lines all the way through to the end and didn't drag anything along too much, Scott Wolf's character was a believable way to keep Andy and Nina apart as was Ephraim's relationship with Madison and the ensuring fallout. Although a little much did happen in the final episode, it was the only way to wrap it all up and give fans closure. Very solidly written and acted show, sad to see it go but also glad that I won't be griping about it like many people are about 7th Heaven. I wish the creator, writers and the principal cast the best of luck, they all have the talent to be very successful, and I will never respect Treat Williams again if he goes in for another rendition of the substitute.
Okay, I was happy when Edna stayed with her son's family after Irv died, when Delia got her horse after her bat mitvah, when Nina accepted Andy's proposal, when the Abbotts got that baby left on their doorstep, and when Hannah decided to go to the same college Amy and Bright are going to. But I couldn't accept the idea that after Amy decided that Ephram was the one for her and after deciding to put a ferris wheel in front of Ephram's apartment (with her mother's help) and Ephram sees it and Amy reminds him it was the first time they kissed and Ephram does remember and he and Amy kiss automatically thereby affirming his love for her. This was too soon for me especially since his previous scene had him hanging up on Stephanie who he really seemed to be into. But then had Everwood been renewed for another season, it would have been Madison he would have talked into on the phone and we would have seen Sarah Lancaseter on the other line (by the way, how much of her would we have seen next season after her ABC show had already been picked up?). Also by the way, whose stupid idea was it to constantly run promos of the CW during EW's finale, rubbing it in our faces that they cancelled this wonderful program after four glorious seasons!
I wish we'd seen more closure on Hannah and Bright, but this show made it to the end with most of its dignity intact.
A lot of people are saddened over 'Everwood's cancellation, and the injustice of it while dreck like 'One Tree Hill' and (Why God, why!?) '7th Heaven' were renewed for CW's increasingly groan-inducing debut season. But I'm not. After watching the finale I'm glad the show is going off the air now, because I can truly say it Never Jumped. This was a wonderful little show. The acting, the writing and most of all the wonderfully drawn characters were some of the best you'd fine on TV. We got several great seasons and a finale that allowed the show to go out with grace. 'Everwood' got exactly the ending it deserved, in spite of the WB and CW's treatment of it.
With Everwood and Northern Exposure now both gone All of TELEVISION has finally "Jumped Off our TV". Long ago we began to make our own choices by taping what we wanted to watch in order to skip commercials and the plugs. Okay. So the "bottom liners' win. Our demograpic profile puts us in the very group they are trying to win. We just saved a bundle. Sorry but well written books and our imaginations will now suffice. Bottom line = books cost less than any television hook-ups. AND, no commercial bombardment. TV gurus may we call it: "WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES" ? Take a look at the trees ( NX, Everwood and the likes ) not the forest.
