Has Offspring jumped the shark?

I needed to wait a day before making the claim, because I was in a pretty bad mood last night, but I do believe Offspring has jumped the shark.
The neurotic Nina and her dysfunctional crew have been faves since the word go, but this week, I think the writers overdid it.
Nina seemed to totally unravel, but not in the way we know and love. And the hyper-anxious Gary McDonald just gave me the jitters.
Billie was just too bumbling, Mick just too maudlin, and I'm over the sulking Darcy and what's her name. Jimmy was just too stupid, Tara just too much of a bitch, and that other midwife giving the antenatal lecture just plain boring in her boredom.
And I almost forgot the pathetic Patrick. Lordy, being back the gorgeous Havel.
I don't even know if I can give it one more episode.
I think if I hear Nina's phone again (although it did drown at the Chinese restaurant) I will hurl myself off the deck.
Phew. And goodnight.
