There's a point in every show's run where it loses popularity and the production team behind it comes up with melodramatic plot lines to increase interest. The more extravagant the plot line, the more unbelievable it is--thus creating the opposite effect the production team was after in the first place. There's probably some scientific name for it...that's right: jumped the shark.
I wasn't the most avid fan of LG15, but from my point of view, the show reached its shark-jumping point when a teenage vlogger found herself mixed up in some cult society, relying on real-life help from her fans. One of the show's creators, Glenn Rubenstein, recognized the problems with LG15's straying plot line, and ended up leaving the team for undisclosed reasons. Rubenstein in fact went on to create his own production, featuring none other than a teenage vlogger that gets caught up in some mysterious, murderous plot of some sort.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]I just can't keep up with the shows these kids watch these days, but according to NewTeeVee, Rubenstein's show, called REDEARTH88, has finally picked up steam. Launching in July of last year, right around the time LG15 found itself at the height of its popularity (and shark-jumping, in my opinion), episode 12 (of 25) of REDEARTH88 has passed the 100k view mark on YouTube not too long ago.
