Ted McGinley, AKA the TV series grim reaper (if he shows up in a series it's almost definitely getting cancelled).
Patron saint of jumping the shark.
Who is Ted C Mcginely and what has he been in? Ted M Mcginely was the Marcy’s second husband in married with children and lasted longer than the first husband (4v6).
Happy Days, The Love Boat, and Dynasty were some of the shows he joined that got him the title. Also the Revenge of the Nerds movies. He was in the first one, then came back for the shark jumping in 3 and 4.
Interestingly, McGinley isn't always the reason for the shark jump. Sometimes he's fine, like you pointed out with Married With Children. He just gas a knack for joining series later in their production, as they're turning to shit.
Edit: I reread your post, now I see you're talking about the middle initial. Previous poster probably mixed up the name a bit with John C. McGinley of Scrubs and Office Space. Still leaving this here.
Conversely, he plays my favorite character on Shrinking, but I guess it helps that he's in it from the very beginning
