Ha!

New word, well new phrase really. Okay, new to me. I could keep going on this path but will stop now. What do you think, I like it:

"Jumping the Shark" - refers to a tv show whose plot has veered off course, in what seems to me, a desperate attempt to recall previously good ratings. The Wikipedia article refers to a Happy Days episode where the Fonz is water skiing in a leather jacket and swim shorts and jumps over a shark.

So the article talks about how this phrase has been used to mean something that has peaked and is in decline now.

Other shows that have Jumped the Shark?

24
Lost
Survivor

Hmmm, I am sure there are many more. Thoughts?
