The comments that various people posted to "Has TWC Jumped the Shark" are classic!

By the way, what does it mean to "jump the sharlk"?

Jumping the shark.....

"It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television programhas reached it's peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it jumping the shark."

This should explain it :)


Definitions of Jump the shark on the Web:

Jumping the shark is a metaphor used by television critics since the 1990s. The phrase, popularized by Jon Hein on his web site http://www.jumptheshark.com, is used to describe the moment when a television show or similar episodic media is in retrospect judged to have passed its "peak" and shows a noticeable decline in quality. Hein also uses the "jumping the shark" concept to describe other areas of pop culture, such as music and celebrities, for whom a drastic change was the beginning of the end.


Jump The Shark Definition
Date Posted: 01/11/2005
Message: It's not too long to explain. Years ago, there was a Happy Days episode where Fonzie was going to water ski and jump over a shark. That was considered one of the worst episode of the show and deemed by many as the point when Happy Days went in the crapper. The term "Jump The Shark" has since come to mean the beginning of the end of a good show.

The term is based on when Fonzie water-ski-jumped over a shark on Happy Days, thus defining the absolute crappiness the show had evolved into.

The Patron Saint of Jumping the Shark is Ted McGinley, a surefire show-killer :)
