“Jumping the Shark” is now a colloquialism. “Boning the Fish” just sounds stupid.

The names aside, it still nice for someone to step into the breech and provide tv fans with what Jump The Shark used to when it existed.

“Boning the Fish” just sounds stupid.No kidding. Either they mean "filleting," or it's something vulgar that I don't want to know about. And either way, it completely lacks the context that made "jump the shark" a comprehensible, if overused, image.

“Boning the Fish” just sounds stupid. I agree. At least "Jump The Shark" was based on something that made sense - it referred to the "Happy Days" episode in which Fonzie, based on a dare, strapped on a pair of water skis and jumped over a shark. The consensus was that the quality of the show really started going down hill from that point on.
