I have to add that the actual term JUMPING THE SHARK came from an episode of Happy Days when Fonzie and the Cunninghams were visiting Hawaii. The scene to which the immortal “JUMPING THE SHARK” refers to was the one where Fonzie actually “JUMPED OVER A SHARK WHILE WATER SKIING. That was even too much for the most diehard Happy Days Fans apparently! That was the moment the once popular show started falling in the ratings.
