When a media item has gone too far from its premise... run out of ideas and extended to the point of absurdity such that it is no longer considered worth watching

I had to look it up

Quote :
"jumped the shark
Refers to a 1970's TV sitcom. It had a main character known for being the Coolest guy on TV (The Fonze). As the series entered one of its last seasons, the writers had this oh-so-cool guy waterskiing in his trademark leather jacket, to jump a shark. It was truely the moment when the series went downhill from there and was soon mercifully cancelled.
Rober Jordans book series 'The Wheel of Time' jumped the shark in book four and has gotten worse ever since.

So much confusion for it having been defined twice already in this thread... and the fonz picture should have at least been a huge clue.

while jumping the shark may be a legitimate term, it is also overused like crazy by people who only kind-of-understand what it means.

See ^^ for an example of this.


Something really hasn't jumped the shark at all until it has at least come close to something as bad/absurd/away-from-the-premise as the ACTUAL Happy Days incident... that a sitcom about "average" life in the 50s would end up with one of the main characters water-ski jumping over a shark to show how cool he is.
