On water skis, in a scene from the episode 'Hollywood, Part 3', after jumping over a sharkJumping the shark is an idiom used to describe a moment when something that was once popular but has grown less so makes an attempt at publicity which only serves to highlight its irrelevance. This is especially applicable to or other entertainment outlets.The 'jumping the shark' is pejorative, most commonly used in reference to unsuccessful gimmicks for promoting something. It is similar to 'past its peak', but it more specifically suggests an unwillingness to acknowledge the fact. Originally, the phrase was used to describe an episode of a with a gimmick or unlikely occurrence desperately attempting to keep viewers' interest. Moments labeled as 'jumping the shark' are considered indications that writers have exhausted their focus, that the show has strayed irretrievably from an older and better formula, or that the series as a whole is declining in quality.The phrase derives from a scene in a Season 5 episode of the 1970s in which the character jumps over a shark while on water-skis. This strayed absurdly outside the original of the sitcom.The usage of 'jump the shark' has subsequently broadened beyond television, indicating the moment when a brand, design, franchise, or creative effort's evolution declines, or when it changes notably in style into something unwelcome.

Contents.History The phrase jump the shark is based on a scene in the fifth episode of the 1970s American TV series titled ', written by Fred Fox, Jr., which aired on September 20, 1977. In the episode, the central characters visit Los Angeles, where a water-skiing answers a challenge to his bravery by wearing swim trunks and his trademark leather jacket, and jumping over a confined shark. The stunt was created as a way to showcase Winkler's real-life skills.For a show that in its early seasons depicted universally relatable adolescent and family experiences against a backdrop of 1950s nostalgia, this incident marked a tonal change. The lionization of an increasingly superhuman Fonzie, who was initially a supporting character in the series, became the focus of Happy Days. The series continued for seven years after Fonzie's shark-jumping stunt, with a number of changes in cast and situations.On 's podcast, talked about the first time the phrase was used, by Happy Days co-star: 'Donny's reading it and he kinda looks down, then says 'what do you think of the script?'

And I shrugged and replied 'people like the show, it's hard to argue with being number one' and he looked up and said, 'he's jumping a shark now?' That was the first time I saw that phrase bracketed, before it was even done, you've got to give props to Donny Most.' The phrase 'jumping the shark' was coined in 1985 by 's roommate at the University of Michigan, Sean Connolly, when they were talking about favorite television shows that had gone downhill, and the two began identifying other shows in which a similar 'jump the shark' moment had occurred. Hein described the term as 'A defining moment when you know from now on it's all downhill it will never be the same.' In 1997, Hein created a website to publish his current list of approximately 200 television shows and his opinions of the moments each 'jumped the shark'; the site became popular and grew with additional user-contributed examples. Hein subsequently wrote two 'Jump The Shark' books and later became a regular on around the time he sold his website to (owners of ).In a 2010 article, former Happy Days writer Fred Fox, Jr., who wrote the episode that later spawned the phrase, said, 'Was the shark jump episode of Happy Days deserving of its fate? No, it wasn't.

All successful shows eventually start to decline, but this was not Happy Days ' time.' Fox also points not only to the success of that episode ('a huge hit' with over 30 million viewers), but also to the continued popularity of the series.Fonzie was not the first fictional character to encounter a shark on water skis. In the 1922 novel, Bertie Wooster's cousin Angela does so while on the French Riviera.

In March 2011, in a review titled 'What Part of 'Mini' Did You Not Grasp, BMW?' Neil said the bigger car abandoned the company's design and that 'with the Countryman, tiny sharks have been jumped'.Similar to the example above, automotive blog used the expression in a 2010 retrospective piece to describe the, a the division sold in the 1980s that ended up being a commercial failure which; 'Yes, as if there was ever any doubt, GM truly jumped the shark with the Cimarron, and it led the way for what was GM's most disastrous decade ever, the eighties.
