1. Where does that phrase originate from anyway?


Can someone explain that to me?

2. Happy Days...
The episode wherein Fonzie jumped over a pen with a shark in it, on water skis.. supposedly, people point to that episode as the beginning of the end of the show.

3. You know what I think?
I think asking if "jump the shark" has jumped the shark has TOTALLY jumped the shark!

5. Check out the official website -
www.jumptheshark.com

Very funny write-ups by fans about the suckiness of present and past shows.
