Jump the Shark

Front Cover
6 Reviews
Plume, Aug 19, 2003 - Humor - 128 pages
A new TV-only edition with even more jump the shark moments from your favorite shows

Happy Days infamously jumped the shark when Fonzie literally jumped a shark on water skis. I Love Lucy jumped the shark when Lucy and Ricky moved to the suburbs. The Brady Bunch jumped the shark when Cousin Oliver moved in.

You know when you see it. It's the moment on your favorite TV show when a new character is introduced, the romantic leads share their passionate embrace, or the whole gang takes a trip to Tahiti. In that moment you know your favorite show has lost its magic, has begun the long, painful slide to the TV graveyard-the show has jumped the shark. Completely revised and updated, these shark-infested pages will leave you in stitches and wondering where the insidious fin will pop up next.
