A reference to when Happy Days was winding down and out of intelligent writing, they came up with a lame episode in which Fonzie jumps a tank with a shark in it on his motorcycle. It has defined the turning point for just about every show since that loses its writers, creativity or whatever and starts to whither on the vine as it were.Purplehood wrote:"Jumped the shark"????LarryH wrote:I'm with you on both shows, until The Unit began involving the wives in an operation (that jumped the shark for me).Ol Zeke wrote:Of course, unlike the rest of the viewing public, I liked Jericho and The Unit.
I heard an interview one time with Henry Winkler (Fonzie) addressing this very issue, he pointed out that Happy Days ran another eight seasons after that episode.
