Well, you're wrong. It was Happy Days. Whenever says something that a thing has jumped the shark they're referencing about Happy Days.

Wow so some guy became a millionaire based on "coining" a phrase which already existed and used his money to constantly edit Wikipedia to reflect his version of history, what's new?

Batman fans know the truth.

>>63581607
Yes anon, i'm sure the guy who edits the wiki article on jumping the shark is just rolling in cash from it.
>>
>>63581697
No, the guy who edits the wiki article is a paid flunky probably hired from elance or mechanical turk for five cents per edit/revert, are you slow

The TV Series was ALWAYS like this, and the self-consciously edgy films make everyone forget. This was what everyone thought Batman was for decades. That was the point of Batman.

This isn't anywhere near the lowest point of Batman '66, so it wasn't originated from that
>>
>>63584048
a "shark jump" isn't a term for a show's lowest point. Its a point where something so "great" happens that requires the show's entire format changes.

Before the shark jump happy days was basically just friends. A bunch of characters given equal time and doing stuff, and fonzie was just one more side character. After all the characters that weren't played by henry winkler got less and less screen time until eventually it was just the fonzie show, and eventually people lost interest in that, and the show couldn't go back, and was over.

tl;dr, "jumping the shark" is the term for a show's peak that can never be topped and results in decline.

>>63584216
reminds me of batman

>people actually think Jumping the Shark refers to Batman

>>63584216
Sure

>>63584216
>Jumping the shark is an idiom popularized by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irretrievably from its original formula.
