    Happy Days when they had The Fonz water ski jump over a shark.

    Yep, I’m old, and yes that is where the term “Jump the shark” is from.

      I remember seeing an interview with Tom Bosley, the actor who played Mr. Cunningham, where he points out that there were more episodes of Happy Days after jumping the shark than before, so it was hardly the death knell for the show.
