Hey essex boy thought I'd try and explain 'jumping the shark'

When the show 'happy days' was at the hight of it's popularity the writers felt invincible, and their plots started to get more and more ridiculous, this culminated in a show where the 'Fonz' jumped a tank filled with sharks. The show headed downwards after this and the term 'jumped the shark' was born.

Has google gone to far, don't know but they will do one day.
