Jumping the Shark It seems appropriate in this week of series finales of shows which have long since lost their cultural relevancy, that I link to a site dedicated to jumping the shark. For the uninitiated, the expression refers to Fonzie literally jumping over a shark on Happy Days, a moment that will live in television infamy forever. Jumptheshark.com lists all of the "very special" moments when our favorite shows went bad, including two shows which were once favorites of mine, the X-Files and Ally McBeal, both of which should have made a graceful exit at least a season ago, but instead lingered painfully on, until absolutely no one was watching. Matt Groening, are you listening?
