For those who are not familiar with this expression -- to 'jump the shark' is defined as "reach a point at which far-fetched events are included merely for the sake of novelty, indicative of a decline in quality." As per Wikipedia, it is "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." Its origin is from the episode of Happy Days, after the program had become a sad shell of itself, in which Fonzie (Arthur Fonzerelli) jumped a shark on water skis in an attempt to garner interest to a program that had exhausted all of its previous entertainment value.
Well played, Outlier.
