Dear TV Lovers,

Do you remember the OTHER dad from "My Two Dads"? NOT Paul Reiser.

Wow, that's sad.

Well, if you grew up sucking on the warm, glowing teet of TV (like I did), you should check out Jump The Shark. The term "jumping the shark" is a reference to the episode of HAPPY DAYS when The Fonze jumps over a tank filled with sharks on his motorcycle.

"Jumping the Shark" is used to indicate the point in a long-running TV series when some big stunt is used to boost interest because the show's writers are completely bereft of ideas... The website is very simple and text-heavy, but the real fun is in looking up old obscure shows that you remember and reading the comments...
