here in Tinsel Town, "jumping the shark" means going bad. Supposedly,
the phrase came about because in the show "Happy Days" (the one with
the Fonz), one of the characters was water-skiing and literally jumped
the shark. From then on, the show was (allegedly) not worth watching
and it was soon canceled.
