"jumps the shark" is a reference to a "Happy Days" episode in which "The 
Fonz" on his motorbike jumps a pool containing a shark.

Back in the 50's/60's as 'represented' in the show) weird things were 
being done on motorbikes .... like "Evil" Knievel jumping Canyons, 
chains of Cara/Buses, etc.

Why is such a "big" thing made about 'jumps the shark'??
