[VaporTrailx1]

JumpTheShark.com got annexed and torn to shit by TVGuide.com

[ZeldaQueen]

What was it about? I never heard of it before.

ZQ- Jump the shark was a website that was basically a database of shows and when they started becoming tiresome. The reference is from the Happy Days episode in which The Fonz did a waterski-jump over a shark (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDthMGtZKa4). The Fonz can always do anything = tiresome.
When a show does that, they call it Jumping the Shark.

That's what I thought?

[ZeldaQueen]

Oh, okay!

I knew what the phrase "Jump the Shark" meant, but I wasn't sure what would be on a website named that. Thanks!

[90's Child]

As TV Tropes put it, Jump The Shark.com has jumped the shark.

Is it just me or did this thread just go Sam downhill really fast.

They have a new one of those out. With dinosaurs.

[Mockery]

Do they? A motorcycle dinosaur jump? I have to see this!

[Kitsa]

Now, when pressed, I'm not 100% sure on the motorcycle part. I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I was turning off the TV.
