"Jumping the shark" is a term derived from the later seasons of Happy Days. There was a short series of episodes where they went to Hollywood. During one episode Fonzie sets up some hoaky stunt to do a waterski jump over a small shark tank. It's generally believed that those episodes were the signal that Happy Days had run it's course and the series was through. Things just went downhill from there.

So "jumping the shark" is a term that means an entity has outlived it's usefulness. That it's time has come. On TV, that's usually about the time a TV show starts bringing in new characters as the original ones leave. Like on The Brady Bunch when cousin Oliver moved in.

Interesting,I had never heard that before. Thanks for explaining Jeff :thumbup:

I love my Nissan, but I'm only really biased against certain vehicles, like Mustangs and riced out Hondas. Believe it or not my 350z can whip on the older gt mustangs (5.0 foxbody and 4.6 from the 90's) without breaking a sweat. I also love most modern and classic muscle cars.
Dream car? 2012 Nissan gtr premium, 2.8 second 0-60 time.:whhooo:

Speaking of jumping the shark, what ever happened to the Corvette Mako?
I guess they'll be calling the new 'Vette a Nurse Shark.

 

[hamz9561]

No, Rolex, it'll be called the Lemon Shark.....

 

[2revo1maxx]

Tuner shark, because if it comes with a turbo everyone and their brother is going to sqeeze another 150 horse out of it.
I'm kind of interested to what happens, and like the article said it will still have the pushrod bb available.

No, Rolex, it'll be called the Lemon Shark.....

I'll stick with my 5.0

 

[hamz9561]

Loved my Heritage Coupe with a 5.0.
