Happy Days: Fonzie Jumps The Shark
On September 20, 1977, Arthur Fonzarelli put his iconic black leather jacket on over swim-trunks, went water skiing, jumped a shark, and effectively killed "Happy Days."

Oh, yeah, and he helped inspire the expression "jumping the shark" -- which became a metaphor for any moment something betrays its original identity or premise.

No! Jumped the shark! The show had no merit after that point! Hence the "jump the shark" was made!

Am I talking to myself?
