BEHIND THE WORDS:

JUMP THE SHARK

Waste, utter waste or in our slang waste-o-waste.These are the reserved words for commenting on some sort of serials.When everyone almost believed that some serial is facing a disastrous failure, they ae most likely to see some last desperate attempts to keep them stuck with the serial.Jump the shark is a phrase for describing those attempts.

When  a serial called “HAPPY DAYS” faced loss of viewers, one of the character has got to water-ski and jump over a shark as a way to express his bravery.(How lucky our film heroes are.Raising t voice or some punch dialog would mean bravery here.) After this ‘jump the shark’ attempt, the serial made another seven years.
