no but Fonzie jumping a shark is. Looking at his real track record, Ted actually does not kill shows -- nm - zork Mar 11, 10:24 6
- I think the longevity of Married w/Children actually broke McGinley of that curse. - Diva Mar 11, 10:29 2
  - There was a lot of worry when he had a guest role on The West Wing though -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 10:31
  - Yes he was. As Jefferson D'Arcy. He was so much better than the guy playing Ranger Steve. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:30
- Unfortunately, jumptheshark.com is no longer active, but casting Ted McGinley was one of the ways a show could jump the shark - Roger More Mar 11, 10:27
- This is true. You only get Ted after your show is on life support -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:25 1
  - Married w/ Children did one helluva job lasting another 7 seasons then. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:30
