- Is a storyline you don't want to see really "jumping the shark," though? Doesn't it have to be something silly or extreme? -- nm - mara Jul 25, 15:34
- and by Sally he would actually mean Betty ... or "Bets" as she's affectionately called by her husdband. Sally would be ... "spoilers" - JenBro Jul 25, 15:00
It's changing the premise drastically. But charges of JTS need to be based on results. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 14:43 15
- word. It is usually associated with a downhill slide, not merely a change of that sort. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:51 14
  - Fine, I'm guilty of committing a semantic sin. -- nm - nubby Jul 25, 14:52 13
    - *gasp*! the eighth deadly sin! (kidding. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:52 12
      - Actually, I take it back. - nubby Jul 25, 14:54 11

        I never watched Happy Days, but did anything about the show fundamentally change after the Fonz's jump? -- nm - nubby Jul 25, 14:57 9
        
        yes. It became a series about gimmcky episodes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:07
        
        It's about when Chachi showed up, so yeah, a pretty good decline in quality. -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 6
        
        (basically, Chachi added to the cast, Richie gets a serious girlfriend, Al replaces Pat Morita as diner owner) -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 5
        
        Mork. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:10 3
        
        oh, right. Right. - Callisto Jul 25, 15:12 2
        
        Oh sure. But "Kids from the 50s meet a free-associating alien in rainbow suspenders" is out there. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:13 1
        
        It is. (Note: I had rainbow suspenders with the pointy finger just like Mork's.) - Callisto Jul 25, 15:18
        
        (and then Weezer shows up and refuses to try the fish.) -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 15:10
        
        heh, I have no idea :) I didn't watch it. - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:58
