*Jumping the shark is an idiom used to describe a moment when something that was once widely popular, but has since grown less popular, makes a misguided attempt at generating publicity that instead only serves to highlight its irrelevance. I am not bragging with this reference. FYI : I didn't know about that expression, Josh did.
