On an episode of Happy Days, the gang went to California and Fonzie entered some dumb contest involving water skiing a ramp over shark infested waters. The show went downhill after that and never recovered. When a show "jumps the shark" is when it starts an irreversible decline in quality.

Ok, I understand the term jumping the shark, but that refers to the show. From the way the comment was worded, it looked like that I was jumping the shark.

Ex,

The only shark "jumping" that we can think of you doing involves open water and a great white succuming to knife wounds.

So the moral of this story is, try hard from now on.
Don't screw up or the feds will shut us down.
Something like that.
