「jumping the shark」這個詞是電台主持人喬恩·海因(Jon Hein) 在1985 年創造的。後使用了這個詞。

In the episode, the team visit Los Angeles, where Fonzie (played by Henry Winkler) demonstrates his courage by literally jumping over a shark while wearing swimming trunks and his trademark leather jacket.

在這一集中，團隊訪問了洛杉磯，在那裡，方齊（亨利·溫克勒飾）穿著泳褲和他標誌性的皮夾克，跳過了一條鯊魚，展示了他的勇氣。

This stunt was so ridiculous that it marked a clear turning point in the show's quality. It indicated that the writers were running out of good ideas and resorting to increasingly bizarre situations in order to keep viewers interested.

這一特技是如此荒謬，以至於標誌著該劇品質的明顯轉折。這顯示編劇們已經沒有好主意了，只能訴諸越來越奇怪的情況來保持觀眾的興趣。

Ron Howard (who played Richie Cunningham in the show) later recalled: 'I remember Donny Most (Ralph Malph) and I sitting there, looking at the script. Donny was really upset. He said, 'Oh, man, look at what our show has kind of devolved into. It's not even very funny, and you know Fonz is jumping over a shark.''

朗霍華（在劇中扮演里奇坎寧安）後來回憶道：「我記得唐尼莫斯特（拉爾夫馬爾夫飾）和我坐在那裡看劇本。唐尼真的很難過。他說，『哦，夥計，看看我們的節目已經變成什麼樣子了。這一點都不好笑，而且你知道方茲正在跳過一條鯊魚。
