“jumping the shark”这个词是电台主持人乔恩·海因 (Jon Hein) 在 1985 年创造的。他在观看 1977 年 9 月 20 日播出的电视节目《欢乐时光》第五季的一集后使用了这个词。

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.

在这一集中，团队访问了洛杉矶，在那里，方齐（亨利·温克勒饰）穿着泳裤和他标志性的皮夹克，跳过了一条鲨鱼，展示了他的勇气。

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.

这一特技是如此荒谬，以至于标志着该剧质量的明显转折。这表明编剧们已经没有好主意了，只能诉诸越来越奇怪的情况来保持观众的兴趣。

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·霍华德（在剧中扮演里奇·坎宁安）后来回忆道：“我记得唐尼·莫斯特（拉尔夫·马尔夫饰）和我坐在那儿看剧本。唐尼真的很难过。他说，‘哦，伙计，看看我们的节目已经变成什么样子了。这一点都不好笑，而且你知道方兹正在跳过一条鲨鱼。”
