Hyde: Not only is that the worst idea I've ever heard, it was the worst moment in television history.
Fez: Yeah, you're right; I stopped watching after that episode.
Fez and Hyde are discussing the season 5 episode of Happy Days in which Fonzie jumps a caged shark. The episode is widely agreed to be one of the low moments in television history, and also the point where Happy Days began to go downhill. The term "Jump The Shark" has come to signify that: when a program loses its way and begins doing crazy stunts simply to get ratings. There is a website dedicated to identifying these moments: jumptheshark.com.
