    Ah crap, there was supposed to be a poll. Now there's just discussion without scientifically accurate data collection. :drunkfriends:

    Happy Days - very late in the series they had Fonz jumping his motorcycle over a tank with a shark in it.

    All for ratings, of course, but nothing could save the show by then.

    Happy Days, Fonzie jumps a shark on his bike citing the end of anything else Happy Days had to offer.

    Chris posted a shark picture in the latest apology thread. A shark with an Ayn Rand looking guy humping it.

    It's become a colloquialism, here, for a TV show whose ratings have gone bad.

    Happy Days, where there was a literal shark jumping.

    As for Storm, I think my opinion on that is the worst kept secret since the White House started outing undercover agents.

    I'm almost certain Storm isn't Fonzie.

    Although as I understand it, there are certain height similarities... :unsure:

    For me he has. I've seen his photo and he looks like your typical birkenstock wearing upper west sider.
    Either that, or he was really in the NAVY.

    I think WF as a whole as jumped the shark. :bergman:

    On an unrelated note, I think this is the first I can remember Gul having an avatar without any form of beer in it. :soma:

    Storm didn't jump the shark, he shot it.
