True or False- House has Jumped the Shark*
And, if he has Jumped the Shark*, what event was it? If not, what do you think would qualify as the show having Jumped the Shark*? Extra credit if you visualize and describe a complete scene in which the show would, in your mind, Jump the Shark.
If you are not a TV person and/or never have liked the TV show House, please kindly ignore with my apologies for wasting your time.
*Quoted definition from Wikipedia-
"Jumping the shark is a metaphor that was originally used to denote the tipping point at which a TV series is deemed to have passed its peak, or has introduced plot twists that are illogical in terms of everything that has preceded them. Once a show has "jumped the shark", fans sense a noticeable decline in quality or feel the show has undergone too many changes to retain its original charm. The term has also evolved to describe other areas of pop culture, including movie series, music, acting celebrities, or authors for whom a drastic change was seen as the beginning of the end. These changes are often attempts to attract their fans' waning attention with over-the-top statements or increasingly overt appeals to sex or violence. Some have broadened its use to simply describe any decline in appeal for the subject in question, without requiring a significant "jump the shark" moment as justification."
