The original jumping the shark! The suspense is so palpable yet so funny.
The life preserver over the leather jacket kills me.
Exactly, the Fonz would never wear a life preserver haha.
So is this where that term actually originated from? "Jumping the shark" or was that already a TV term and they were just making an obvious joke?
I had never heard of this episode haha.

^this was the origin.
After looking at that frame of the video for a minute I thought that the blond next to Ralph looked very familiar. I was a huge Battlestar Galactica fan and after a little trip to IMDB, it appears as though it is indeed Laurette Spang who played Cassiopeia on the original BSG!

Jump the Shark was a website when shows that tried to regain their popularity but do something on an episode that causes the show to lose interest. Hence Jump the Shark.
