阿甘老師的瘋狂美語教室 第三課 jump the shark

你最喜歡的連續劇怎麼越來越難看?有歹戲拖棚的感覺....，那是因為這節目jump the shark.

jump the shark

Deginition : A term to describe a moment when a TV show that was once freat has reached a point where it declines in quality and popularity.

Esample : After a few years, jackie Wu's Sunday night TV show jumped th shark

when it ran out of new ideas. The audience was tired of it, and the rating dropped.

I first learned this tern from a program on VH1 (a cable TV channel) that talked about popular TV show in the 80's and 90's. I found it really intresting and useful. :-)
