CRAZY TEACHER 的瘋狂英語教室: 美國人這樣說

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...收視率也越來越爛, 那是因為這節目jump the shark!


jump the shark


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



Example: After a few years, Jackie Wu's Sunday night TV show jumped the shark when it ran out of new ideas. The audience was tired of it, and the rating dropped.


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