(revival)
The scene was so preposterous that many believed it to be an ill-advised attempt at reviving the declining ratings of the flagging show... since then, it has become a metaphor that has been used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point at which the characters or plot of a TV series veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline.
The term Jumping the shark alludes to a scene in the TV series Happy Days when the popular character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, on water skis, literally jumps over a shark.
A phase in a relationship to rekindle romance after a betrayal or tort action.

My boyfriend has been going so overboard on the gifts and little extras since I caught him with that other girl, every time we go out it is like "jumping the shark".

A character from the SNL line up of back in the day. He'd knock on the door and say a phrase to convince the party on the other side of the door to answer. For example knock knock
"Knock knock" (actor on other side of door) "Who's there" The landshark then answers, "Pizza man" then the actor on other side of door would open the door and get eaten by the landshark
