Riley and I were discussing American Idol recently, he’s watching it and I’m not. I told him it had finally Jumped the Shark! Ok, add my son to the list of people who didn’t know what that meant, as I’m sure there are a few of you out there.
Jumping the Shark occurs when a TV show reaches it’s stupid point and there’s no recovery, with cancellation eminent. It’s happened many times to many TV shows over the years since 1977, when Fonzie jumped the shark tank on Happy Days.
Here’s a short clip of the actual Jump that was preceded by twenty minutes of Fonzie approaching the ramp, with hundreds of people on the shore stressing out.
So how has Idol jumped? Let’s start with the Stupid Ho, Nicki Minaj. This ignorant, no talent entity has produced lyrics like This and videos like This.
Then, there’s the bulbous Mariah The Diva Carey, Keith No Chest Urban and Randy I’m sorry dawg, it just didn’t work for me Jackson.
Maybe the shark will eat them quickly and put them out of their misery.
Come on now. You have named some of my favorite singers jumping the shark. I don’t understand at all.
Nope, the singers didn’t jump, the show did. Now, if you would like to update your list of favorite singers, try Here!
