oh look down there... a shark

Are you trying to say LUGNET has "jumped the shark"? That's a serious question,
please answer seriously... if you are, you may not be the only person thinking
that, not by a wide margin.
I'm sorry but...what does it mean to "jump the shark"?

"Q. What is jumping the shark?

A. It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television
program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all
downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it "Jumping the Shark."  From that
moment on, the program will simply never be the same.

The aforementioned expression refers to the telltale sign of the demise of Happy
Days, our favorite example, when Fonzie actually "jumped the shark." The rest is
history."

The point, where it gets so lame that anything further is not worth bothering to
watch.
