When BJ and the Bear [1] Jumped the Shark. [2]

Jumping the Shark is that point in a television series when you know, you
just know, the series has peaked and can only go down from there. The
reference is from the time the Fonz jumped over a shark tank on “Happy Days.”

FYI, WKRP in Cincinnati [3] never jumped the shark.
