Arrested Development Jumps the Shark! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 01-28-2005, 12:57 AM

Henry Winkler made the rounds plugging next month's "Happy Days" 30th reunion on ABC at Wisteria Lane. Winkler is loving his time on Fox's "Arrested Development," he said, and has an upcoming scene that should prove memorable: His character, the sexually confused lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn, stands on a dock and, to make his exit, jumps over the body of a dead shark on the ground. "I'm the only person in television history to have jumped the shark twice!" Winkler said, beaming.

(The expression "jump the shark," signifying the moment a series veers into decline, was coined after Winkler's character Fonzie water-skied over a shark, the moment marking the creative demise of "Happy Days.")
