Leave It to Beaver is a 1950s and 1960s family-oriented American television situation comedy about an inquisitive but often naive boy named Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver and his adventures at home, in school, and around his suburban neighborhood. The show has attained an iconic status in the United States, with the Cleavers exemplifying the idealized suburban family of the mid-twentieth century.

Is this some group competing with "Jump the Shark?"

I was wondering the same thing, I despise "Jump the Shark" and this apparent knockoff can't be any better.

Jump The Shark became defunct a few years ago, when they sold out to TV Guide, who deleted all the comments

It has been like that since around February 2009. To be honest w/ you I don't think that what is left of the Jump the Shark site has been updated in at least a year and a half.

If I have enough time and energy, I intend on posting from the "spiritual successor" to the JTS site, BTF.com on every devoted sitcom message board on this website.

The term "Bone the Fish" was created in direct reference to TV Guide parent Gemstar. Sometime in 2006, Jon Hein decided to sell the website known as "Jump the Shark" or "JumptheShark.com". Hein sold his company, Jump The Shark, Inc., to Gemstar (owners of TV Guide) on June 20, 2006 for "over $1 million". After Jon Hein sold it he went to work with Howard Stern. Some Howard Stern staff have speculated that the site sold closer to $5-$10 million, however. We like to say that was the point in time when the website Jump the Shark "Boned the Fish".

Around January/February 2009, Gemstar decided to redesign the website. With this new redesign they decided to scrap all the old content and make JTS a redirect to their gossip blog site. Some argue that this is the point in time when the website "Boned the Fish".

It was a complete slap in the face to the jumptheshark.com community. The icing on the cake was Gemstar had the audacity to redirect the old JTS site to a subdirectory of TVGuide.com, basically they bought page views looking for Jumptheshark.com. To show how clueless they are, they went about titling some of their blog columns "shark bites" and "dancing with the sharks" to get more readers.

This show so never boned.

One of the greatest TV shows ever made, as far as I am concerned. They can show this at my funeral.

Torgo · 09-27-2013, 04:28 PM

It never boned(What a dumb word), nor did it jump the shark.

I thought that "boning" at least in terms of a fish, meant literally flaying the skin of the fish "down to the bone".

I know nothing about any other definition, I assure you.

I'll take your word for that. Maybe.

But what you're describing, isn't that called DE-boning?

Retro4Life · 09-29-2013, 03:22 AM

A quick search on Google reveals this...(I only included the first definition)

bone
bōn/
verb
gerund or present participle: boning

1.
remove the bones from (meat or fish).
"while the gumbo is simmering, bone the cooked chicken"

LITB was always wonderful. No jumping the shark, going downhill, etc. ever IMO. A wonderful endearing show - for many reasons. Just finished watching an ep as a matter of fact.

Torgo · 09-29-2013, 09:47 AM

The only episode I consider weak is the one where Beaver has to wear the bunny suit. It would have worked when he was 7 or 8, but not when he was 12.
