From music legends to sports heroes, from TV shows to politics, Jump the Shark catalogs those priceless moments when the magic vanishes and the mighty become the fallen! From the creator of the immensely popular website that has coined a catch phrase comes the book that is bound to be the pop-culture sensation of the season. But beware: these shark-infested pages will leave you in stitches and wondering where the insidious fin will pop up next!

    " I think this was supposed to be funny, but it really wasn't. It was marginally informative, but I lost interest really quickly & skipped over a lot of topics. I remember enjoying the website, but I think that the book was just too much. The lists were stupid. "

    " Since the book is completely opinion, I disagreed with a great deal of what was said, especially when the book moved from the TV section and started talking about celebrities and music (I skipped sports and politics all together). Fairly useful for getting a brief history of things though. "
