That is when the show became so dumb I did not watch anymore, and it is what the phrase is from, I didn't say who coined it or when.

Also, Jon Hein coined the term in 1985, 8 years after the episode aired https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark

No it didn’t., the later seasons the show got mature storylines and stopped being laugh track crap.
