A couple of months ago, jumptheshark.com, which was a popular online community involving users voting and commenting on the exact moment that their favorite TV show "jumped the shark" (or it a creative wall, in reference to an episode of Happy Days featuring the Fonz literally jumping over a shark while on water skis), was transformed for all of the wrong reasons. Basically, it became little more than a barebones, celebrity gossip site overseen by the new owners of TV Guide (who purchased jumptheshark.com from Jon Hein several years back).

As a replacement of sorts, comes what is known as Bone The Fish. Not only does it discuss TV shows, but musicians, celebrities and film series.
 
so , jump the shark has boned the fish?
 
Bone the fish? I thought people were saying "Nuked the fridge" now.
 
So basically it's like Jump The Shark only they talk about movies, musicians, and other celebs instead of just TV shows?
 
I've been visiting the site sporadically for the last couple days, and have contributed a couple miscellaneous items. It seems like it has promise, although the design for the site is as dull as the dishwasher. It seems like it could be good if enough people start visiting, because a site like this lives and dies based on how much the visitors participate!
