I actually liked the shark jump trio of episodes. Had some really funny moments. The ratings were huge and it was a strong start to season 5. Seasons 5 & 6 were okay, but the cracks in the formula were definitely showing. Season 7 is where it seriously started to go south.

While reading this thread I was surprised at the number of posters who thought HD declined once it went in front of a studio audience. I thought I was the only one. I really enjoyed the first two seasons. Once they did the live studio audience the show declined for me. It wasn't funny anymore; it became lame. The jokes were awful and the plotlines became silly and dumb.

If you were a human with a working brain, this is how you would have written your awful posting.
The term "jumping the shark" came about after Fonzie jumped the shark in an episode. The ratings for the show fell after that and they never recovered. That is now a phrase that is used for shows when a show has lost the qualities that made it successful and is now declining. Even though it happened in season 5 for Happy Days, I believe that the show "jumped the shark." when Richie and Ralph left the show. It sank further when Joanie and Chachi also left.
