8/10 as well, except I misread the first question, thinking it was "Who died in the movie Jaws" and I was like shoot never seen it and randomly guessed, not seeing speilburg as an option which would have probably made me re-read the question lol

8/10 for me today, I got all of the ones about real sharks (although I hesitated a bit deciding on cancer), but I haven't seen Finding Nemo in over a decade, and my knowledge of Super Bowl half-time shows starts and ends with Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction 😂

Oh, also, happy 500th daily quiz everybody! 🎊

Dang. I figured hammerheads probably didn’t attack humans much, but then I thought great whites very rarely attacked humans as well. In hindsight I remember at least a few great white attacks in the last 10 years in the news. I couldn’t escape the… jaws… of defeat.

9/10. Superbowl is not shown here, so had to guess #4 and tried Beyonce.

Still happy: I made two easy mistakes yesterday, so improvement.

I dont think the answer provided for "jumped the shark" was really the right one. Its meaning is just that a TV show or movie had a ludicrous and unrealistic moment, but doesnt have to include the definition of being past its prime

I mean it does kinda imply that the show declined in quality though I do agree that the clue could be a bit more specific

I just commented something similar below, but it means that the show tried something ludicrous or unrealistic to reinterest an audience that's grown bored with it because it's past its prime. It can't just be any silly situation; it has to be because the show is sagging and isn't what it once was and they're trying to pump it back up. At least that's how I've always heard it used.

No, it does specifically mean that it has past its prime.

It comes from the episode of Happy Days that people largely agree to be the start of the decline of happy days

I agree from Happy Days and past it's prime. Arguably, the time they Jump the Shark, it is the show's peak. Really, Happy Days peak was before that. But the statement is passed tense, Jumped the shark - the show peaked sometime in the passed.

Q8 doesn't seem right. The term 'jump the shark' usually refers to something in a film or TV show which is so ridiculous that it is too far-fetched to be believable (taken from an episode of Happy Days where the Fonz water-skis over a shark).

I suppose 'past its prime' sort of fits, as when something 'jumps the shark', it is often seen to be going into decline; however it's not a neat fit.

I'd say it means specifically that a show is so past its prime that it tries something like a stunt, gimmick, or extreme plot device that's outside how it usually functions, just to interest the audience again--not necessarily that it's unbelievable. I believe the irony of the phrase is that Fonzy jumped the shark relatively early in Happy Days' run.

Here's the full dictionary definition according to Wikipedia.

The idiom "jumping the shark", or "shark jumping", or to "jump the shark"; means that a creative work or entity has evolved and reached a point in which it has exhausted its core intent and is introducing new ideas that are discordant with or an extreme exaggeration (caricature) of its original theme or purpose.

So yes, something that has jumped the shark is past its prime.

For some reason, I guess people are expecting a full dictionary definition even though that is not the way the question is set up.

The reason we set up the question the way we did was that the full definition is too long.

A great 10/10 with no guesses at all because I love sharks! And thank goodness that the closest we got to a sports question was about Katy Perry's halftime show, which even I heard about.

Bonnethead sharks- a relative of the hammerhead- are capable of eating seagrass with some having a 9:1 seagrass:squid diet. Bonnetheads are, for now, the only omnivorous shark species to have been discovered.

The first question on "Jaws" reminded me of this old BBC interview, that resurfaced a few years back. They are on location for the filming of Jaws.

It was a huge investment, the reporter says, and the producers must have a lot of faith in their 26 year old director, Steven Spielberg.
