Helpful Score: 3
I loved this book! Unfortunately, "Jump the Shark" has just done that ... Jumped the Shark! It sold its popular website to TV Guide and now it's a mess! TV Guide took something that also included music, sports, politics, and celebrities, and just dismissed anything that didn't have to do with entertainment. Truthfully, I liked the other parts of the book like when did Al Sharpton jump the shark? (Tawana Brawley episode and no apology.) Or when did Olympic figure skating jump the shark? (Nancy Kerrigan/Tanya Harding debacle.) A lot has happened since its 2002 publication. Unfortunately we'll never know the EXACT date Bushie jumped the shark because TV Guide seems to think we're a vapid society that only wants to know about entertainment. So, I guess Jon Hein (the author) jumped the shark when he sold his website to TV Guide. Ironic, don't you think?
