It's quite the misconception that this somehow was the beginning of the end of Happy Days. The show was at the peak of its popularity in the seasons that followed and spawed two very successful spin offs. The beginning of the end of Happy Days was when Ron Howard left the show. By the time Ted McGinley became a cast member the show was truly unwatchable.

That episode was at the beginning of fifth season and Happy Days lasted eleven season.

The premise of “Jumping the Shark” is that the quality of the show went down, but what’s odd about Happy Days is that it didn’t become a hit until its third season so most people had only been watching the show a year or two when it’s considered to have fallen off.
