You're right about "jumped the shark" being kind of an obscure term,
so it could be replaced with "lost its appeal." I would prefer that
the other two constructions be left intact, though.

Thanks,

Our ignorance of "jumped the shark" is a reflection of our lack of interest

Hi-

There don't seem to be any comments associated with any of the blue
font bits except for the final one with regards to the phrase "jump
the shark," which is a term designating a television show as having
overstayed its welcome.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown
