Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Bone The Fish is a website written by critics of shows who converse about when a given work of fiction has Jumped the Shark. It sprung out of the community of jumptheshark.com.

The term "Bone the Fish" was created in direct reference to TV Guide parent Gemstar. Sometime in 2006, Jon Hein decided to sell the Web site known as "Jump the Shark" or "JumptheShark.com". The Bone the Fish community likes to say that this was the point in time when the Web site Jump the Shark "Boned the Fish".
