When the television series becomes a full hit, creative and/or commercially, high pressure is immediately put on its shower, writers and producers to keep their audience engaged. The trick for these creatives is to give viewers more than what they want, and at the same time prevent the play from stopping - but how to deal with this, has changed dramatically over the years, especially for the sitcom.

When people got involved in a series like "The Dick Van Dyke Show", "The Coud Dive" and "The Bob Newhart Show", they looked forward to the next chapter in the current narrative as they did with Contemporary sitcom as "arrested development", "Cover your enthusiasm" and "The first marriage of Georgi and Mandi". While in those older shows there were characters trying to achieve certain goals for several seasons, viewers generally returned just to see top comic ensembles, create great laughter. And as long as the ratings were good enough to satisfy the network, all they needed was to throw fungi into lubricated speeds.

And yet, there were huge examples during the history of the television of successful sitcoms unnecessarily overcrowded with many special episodes. Sometimes, manufacturers feel the need to generate a serious discussion about an important problem (racism, addiction, lift label); Other times, they simply feel like they allow to ripen with a two -part event that will make everyone hang. When working, You end with "Goodbye, Radar" on "M*A*S*h". When you roll with a snake, you get the three-day disaster that is the "Happy Days" saga "Hollywood" and you fell to Goliath for Nielsen's rating.

When Hollywood started a three-way "Happy Days" season, the sitcom created by Gari Marshall was the number one show on television. For any reason, the Nostalgia-Total series has decided it will be fun to get the 1950s Milwaukee show and set them to get rid of the capital of show business. It was spectacular could not miss the TV, built on a climax, so extremely funny (and antithic for the essential relativity of the show) that, decades later, it caused euphemism for the point in the series, where everything goes down.

Yes, this is the place where the "shark jumping" originated - and it literally refers to the moment when the most popular character of the show, Arthur Fonzi Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler), throws on skis in the water and jumps a tiger shark in the Pacific Ocean. If this sounds funny, it was. Why did the creatives of the series do this, and did he really kill "happy days?"
