Answer: Fonzie

The phrase "jumping the shark" has come to refer to when a television series has outlived its shelf life. It often happens after cast changes, especially if cute kids are involved. The particular episode in question "Hollywood Part 3" (September 20, 1977) follows the "Happy Days" gang as they travel to California. Fonzie is challenged to jump over a shark on water skis, which he does successfully. While "Happy Days" did go downhill, especially in its later seasons, it was still quite popular in 1977. Later that season, Robin Williams would play Mork, launching his career. Henry Winkler actually is a very talented water skier and did most of the skiing scenes in the episode himself. Only the jump over the shark was done by a stuntman. It is hard to imagine Richie or Ralph having the courage to jump over a shark. Watching Marion Ross do it would have been awesome.

From Quiz Unreal Estate

Answer: The Brady Bunch

All of the families lived in California, but it was Mike and Carol Brady who owned the big house on Clinton Way; it had enough room for 'yours, mine and' Alice! The upscale Bluths lived in Newport Beach; the Partridges, when not on their bus, lived in San Pueblo; the Tanners (not the ones from "Full House") also lived in Los Angeles, but at Hemdale Street - I wonder if they knew the Bradys? Anyway, the Brady Bunch house still exists and, if you're in the area and should wish to visit, it is located at 11222 Dilling Street, North Hollywood, California.

From Quiz (More of) What City Is That?

Answer: Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a convenient location for television programs because of all the studios in the area, not to mention the talent -- actors, crew, directors, producers -- who live there. "Dragnet" is a police procedural show that ran on NBC beginning in 1951, after several years as a radio program. Jack Webb was the executive producer as well as the star, starring as LAPD detective Sergeant Joe Friday. HBO premiered "Six Feet Under" in 2001 and ran it for five seasons. Based on the Fisher family, who owned, operated, and lived above a funeral home in Los Angeles, "Six Feet Under" won multiple Emmy, Screen Actor Guild, and Golden Globes awards.

The rich and beautiful land that made up the Cartwright's prize Ponderosa ranch was located on the Eastern border of Lake Tahoe, in the state of Nevada.

From Quiz Local Inspiration

Answer: Univille, South Dakota

The warehouse that protects the world from potentially harmful supernatural artifacts is located seven miles outside of the fictional town of Univille. The town, pronounced Un A Ville and not You Na Ville, is very small community, as is all of the real towns I provided as incorrect options. In fact, the incorrect choices are all towns with populations under 1000 residents as of 2011. The warehouse agents, Artie, Myka, Pete, Claudia and Steve (as of season four) all live at Lena's. Lena herself works for the warehouse, but not as a field agent. The previous warehouse, Warehouse 12, was located in London, England and was where HG Wells started her work as an agent around 1889. Helena Georgia Wells was the imagination behind all of the stories taken credit for by her brother Charles Wells. At least that's the truth for "Warehouse 13".

From Quiz School Daze: TV Shows in High Schools

Answer: Head of the Class

"Head of the Class" featured ten genius teens enrolled in an Honors Program at Monroe High School. Jawaharlal Choudhury (Joher Coleman) was a good-natured and witty kid newly arrived from India. Their teacher, Charlie Moore (Howard Hesseman), introduced the bookish group to real life via sports, journalism, and musical productions. Coleman played the first East Indian character in a US situation-comedy. Choudhury was stereotypical and underused, but nonetheless broke a longstanding race and ethnicity barrier on television. In 1988, "Head of the Class" was also the first US sitcom filmed in the Soviet Union, when the Honors Program students went to Moscow to meet gifted Moscow teens. The show ran from 1986 to 1990, with changes in the cast, including Mr. Moore, in the final season.
