 The phrase “jump the shark” is said to have originated from a Happy Days episode, where Fonzie jumped over a shark while on water skis. This precise moment, with such an over-the-top and unbelievable storyline, signaled the decline of the show. The phrase is now used to describe the moment a TV show begins to decline.

So, has this happened to Grey’s Anatomy? I watched the 5^th season premier last night. All in all, it was typical Grey’s Anatomy, with all its corniness, goriness and great Indie music. And yes, the patients talk in great detail about their personal lives to the Seattle Grace docs, but that has always been a staple of Grey’s.

But I’m sorry, Meredith’s dream about Derrick dying was so predictable! And if Denny makes one more appearance from the dead (okay, it was a dream sequence as well, but still!), I will have to stop watching.

Seriously.
