I think OP is using "jumping the shark" to mean "became unfashionable" which is not what it means.
It means "this once good thing has now became absurd and dragged out or has crossed over into stupidity and irrelevance."
It comes from an episode late in the run of Happy Days involving an absurd plotline in which Fonzie jumps over a shark while water skiing. It is generally recognized as the period when the show went into a rapid decline in quality.
