Jump the shark moment


I've seen the first episode and it seems like a continuation of That 70s show for the first few minutes then it jumps the shark right away as soon as you hear a girl singing Alannis Morriset painfully trying to pass off being a 90s stereotype and from then on the entire episode is one big Sunny D commercial.

atlantis morrissette was v popular in the 90s bro

reply

Maybe to snobby rich preppy girls in California but all the girls in my school were obsessed with TLC

reply

Alanis was really popular in St. Croix County Wisconsin in the 90's. Jagged little Pill was the go to breakup album.
We lived in a farming community.

tlc AND atlantis morrissette where both popular growing up in a small college town.

reply

Alanis (not atlantis) was very (not v) good, bro. This scene and the show are not.

am wondering who thought she was riot grrrl? She was 'angry' re a break up but no she was not part of that. Totally different. Morrisette came in after that was wearing off as a trend. Would have been better to have her fixated with L7....which had a breakthrough song in the early 1990's and dressing like then.

reply

You are correct. She was a pop sensation, not a riot grrrl.

reply

L7 were punk alt rock, not pop

reply

and riot grrrl was not pop. so somebody being called a riot grrrl would be into punk.

reply

Great usage of jump the shark

reply

In 1995, Jagged Little Pill was unstoppable force colliding with an immovable object...

How old are you? Do you even remember the 90s?

I was in 5th grade and I promise nobody in the school yard was talking about Jagged Little Pill.
