Bumped the House
The exact opposite of the phrase Jumped the Shark. When a television show hits such heights of popularity that even the White House publicly announces their plans to schedule any broadcasts by the President himself around the scheduled airing of said television show.
Using a direct quote made on January 8, 2010 by the White House Press Secretary run through a Fox News update: The White House does not plan to schedule President Obama's first State of the Union address on the same night as the premiere of the popular ABC series. "I don't foresee a scenario in which millions of people that would hope to finally get some conclusion in 'Lost' are preempted by the president," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday.
