Jumping the Shark

The term is actually "jumping the SHARK" referring to the painful last episodes of Happy days in which arthru fonzerelli aka 'the fonze" jumps over sharks on water skis while simultaneously wearing his trademark leather jacket. Jumping the shark occurs when a show has hit and alltime low and has to do something drastic and crazy to maintain its viewers and keep them interested.
Example- Hey did you hear that Sean and Christian are moving troy/ macnamara to LA for the new season of Nip/tuck? Wow I hope there not jumping the shark with that one.

Handsome Shark

An attractive male, bearing similarities to sharks. Examples of known, handsome sharks are Michael Fassbender (His smile is extremely wide, showing off all his teeth, very much like a shark) and the character Simon form the E4 series Misfits.
A handsome shark is sexy, maybe pale and a little bit bad.
Girl 1:"Did you see that guy, he was so hot."
Girl 2: "Yeah, he was a total shark"

Quote from Misfits 2x03
Kelly: What have I told you about dicking around with Simon?
Nathan: Who’s dicking around?
Kelly: You put your tongue in his mouth!
Nathan: Ah, Jesus. Alright, alright. So I got a bit fresh with him. I was staring into those big beautiful eyes; he’s like a… he’s like a handsome shark! I couldn’t help myself. I love him.
