History WebVideo / SharkJumping

* NoPronunciationGuide: Beth mispronounces Julianne Hough's last name as "Hugh" instead of "Huff"; the finished video had to include the proper pronunciation on screen.

* CutAndPasteTranslation: The reason why they thought that the TV adaptation of ''Quarterlife'' failed. It was originally a web series whose episodes were about ten minutes each, and its pacing was done accordingly. Creator/{{NBC}}'s attempt to translate it into a full-length TV series meant literally slapping together episodes of the web show into longer TV episodes, ruining the pacing.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: [[invoked]] The point of the two-parter "TV Doesn't Get Cyberbullying", which covered two TV programs that attempted to tackle the problem of online abuse (the ''Law & Order: SVU'' episode "The Intimidation Game", and ''Cyberbully'').

* BiTheWay: While reviewing ''The Wiz Live!'', Beth admits her PerverseSexualLust for the female dancers playing the Poppies. Tim seems [[GirlOnGirlIsHot turned on by this fact]] himself.
-->'''Beth:''' They also get blindsided by some Poppies, which are... ''nice.''\\
''<AsideGlance from Tim>''\\
'''Beth:''' What? Sexuality's a spectrum.\\
'''Tim:''' ''Nice.''

In 2017, Shark Jumping went on a months-long hiatus that ultimately ended with Beth and Tim deciding to halt production on the show, citing time constraints and a desire to focus on their personal careers. The entirety of the show can be found on Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/user/sharkjumpingshow here]].

->"There comes a time when life gets you down, when {{ratings}} are low. You've got to do what it takes, got to [[RatingsStunt up the stakes]], 'til there's [[JumpingTheShark nowhere left to go]]!"

Tim and Beth are also both well known as journalists independent of the show: Tim is currently a writer for ''Creator/TheOnion'' and Beth is currently the weekend editor for io9 and a contributing reporter for The Daily Dot.

''Shark Jumping'' is a web series created by [[CreatorCouple married couple]] Beth Elderkin and Tim Sampson in which they look at hit TV shows we know and love to figure out where, exactly, they [[JumpingTheShark jumped the shark]]. To begin with, they have to analyze the show to figure out why people liked it in the first place, as well as to precisely chart their decline and the elements that started running them OffTheRails. They've also covered [[MadeForTVMovie made-for-TV movies]], and in summer 2016 they are running a series called ''Once a Pilot'' where they cover TV shows that either [[OneEpisodeWonder only lasted one episode]] or whose {{pilot}}s never even got picked up. They also have a recap vlog for ''Series/OnceUponATime'' and a gaming-focused podcast called ''Easy Mode Go''.
