Can a show unjump a shark?

From TVGuide:

Lucy and Ricky did it. So did Laverne and Shirley. Now Drs. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are moving to greater Los Angeles — specifically, Beverly Hills — just in time for Nip/Tuck's Season 5 premiere tonight at 10 pm/ET on FX. While cynics might cry that a series changing locales for its fifth season is a stunt, it actually makes perfect sense for the firm of McNamara/Troy to relocate to the plastic-surgery capital of the world.

"It was smart that Ryan [Murphy, Nip/Tuck's creator] anticipated the need for a change," muses Dylan Walsh (Sean) to TVGuide.com. "We probably could have done another season in Miami, but I think Ryan felt like it was good to go before people got tired of it." Adds Julian McMahon (Christian): "The move is a great idea. It's invigorated everyone in a lot of different ways."

"The tone of the show will be lighter and there's some really fun stuff, but I don't think we've left all the darkness behind," says Walsh. "I don't think we'll go back to the 'Carver' tone [from a few seasons ago]. It's more of a 'selling your soul' tone. The show has more relevance in L.A. In Miami [getting cosmetic surgery] was about vanity and how far you'd go to be beautiful. Here, it's inevitably going to be tied to the business, people's careers and the ability to make money."

And the final quotes are a hee!:

Murphy has said that the show is a "love story between two heterosexual men," which implies there will be love — but no love scenes — between the two guys, at least not this season. "We keep trying to get them to write that in, but Ryan is very shy," jokes Walsh.

McMahon says that he's also asking for a Sean/Christian romp — only, unlike his costar, he's not kidding. "That would have to be the series finale," McMahon says. "And I'm still pushing for that."
