The Lone Shark was a weekly, 30-minute public-access television cable TV program which broadcast for ten years (1991–2001) on WFAC-TV (1991–2000) and SoundView Community Television (2000–2001). Both television stations were part of Cablevision of Southern Connecticut’s cable system, which spans the southwestern coast of Connecticut from the New York State border to the middle of New Haven County. The Lone Shark was hosted by the program's creator and Executive Producer Jim Sharky and co-hosted by the program's Producer Sean Haffner (a.k.a. ″Sean The Producer″). Although the program was unscripted, Sharky would usually have a list of topics that he wanted to discuss with Haffner on each episode. The Lone Shark was known for its fast pace, strong language and adult themes, often pushing the limits of what station managers believed could be allowed on television. The Lone Shark was originally recorded in-studio or on-location and edited before broadcast, but after 1993 the program was broadcast "live" without a broadcast delay, editing or censor. In August 2001 the program was permanently suspended from production by the SoundView Television station management after The Lone Shark aired three seconds of a graphic adult sex video on live television during prime time.

Sharky's appearances were basically as a "correspondent", in that he would pre-tape "on-location" segments that would then be shown during episodes of VoxPop Television. "Outta Control!" After working on VoxPop Television for a few months, Sharky decided that he had learned enough to produce and host his own television program. In the summer of 1990, Sharky began production of ″Outta Control!″. The program was basically what its name implied: a 60-minute-long eclectic mix of in-studio interviews with faux guests. Outta Controll! also included strange features such as studio crew members holding large banners with the title of the program's current segment printed on the banner (in place of on-screen computer graphics) behind Sharky and the guests. After only six episodes, Outta Control! was suspended from production by Cablevision's station management for violations of the station's broadcast regulations. One segment of the program had featured the contact information for the
