Shark Week...Love it or hate it?

Everyone has spoken of it but I have no idea what it is.

I gather it is about sharks. Beyond that? I have no idea.

It's an annual tv event on Discovery Channel. You can read more about it HERE.

Shark Week is a great educational opportunity to push for the conservation of sharks. Many breeds have been driven to extinction by unnecessary killings.

I'm really enjoying Shark Week and the awesome HD cinematography with the Phantom camera but I hate Sharkzilla and the nightly chompdown on the beach.

I love it I just wish they had more new stories about shark attacks. It's always the same ones. I mean I do feel bad for the people that get attacked but I like to here the stories if you know what I mean!

I'm really excited about this year because one of my favorite youtubers is hosting. Philip Defranco.

Shark Week on Discovery is really the one piece of programming I look forward to ALL YEAR!

I LVE sharks, though, and I am SO interested in them. I never fail to miss Shark Week. In fact, yes...I mark it on my calender (blushes).

That's true. I noticed that, too. I didn't watch it much when I was younger, but the stuff I DID see was very much on the educational level. Now, it is more about sensationalism. There's a lot of folks on the Shark Week forum that feel exactly the same way. I realize Disc. needs to pay it's bills with viewers; but it would be great if they could maybe do ONE sensational show (I very much enjoyed the show a few years back about the survivors of the unfortunate USS INDIANAPOLIS [I had read the book about a year previous; great read, btw]), and then make the rest of the programming educational/about conservation.

I'm indifferent. I'll watch it if there's nothing else on, but otherwise, there are other shows i'd rather watch.

:3 I love Shark Week, I look forward to it all year actually.
My favorite program on it is the one about goblin sharks though. (can't remember the program name, but just try and tell me a shark that can pop it's mouth out to catch prey isn't the coolest thing ever. >=3 )
