Shark Week is Back

I just watched a shark consume over 470 pounds of tuna...according to the host of the show that like a human eating 40 pounds of sushi!  Who wants to go out for sushi tonight? Not me.  You know what else I don't want to do?  Watch Shark Week.  No, no, have no fear I haven't lost my love of shark's I am just really angry with Discovery Channel this year.  (Oh, I am going to watch it regardless, more on that later).  I love Shark Week, and all of the promos for it this year really had me excited, but discovery channel is a bit like a One Day Sale, they promised a lot, but when you get there nothing is in your size and nothing is new! 

I mean, Discovery Channel does Shark Week EVERY YEAR and every year it comes in August...so what exactly is their excuse for not having any new programs for this years line up?!  Is it really possible that there was nothing new in the shark world this year?  Could it be that there weren't any crazy people willing to get into the water and be filmed while being hunted by a Great White, a Tiger, or a Bull Shark?  Let's get real here Discovery Channel, there will always be people who are willing to do these things.  Not to mention the fact that there is a MAJOR long line fishing problem right now that is claiming hundreds of shark lives per day!  Don't tell me that Animal Planet has a monopoly on Sea Shepard, you couldn't get Paul Watson to have a special on sharks this year?  Or what about this little oil spill we have going on here?  Not enough time to record some current events on the fact that this spill is creating sharks to migrate out of their normal waters?  WHALE SHARKS PEOPLE....THEY ARE CLOSE TO SHORE AND DISCOVERY CHANNEL IS NOT ON THAT?!  White Sharks in Massachusetts ...we might hear about that in three years on a Shark Week Special.  Get the rights to Sharkwater, it's fascinating...do something instead of just showing us the same stuff from last year. 

People are going to start rebelling.  You might start getting sharks sent to your offices "Save Friday Night Lights" style! I mean, what's up Discovery Channel?  Oh....I hope the sharks didn't get you all and that's why we have no programing this year.  Well if that is true...Discovery Channel:  Call me, I got some ideas for you and would LOVE to work for you!
