It’s that time of year again. Shark Week. After the media firestorm created by last year’s highly controversial docudrama, Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives, Discovery really tried to capitalize on the monster trend. Most of the new specials this week focused on the monster movie aspect of things rather than the science side. Can’t say I was thrilled with the change. A lot of the shows were fun, but they did get tedious after a while. Can Shark Week mix it up a little more next year? I mean, just looking at the titles you can see the vibe they were clearly going for. Alien Sharks, Zombie Sharks, Spawn of Jaws? Message received, Discovery. Time to back off.
