Shark week 2008

[SharkWeek08]

Hey everyone, I just thought everyone would really dig hearing about this years SHARK WEEK 2008, starting Sunday, July 27th!

Cool, so here it is. I'm posting this thread with kinkarso and LordNevar's permission. So I just posted this thread to see what people think of Shark Week. Past experiences, what you're looking forward to, any questions you may have for me concerning SHark Week, etc. Let's keep this going people. Let's have fun with it. Oh, and be sure to check out the site: Shark Week : Discovery Channel : Shark Behavior and Conservation

||||HERE's THE LISTING ON ALL THE SHARK WEEK EVENTS||||
Shark Week 2008 Premieres

SUNDAY @ 9PM -- Mythbusters: Shark Specialhttp://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/slide-shows/mythbusters.html

Jamie and Adam totally bring it. Using their usual explosive experimentation (expect lots of hilarity), they travel from CA's deep blue to the Bahamas in hunt of debunking some serious shark myths. My personal fave, are sharks repelled by magnets? They even create a 16-foot long robo-shark; how's that for upping the ante!?

MONDAY @ 9PM -- Surviving Sharks with Survivorman!http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/slide-shows/surviving-sharks.html

Everyone's favorite Survivorman, Les Stroud, gives tips and tricks on how best to play it safe in the water. He tests some popular survivor theories -- is it safer to stay in a group or tread water along? -- that i'm sure you'll find useful when you're stranded in shark infested waters off the coast of South Africa.

Also on Monday, Day of the Shark @ 10pm.

TUESDAY @ 9PM -- Dirty Jobs: Shark Special with Mike Rowe

Sharks don't just life in the warm waters of the tropics, how about looking north...waaaaay north! The mysterious Greenland shark lives near the Arctic circle and Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe travels to their bitter cold home to find out more about the large, slow-moving behemoths. Learn how the rapid ecological changes near the north pole are affecting this awesome creature, and how that trickles down the food chain.

Also on Tuesday, How Not to Become Shark Bait @ 10pm.

THURSDAY @ 9PM -- Mysteries of the Shark Coasthttp://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/blog/slide-show/slide-show.html

Why are shark populations mysteriously declining? Follow a special team of marine biologists, scientists and adventurers with noted documentary filmmaker Mike deGruy as they on the largest shark tagging expedition in Australian history.

Discovery Channel and History Television are probably the only channels on basic cable in Canada, that you can actually learn something.

Beats watching MTV now, that's for sure.

Anyways, the only show I would probably watch on "Shark Week" would be Mythbusters.

I am interested in that show, because of the extents they go thru to bust myths.
