Agreed.
I have to say though, and i know that it sounds shallow , that i ABHOR the larger sharks with an intense passion. You see, i'm a huge pinniped(seals, walri , sea lions) lover and hate the animals that kill them. Polar bears, club wielding humans, orca whales, hate 'em. There's the ol' "oh, you should respect the order of life" jazz of course, and that's what my thinking processes configure, but i cant help but feel a sense of hatred toward those that chomp down on my beloved blubberous blobs of awesomeness; this is especially the case since shifting from an intp to an infp after getting bit by a vampire a little over a year ago.
C'est la vie. Fuck sharks and their tv programming! But um yeah, if i were to watch it, i'd rather a righteous dose of diversity.

The scales are similar to their teeth. They are sharp, rub them against the grain and you're gonna get scratched up.
more so than you may think; they're comprised of some of the same molecules making up the teeth.

I know it feels cool when something you're interested in is actually on tv, but that's only because tv is so incredibly horrible that you're amazed to find interest in it. That's not something to celebrate or get upset over when you're underwhelmed by it. It's a reason to turn it off and watch what you want.
Well said!

I couldn't agree more. Swamp Loggers? What the fuck is that shit? I actually sent them an email about how much that pissed me off. The fuck were they thinking? "wetlands are disappearing in the US at a ridiculous rate. Know what we should do? Pay people who fuck them up and make a TV show about it" Fuckin assbags.
yeah swamp loggers is being pretty much copyed by the history channel, "swamp people"
its fucking retarded the shit they try and do these days, no one can make a good idea, let alone an original one

Yeah, it's still pretty cool to see sometimes, but I still predict a total fail in ratings compared to previous years.
TV should just fold already and be offered through internet packages. You should just subscribe to the internet and have a package that includes a router that also has cable/digital outputs for tv.
Shit would rock. You could just have 'channels' with archives of shows

Ratings, man. That's it. No way around them. It sucks. But it's reality now.
For fuck's sake every one of the so called "news channels" are like 80% opinion and not factual news. How else do fucking nuts like Beck and Olbermann get shows?
And LeBron James got an hour plus long "special" to announce that he was signing with the Heat. WTF
Television is at an all-time low and I doubt it's going to get better any time soon.

I must thoroughly agree with you. They were advertizing the crap out of shark week so I was like cool....
Then I watch it and the only shit I've seen is shows about shark attacks... like 6 different times I've tried watching it and it's all shark attack bullshit.
Fucking bullshit, I want to learn more about how fucking cool sharks are... not listen to people's life-changing stories about having their leg eaten off by a fucking shark.

I'm hoping it will die.
Before I met my girlfriend I completely abolished it from my life. She's used to sleeping with it on, and I was for most of my life (actually, up until about half a year before I met her) so I sympathize and it's worked its way back into my daily routine but I'd still love nothing more than for it to fall into obscurity like Beta-Max and trepanning and shit.
TV was slightly cool for a short period of time in the 90s. Everything cool that comes out now I prefer to watch in hours-long blocks on my computer. It feels good to be witnessing what I hope is the death of TV

I give you permission on behalf of Shroomism. I saw so many stupid "ZOMG SHARK WEEK!!1" things on Facebook it was ridiculous. Assholes who never watched it or cared about it need to know this shit sucks.

Thanks.
And I never watched, but yeah, I have faith in what I heard about this show (this season) in here. Especially since I know that the History Channel is not good anymore.
