MOTHAFUCKIN' SHARK WEEK IS BACK! "They never set out to be television stars, any more than they sought Hollywood fame in those Steven Spielberg movies. But sharks remain among the most enduring (if unlikeliest) members of TV's A-list. Just consider Shark Week, the summer programming event on Discovery Channel since 1988. Once again, sharks are in the spotlight as Shark Week promotes respect and appreciation for these remarkable animals (with excitement also part of the mix). … This year's new fare includes tonight's 'Surviving Sharks,' in which Les Stroud, host of Discovery's 'Survivorman,' offers tips for water safety and tests popular theories for surviving shark encounters."

my son loves shark week…sweet :)
I. Love. sharkweek. :)
I love sharks! I'm going to have to watch it online. I actually wanted to become a marine biologist just so I could study them. However, you have to be really good in science and math and unfortunately, the left side of my brain is dead.
I think a great episode idea would be to take Bear Grylls, (you know, the guy who pees on himself to cool down right after he finishes a quarter mile swim under 55 degree water) roll him in dead seal meat, and have him go in the ocean on a shark fact finding mission.
"the left side of my brain is dead"
LMAO-so is mine, or I'd be studying geology to satify my facination with dinosaurs :)
As a surfer, this is the one week that I take off from hitting the ocean. It's just an invitation to get eaten during Shark Week.
i wasn't going to watch but for all this snakes on a bleepin bleepin plane type hysteria. maybe i'll check it out
I follow the gospel of Tracy Jordan: "Live every week like it's shark week."
I live for Shark Week. I never get enough.
ADORE SHARK WEEK. But I only have cunty channels here. I miss Thai hotels. Those "ladyboys" were funny, until they started grabbing you. But that would be after your stuffed with shitty garlic bread and whiskey, so it's easy to brush off.
I miss Thai hotels 'cause of the cable. Got a little sidetracked there…
did you really just say cunty channels?
She is repo'ing the word from a-holes and making it empowering.
Anyone see the Daily Show sketch about McCain calling his wife a cunt and changing his campaign slogan to "Change You C*nts Can Believe In"?
jon stewart is the only thing that makes sense in this crazy world.
oh, ok more power to her then!
jon stewart has never made sense to me… someone came on his show once and said that the #1 most damaging thing to any campaign is ridicule… essentially, by taking advantage of that to the fullest, he decided what's cool and what's not cool among thinkers with a sense of humor.
it's not about disagreeing with him - I rarely do - it's my envy of his power. damn him.
Jon Stewart and Steve Jobs own me. True stories.
Yeah, I use the words "cunt" and "pussy." I also use the word "dick." I don't think it's sexist.
I love me some shark week. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person with this addiction. I just get so excited and I don't even know why.
iln i just wasn't familiar with the phrase "cunty channels" — very innovative indeed.
We were watching Cash Cab and every question was about sharks? I asked my husband why, he says it's shark week duh! I didn't know….
fricken, how many questions can the general public answer about sharks! worst trivia show idea ever.
