I’ve seen a few of the shows on SW....as I always do, hoping to at least get a little something out of it. I think it’s pretty sad that during a week dedicated to these magnificent creatures the most educational show I’ve seen thus far has been Myth Busters. The only conservation messaging I hear is the 15 second or so blip on finning once in a while.


While geared and over-hyped around the scare factors, I think does not convey the right messages...but only the messages need to drive viewership. However, I do have to admit that I really liked some of the "now you see it, now you don’t" cinematography in the surface shots of Sharkpocalypse. Of course, I’ve been keeping the shows away from the kids since they would take the wrong messages away from any of the shows.



Another missed opportunity by the Discovery Channel in the chase for viewership figures.
