Shark Week 2008

[SharkWeek08]

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

I set this thread with the help of conman1000 and CringE So let's get this party started. Oh, btw, you're going to love Shark Yourself!, once Discovery gets it up and running. I'll be updating you guys with info as it comes to me, so don't worry, you'll be in know when I know. If you want to check out the site: Google SHARK WEEK and it will be the first result. I didn't include any of the clickable text or images, due to the STOP SPAM LINKS Mod. Oh, well. Let's get going on this thread. Let's have fun. Wooo!!!!


||||HERE's THE LISTING ON ALL THE SHARK WEEK EVENTS||||


Shark Week 2008 Premieres

SUNDAY @ 9PM -- Mythbusters: Shark Special
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!?

[CENTER]MONDAY @ 9PM -- Surviving Sharks with Survivorman!
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 Coast
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. Crittercams and remote cameras give us great views and help us understand the largely secretive life of sharks.

Be a part of the research team, check out Shark Runners!

all you have to do is go to hawaii, cut your leg so it bleeds a lot, go about 300 feet from the shore..you'll bet all the sharky goodness you can handle lol

but another way...use the internet and search for shark vids or something lol, saves you the trip from going to hawaii

[LemonRising]

I can do internets..
but that would be too easy..


Hawaii, here I come! HAHAHAHAAHAHA
I hope I get the same amount of press/jokes as Steve did!

Yea definitely. I tend to forget to watch stuff on TV on Sundays. It tends to be my only "family" day. I just found "Shark Week: Ocean of Fear" It comes out July 22nd. Looks neat, I have to buy that. Have to. But if you don't have a DVR/TiVo or VHS or anything? Discovery does offer the 20th Anniversary Shark Week Box Set.

Let's just hope that Discovery decides to put the videos online after the original air dates. That would be neat, especially for those who don't get Discovery at all.

[conman1000]

I would watch it, but I'm going to the beach all of that week.

[Scott]

Am I the only one who's never watched this before?.

[Joshuah]

Meh! I hate shows like that, I like Comedy :-) And stuff like Family Guy :-)

[LemonRising]

There is plenty of comedy! >:U
Especially if they have the shark attack reenactments~

You go watch your uneducational family guy >:U
I will stick to my man eating sharks.
(I bought a kids book for sharks. I'm such a loserlol)

[SharkWeek08]

I noticed a lot of you who voted that you'll watch Shark Week if you remember. If you go to Shark Week's website and check the Episode Guide you'll notice that you can 'get a reminder' for any of the new premieres. We'll send you an e-mail the day of the show and (hopefully) you won't forget to catch it.

[SharkWeek08]

Hey, so what did everyone think about this years Shark Week? I think the MythBusters (http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html) episode was my personal favorite, especially when they blew up the air tank haha… I’m excited to see new episodes from those two – Wednesdays at 9 PM if you’re watching with me :) It looks like they’re going to be blowing up steak and pushing the limits of angry drivers this week, woohoo!

[Trunks]

The one I was most interested in was that boat that sunk and they were in the water for like a week. I forget the name of it.

[EpsilonX]

Aw, I love shark week! And I missed it =[.

[LemonRising]

I missed it... BUT
I bought the Shark Week Dvd.

HAHAHAHHA
I BEAT THE GAME.
