I don't know if you've noticed, but it's Shark Week (should I be capitalizing this?). Everywhere I look, Shark Week. All people are talking about, friggen Shark Week. I didn't know people liked sharks so much. Do people actually get this excited about the week long program, or is it just a contagious sort of thing? The sort of thing where because everyone else thinks it's cool, that you should too? How many shows can one really watch about sharks? I guess I just have a lot of questions about this.
I've never been an avid follower of Shark Week, unlike many others. I may have caught a show here and there a few times, but I've never put my life on hold for a week to watch a bunch of shows about sharks. This is a peculiar thing to me. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for educational and entertaining programming, especially if it involves Mike Rowe without a shirt (hubba hubba); but what is so special about sharks that they get an entire week of programming dedicated to them? Is there going to be a Zebra Week? How about a Bear Week? I could watch those too. Maybe the Discovery Channel should expand the spotlight to some other well deserving animals. I'm sure they're all so jealous.
