It's overdone. I already know 99% of the shows and what is going to happen.

It was awesome back in the day, when they had a lot of new programming. Now its the same stuff all day (which Ive seen) and then new stuff at 9 and 10 each night. Ill probably tune into the new stuff, but I wont watch anything else like I used to.

But they only show 2 new shows a day!!! It was better when it was growing. Ive seen some of that stuff like 4 years running.

Nope I will watch the new shows but thats it. I agree with everyone else that Shark Week is overdone and played out for the most part.

I watched a show the other day(believe it was on the History channel), where they were searching for Greenland & Bull sharks in freshwater rivers. It was interesting. Like most have stated, it's pretty much the same thing every year now, and even the new shows tend to be on overdone topics.

Spoiler alert:

I love Shark Week.

Sharks are probably my favorite animal/fish/whatever. One of these days, I'll be in a cage down there with them...and there will be pee/feces at the same time. They are soooooo scary!

I can watch the same show over and over. Doesn't bother me. Especially if it was one about the air Jaws' in South Africa.

Watched a few shows today, with my 7 year old. He was fascinated with it.

Checked the guide on my tv and didn't see any shows about whale sharks. I was sure there was one or two last year but oh well. I didn't realize the only sharks people were worried about watching were the ones who attacked people.
