Discovery Channel Is Shark Channel For A Whole Week

Discovery Channel found the perfect way to entertain its audience for a whole Shark Week. The cable network starts its 21st annual programming dedicated to the aquatic creatures on Sunday with “Mythbusters: Shark Special” (9 p.m.), one of six fresh shows that will surely lure TV viewers. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman will scrutinize once again traditional urban tales about sharks and even build a robo-shark with a length of 16 feet.

Other premiere specials include “Surviving Sharks”, due to run on Monday at 9 p.m., which features “Survivorman” Les Stroud, who instructs those interested how to prevent any marine danger and how to act if a shark attacks.

“Day of the Shark” (Monday, 10 p.m.), is a program which presents the opinions of specialists concerning the best time of the day to avoid sharks or encounter them. In “Dirty Jobs: Shark Special” (Tuesday, 9 p.m.), the host Mike Rowe takes a trip to the Arctic Circle in search of the legendary Greenland shark. The show will be followed at 10 p.m by.

“How Not to Become Shark Bait”, a program which presents a team of adventurous people who go to the Bahamas in order to verify several methods to attract sharks or to avoid the marine creatures.

On Thursday, at 9.p.m., the two-hour show “Mysteries of the Shark Coast” will acquaint viewers with the inquiries of a team of scientists in their attempts to discover why sharks are disappearing from Australia’s northeastern coastline.

Discovery Channel has prepared a compelling Shark Week for its audience and even though your agenda does not allow you to spend all day in front of the TV, you should tune in at least for the most important programs of the evening. Shark Week runs from Sunday through Friday and on August 2 a shark marathon will be broadcast by the cable network.
