Shark Week 2021 is the straw that broke my back and is a new low in the quality of programming provided to the People by Discovery channel which is following a spiraling trend to create absurd fictional exploitation of the most negative shark stereotypes in the pursuit of ratings and seeking to create the most unasked for “entertainment” in the form of comedy celebrity variety shows such as 2021’s Brad Paisley and Tiffany Haddish Shark Week specials and Jackass Sharkweek. This trend makes me wish for the fictional mockumentaries such as Megalodon or Voodoo Shark (although the found footage horror movie vibes are far superior in Submarine and Megalodon than the far inferior Voodoo Shark and it’s ilk). I let of some stress and walk through my criticism of shark week as a significant event in scientific entertainment and it’s ideals versus it’s modern incarnations and how to save it by addressing real world issues specifically the internationally illegal slaughter of sharks and those that fight to save sharks. The other two ways are the promotion of positive shark attributes and human shark relationships and the colorful and amazing biodiversity available to explore with experts from other than academic origins such as specialists from experience and authentically enthusiastic special guest hosts and experts. Thank you for listening. I also include a classic amazing episode of In Search Of with Leonard Nemoy called In Search of the Shark Worshipers.
