JUMPED THE FONZ: On the occasion of Shark Week 2010, a friend noted that (a) there is a new shark documentary approximately every ten minutes and (b) each shark documentary mentions that we know very little about sharks meaning that (c) all of these shows are 100% rehashed and haven't contained an iota of new information in many years. That said, even with the cool new Expedition Great White, have shark documentaries -- has Shark Week in particular -- jumped the shark?

Based on my Facebook news feed, Shark Week is still very popular. I think people don't care that they aren't hearing anything new. They just want to see sharks.
ReplyDeleteI would say "no". Of course, my office building looks like this at the moment: http://www.washingtonlife.com/2010/07/16/fyidc-chomp-into-shark-week/

ReplyDeleteWhat she said.
ReplyDeleteSharks are awesome in the classical sense of the word. I'll get tired of Shark Week at about the same time I get tired of swimsuit models.
