Shark Week 2003

With Shark Week 2003 starting tonight, I feel I have missed an opportunity. I should have bought commercial space, to advertise for my undersea campaign ;)

I put a link to Discovery's Shark Week 2003 pages
HERE (yes, that was sneaky, wasn't it?)

Anatomy of a Shark Bite
Sunday, Aug. 10, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Saturday, Aug. 16, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, 6 p.m. ET/PT
In 2002, shark behavioral scientist Erich Ritter was filming in the Bahamas with Discovery Channel when a bull shark bit his calf — a terrible accident caught on film from both above and below the water. Join us as we use other shark-attack footage and computer-generated imaging to explore how and why different breeds of sharks bite, and as Dr. Ritter watches and reflects on his nearly deadly encounter for the first time.

Diary of a Shark Man
Tuesday, Aug. 12, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, 3 p.m. ET/PT
He hand-feeds bull sharks, swims with makos, and even considers the dangerous lemon shark his good friend. Meet Floridian Manny Puig, aka "The Shark Man," a fearless adventurer who forgoes cages, armor and repellent when diving in order to study sharks in their own environment.

Robo Shark
Wednesday, Aug. 13, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, 5 p.m. ET/PT
A 6-foot-long animatronic shark featuring onboard cameras, Robo Shark is designed to blend in with real sharks and capture never-before-seen wild shark behavior. Don't miss its amazing resulting footage, including the bizarre deep-sea thresher shark in the Philippines; giant whale sharks feeding off the coast of Belize; and deadly hammerheads, great whites and bronze whaler sharks in South Africa.

Jaws of the Pacific
Thursday, Aug. 14, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, 2 p.m. ET/PT
The great white shark was once thought to prefer only coastal waters; today, new data collected by satellite transmitters attached to the sharks indicate this ultimate predator actually makes transoceanic crossings. Come with us as we follow for the first time the mysterious great white on its long migration across the Pacific, where it reaches depths of 2,000 feet and travels up to 43 miles a day.

Sharks Under Glass
Thursday, Aug. 14, 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, 11 a.m. ET/PT
Join supermodel Heidi Klum as she and naturalist Nigel Marven dive with Caribbean reef sharks in the Bahamas. Then watch as we examine work being done with sharks at aquariums across North America, including the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, Fla.; the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Md., the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, Calif., and and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans, La.

Shark Roulette
Friday, Aug. 15, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/PT
Sunday, Aug. 17, noon ET/PT
Bringing together the latest information from the International Shark Attack File, underwater filmmaker Mike deGruy counts down the world's top 10 shark-attack hot spots and assesses your chances of being attacked. Join us as we use state-of-the-art satellite tagging, sonic tags and aerial surveys to provide insight into where, when and why sharks congregate — and how to avoid playing "shark roulette."

Now, I have a question. I'm in England for Shark Week this year, and obviously can't and shouldn't be checking out TV when things like London and Stonehenge are there to be seen. Can one purchase the entirety of the Shark Week shows on video? I missed the last four years of Shark Week and I'm determined not to make it five!

If you click on "Shark Shopping", on the Shark Week page, it has "Anatomy of a Shark Bite" and "Jaws of the Pacific" listed as coming soon on VHS/DVD.

Alternately, purchase a Tivo and opt for the Home Media option. Then all you need is access to the web, to program your Tivo from afar.

(edit: added the Tivo info)

Shark Week is okay, I guess, if you like sharks.

For a gaming board like this one, what we really need is SHARK Week. Thoughts? :)
