The allure of 'Shark Week' has always been lost on me

Somebody tell me what I'm missing and convince me to love it? :hi:

1. 10 times as many people die each year from falling coconuts than die in shark attacks.

Each year, more people are killed by donkeys than sharks.

I fear Discovery's "Donkey Week" and "Coconut Month" are probably already in the works.

2. You will only love it if "science" isn't your thing

but

action, Action and more ACTION!!!11!!

is ;)

I stopped looking at the Discovery Channel/Network a long time ago. There isn't much left that's interesting. It'd be great if they brought back the medical surgery show "The Operation" but that does require an intelligent audience...

3. I think that it's either genuine interest or fear.

It's the latter for me. I think that those shows about haunted houses succeed for the same reason.

And yes, I love shark week.
