It wouldn't be summer in America without the Discovery Channel's “Shark Week.”
It started last night and continues through August 3rd. You'll be able to get your fill of all things shark. In that time, more than 20 hours of original programming, which includes Shaq swimming with the ocean predators, will keep viewers glued to the screen.
In addition to all of the documentaries set to air, this year “Shark Week” is rolling out its first-ever original movie. “Capsized: Blood in the Water” stars Josh Duhamel, Tyler Blackburn and Beau Garrett.
The 31st year of the special week does have some critics doubling down on the fact that most of the programming is more “sensational” and not very science centered.
