If someone would have told me that when I reached my mid-twenties that I would be tuning my satellite TV, that I got after seeing these http://www.directstartv.com/direct-tv-business/bars_and_restaurants.html, into educational shows daily, I would have scoffed and walked away. Shows that considered themselves educational used to be bland, low budget setups that I was forced to watch back in school. Professors droning on and on about pyramids and castles could not be anymore boring. These are not the shows that are on today though.
Quite a few people have hyped up 'shark week' and I attempted to stay out of it for as long as possible. I finally decided to check it out in its third year to see what the buzz was all about and could not be more surprised. These action packed documentaries had the most thrills of nearly any show I have ever seen on TV. Watching fifteen ton sharks flying fifteen feet into the air in an attempt to catch prey had me hooked instantly. This eye-popping footage was only the start, there was shark-themed show after shark-themed show with shark behavior that was unbelievable. Educational shows are no longer the painfully dull programs that substitute teachers forced us to watch. I am now a proud fan of shark week and a handful of other phenomenal learning and educational shows.
