Tonight marks the beginning of Shark Week, when we all get to see sharks the way God intended: on our televisions.
Discovery starts things off at 9pm with a new show, Ultimate Air Jaws, full of scary great white sharks in South Africa that jump clear out of the water. One uplifting feature of this program is slowing down a shark's one-second assault to stretch out over an entire minute, for a really detailed look at the predator in action.
If you like that kind of thing, there's a repeat at 8pm of an oldie but a goodie, Air Jaws: The Sharks of South Africa. Same sort of stuff -- flying sharks leaping out of the water to snatch unsuspecting seals.
Then at 10pm, in Into the Shark Bite, the actual power of shark bite is documented (it's strong).

Shark Week
Sun, 08/01/2010 - 18:07 — brookecain (author)We write about Shark Week every year. We will be posting a special "highlight" every day, that's why there's no breakdown for the whole week. But thanks for all your advice.
Nice try Brooke

Maybe instead of describing the attacks -- a weeks lineup of various shows on Discovery concerning Shark Week would've been better received.
BTW: Ever watch Top Shot on History? A lot of guys do and this week they combine teams to individual competition. With 3 more episodes left it's really getting interesting.
