The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute research in the Gulf of California that was shown was real enough. However, I wholeheartedly agree that putting bullshit on television and attempting to deceive viewers that it is real is morally bankrupt.
It's all about ratings. Discovery used to be good and on occasion it is still good but it's all just pandering to the lowest common denominator. The Kardashians have taken over and reduced everybody's IQ to the level of soup. :frusty:
I've taken to calling the History Channel and H2 "Tinfoil hat TV."
I also remember seeing a documentary about Megalodon and one scientist said that even if it was still alive today and living in the deep sea, it's evolved into something else and isn't Megalodon any more. And the whole thing about finding Meg teeth that were only 10,000 years old has been thoroughly debunked.

History (the channel) is trash because that's what people want. How many people here read actual history books?
That said, they had a show on tonight digging up WWII artifacts.

The hyperbole over megalodon has to stop, it's no longer of this planet.
The cetaceans it fed upon got to smart for it. They moved to the polar regions in summer where megalodon could not regulate its body temperature. Its fate was sealed when the Americas connected, it could no longer the whale breeding grounds in the Caribbean. Also a lone predator, no matter how formidable, would not have stood a chance against a pod of Orcas.

I am pretty sure right at the beginning of the show there was a disclaimer that said the show was not real. The disclaimer does not state this but it was a show done to draw attention to shark week same as the ad that showed a shark in Lake Ontario. The ad wasn't real either it was done to promote the week. However the other shows they are running as far as I know are real (Hammer Heads, Odd Sharks of the Deep etc.)
