I should have had second thoughts about their latest :discovery" show about the megladon.
Sure, they were successful with their shows about the giant squid, but they dropped the ball after airing that "mermaid body discory" disaster.

They had a 2 hour show that did nothing but remind me why I hate "made-for-tv" mockumentaries. If there were any doubts about the existence of these giant sharks, this show set that research back a decade (if not more)!

Imagine that at the culmination of the 2 hour BS-fest, when the "creature" FINALLY makes its appearance, that the ship and crew ALL experience system failures AT THE SAME TIME?

Either Animal Planet hired the stupidest people on the planet to film this mockup, or they hired some schlep from the SYFY channel to head their "special effects" dept.

All I could think of after this abomination was done was "This is how TLC started their suicidal drop to the "honey boo-boo" level of intelligence.

It was a direct slap in the face to the Discovery Channel and their continued success during "Shark Week".
