‘Megalodon’ on a ‘science-based’ network? Really?

Kickoff to Shark Week “drew a heated response online from viewers who said airing a ‘mockumentary’ compromises the network's reputation.”

We are talking about the Discovery Channel, right? The network that has “Surviving Naked in Panama,” “Gold Rush South America,” “Saint Hoods,” “Jungle Gold,” “Treehouse Masters”?

Oh, and the very, very scientific “Amish Mafia.” And the equally scientific “Moonshiners.”

And how about “Porter Ridge” – “In the premiere episode of Porter Ridge we meet Terry and the gang as they take on a repo mission confronting their rivals, the Dog Killer Ridge boys.”

Nothing dramatized or (ahem) fabricated in those programs, huh. Nope. Dedicated to science and discovery.
