Discovery HD Theater gears up for Shark Weekend

We're pretty certain shark lovers (or HD aficionados in general) have been taking notice of Discovery HD Theater's Shark Week programming already, and just in case you thought the beasts would take some time off this weekend, you'd be sorely mistaken. As the 20th anniversary of "cable's longest-running programming event" continues, you'll see more close encounters and stunning underwater camera work, but on Saturday, August 4 and Sunday, August 5, Discovery HD Theater will premiere "Shark Weekend," which will showcase the five most amazing shark attack survival stories as well as take a look at a "countdown of shark species according to their skills and level of development." So if you're a little late to the scene, be sure and hit the read link for the full rundown of upcoming shark-infested programming.

Because why, there's an article about Shark Week? If so then you've apparently never watched it and I suggest you do so. Shark Week is one of the best weeks of the year for Discovery. They are full of fascinating shows about all different kinds of sharks, and having Shark Weekend on Discovery HD Theater will be really cool. I'm looking forward to it.
