Time to rediscover Shark Week
Don’t miss
Shark Week: It’s time once again to sink our teeth into television’s longest-running summer event. Now in its 28th year, this fin-tastic celebration of the mysterious creatures of the deep will feature 19 hours of original programming – the most ever. It all kicks off with “Shark Trek,” a documentary that follows a marine biologist as he tags great whites off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts and attempts to determine their swim patterns. 8 p.m. Sunday, Discovery Channel.
