Shark Week Primetime Schedule and Ratings

The Following is the Shark Week Prime Time Schedule. New programming is in bold. Each show has Operation Shutdown's Shark Rating with it.

Shark Rating Scale:
Bull Shark: The most awesome of all sharks. This is a can't miss. Watch it live and Tivo it to watch it again. The highest rating.
Tiger Shark: Just a step below the Bull Shark in terms of awesomeness. Still a can't miss.
Oceanic White Tip: Still kind of awesome but a bit underrated. Would certainly Tivo if you can't watch it live.
Lemon Shark: Effective, yet not terrifying. Has it's moments, but may ultimately leave you wanting a little more.
Nurse Shark:
Fucking weak. Of course, none of these will have this ratings. Nurse shark's don't deserve any shark week pub.
