What went so fucking wrong?

>cable

Nothing

it's the biggest trainwreck since Jamie Kennedy's New Year's special. And TV needs hilarious failures to laugh at.
Every decade needs a few spectacular flops. Life would be a lot less fun without Opening Al Copone's Vaults, Cop Rock, and Viva Laughlin in it.

I was expecting a swimming pool with plexi glass down the middle and a well trained shark.

>>85419376
I was expecting two separate pools side by side with a separating barrier to make sure the shark doesn't jump over, and a well trained shark.

instead we got pure kino

>>85418904
I was expecting they would time a great white swimming that distance and then see how Phelps compared, but no, they just made up an arbitrary number for the shark at the end and made it close, when real great whites can much faster than Phelps ever could

This kind of reminds when they tried to make a documentary about Mermaids and everyone bitched because Discovery was acting like they were real.

>implying

I knew people in school whose entire lives revolved around marijuana use. You could literally tell in an instant whether they had any or not because they were never happy if they didn't have any.

Beyond that, there were plenty of kids who stole in order to buy it. If you have to resort to stealing to pay for something you're addicted, period.

Man those fucking cliches were the worst. Literally all they talked about to each other for 4 years was weed. Hey bro I tried this edible or Hey bro that strain was wicked. It was fucking depressing listening to them, they could not for the life of them form a conversation that wasn't about dope.

Do you not understand or consider the fact that high schoolers are boring and yet at the same time dramatic? They don't really have much to talk about, and they don't exactly enjoy themselves while sober (who the fuck does, honestly?) so the few times they smoke together become laughable memories.

I get what you're referring to, people who can't go a conversation about weed, but your judgment sounds flawed because you sound like nothing more than a passerby or somebody who coincidentally caught that particular conversation multiple times

He's utterly and truly fucked.

>>85419854
Honestly, given how much CGI has improved, this show could actually make a pretty decent reboot. It would also probably do well, as "VS" shit has been pretty popular lately.

>>85420260
I personally knew people who literally talked about it daily and it was pretty much the only thing that defined their personality and their lifestyle.

also, if you can't enjoy yourself while sober, you should probably just end your life because you will never be a well adjusted or normal human being. You shouldn't be relying on drugs to get you through life, that's what addiction is.

I find it amusing that this has the negative backlash it has gotten (at least on social media). Shark Week has been this ludicrous for years (they flat out made a fake doc claiming a prehistoric shark was still alive).

I think by trying to "hype" the event to attract normalfags, it backfired because the smaller group of people who put up with the ridiculous bullshit were now mixed with a larger crowd expecting the goods.

Anybody who expected anything other than a time trial is a fucking idiot. They obviously aren't going to put one of the greatest swimmers in the world in a pool or the ocean with a great white.

If anything it showed that, even with the best technology available and a world class swimmer, we still aren't as good as something designed for that environment.

Still though, the shark only beat him by two seconds.
