Shark Week 2015 Full Schedule, Because There's Even A Show About Alien Sharks, Guys
Their slogan is absolutely correct, Discovery Channel's Shark Week is definitely "the most wonderful week of the year." From July 5th to July 12th, Discovery gives us night after night of incredible facts, footage, myths and real-life accounts about sharks and shark encounters. Whether you're a nature and animal mega-fan or not, the television event is awesome. And, the full Shark Week 2015 schedule looks to be just as badass as ever before. But, with even more hours of shark-tastic footage, which specials should you make sure to catch?
I've got your definitive ranking of the schedule from least to most interesting, so you can plan your week accordingly. But, to be fair, every program on Shark Week is pretty cool, and you're definitely in for a treat this year.

'Island of the Mega Shark' — Sunday, July 5 at 9 p.m. ET
Guadalupe, Mexico might house the largest great white and experts attempt to take a picture of it. Not the most exciting thing in the world, especially if they don’t find the largest great white.

Shark experts are on a mission to find out why sightings of sharks are increasing in Florida. We might have a real-life Jaws situation on our hands, so this program could be a good one to watch out of worry alone.

'Tiburones: Sharks of Cuba' — Tuesday, July 7 at 10 p.m. ET
The most remote habitat of sharks is in Cuba, and it’s also possible that the largest white shark lives there as well. Scientist and researchers investigate. Sounds pretty awesome to me. (Provided they find it, of course.)

'Super Predator' — Wednesday, July 8 at 9 p.m. ET
The quintessential Shark Week title. Filmmaker Dave Riggs goes into the kill zone in Australia to find a predator that supposedly ate a 9-foot great white shark. It’s sure to be quite the ride.
