    It's that time of year again -- Shark Week is about to begin. Starting on July 27th (that's tomorrow), the 21st annual Shark Week kicks off tomorrow, with a Mythbusters special on the subject airing at 9:00PM ET / PT. 24 hours later, you'll be treated to Surviving Sharks, while the next day brings Day of the Shark. Those smelling blood can hit up the read link and swim on over to the programming guide, but be prepared to sacrifice more than a few hours (or a decent chunk of storage on your HD DVR) this week to satisfy your cravings.

    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.[Via 1080eyes]
