For those who want spend a time to relax and somewhat laugh, here is the famous mockumentary about megalodon by Discovery Channel. I think everythng has been said by the critic about it, there was the potential, just looking at the budget, to make a great doc but they've made that scifi wannabe fiction. The main problem being that it was aired during Shark Week which is normally a science programm. All the characters are played by actors, some facts are wrong or exagerrated, at one time, megalodon is described as 50 tonnes shark, then they talk about 100 feet and 80 tonnes. WTF, where did they get these figures, from 60 years old sources ? The pygmy right whale is NOT a prehistoric whale.... The only good points being the few interventions of Dr. Stephen Godfrey and Dr. Bretton Kent. www.divxstage.eu/video/e1ce953db450c

Sometimes I wonder if there's any hope for Discovery Channel to gain credibility.
First Animal Face-Off, then Clash of the Dinosaurs, and then now this.

I can't watch it, after a few seconds it stops for a moment, it would probably take several hours for me to watch it. Anyway, I'm thinking of creating a countdown about the ten worst documentaries, looks like there is some food for me.
@brolyeuphyfusion, Almost all greater channels produce a lot of crap, not just Discovery Channel.

Horrible production for Shark Week, and only a year after the Discovery aired Sharkzilla, a well made Meg documentary featuring Chuck Ciampaglio.
