Like many viewers, I’m often disappointed by what I see on TV. And it seems Mike Rowe has similar feelings, particularly when it comes to what “reality tv” actually is.
Take a gander at his blog for what I would have to say is one of the best posts I’ve read in a long, long time on the subject.
Here’s a snippet:
Last year, twice as many people died from Ostriches as Sharks. And yet, most people believe Sharks are more dangerous than Ostriches. Ocean of Fear was a true story. But did showing that “truth” ultimately perpetuate a misconception about sharks? If so, does that make Shark Week less non-fictional and more Reality? More Documentary? Beats me. I’m just waiting for Ostrich Week.
Discovery, so when are we getting Ostrich Week? 
Let’s hope Mike wears a cup when he goes toe to toe with those bizarre, dangerous creatures.
