Excellent Gift Idea for Teens,
This review is from: Shark Week: 20th Anniversary (DVD)
This Collection was purchased as a gift for a teenager in the family. It was a very special request. It has been very well received and has been completely viewed more than once already. In a brief conversation on this gift I was advised that there was also considerable educational value to the material portrayed and provided an interesting and valuable insight into the "Shark World".

Some overlapping info, but a nice compilation,
By Melani "real-world escapist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shark Week: 20th Anniversary (DVD)
I pre-ordered this dvd and the day it arrived I popped it in the player. The packaging is very nice w/ a cool 3D Jaws pic on the front. 4 discs: 1 and 3 have 3 shows, 2 and 4 have 4 shows each. With the exception of Anatomy of a Bite (90min), most avg around 45 minutes. The shows range from Shark Bite survivors to Air Jaws & Air Jaws II. $19.99 is a fair price for 14 episodes and I did learn a lot. They seem to dwell quite a bit on the Great White, so footage of the leaping sharks in So. Africa can get a bit repetitive. Also Erich Ricter, the scientist whose bite from a bull shark was highlighted in Anatomy of a Bite, makes quite a few appearances throughout the episodes. You'd think that after 20 years of Shark Week, Discovery would include 14 very different episodes in this compliation. I'm a huge Shark Week fan and never miss a year so that's why this dvd was a MUST-OWN, but I do wish it had maybe 6 more episodes and they could have focused on other sharks like the Mako or Tiger vs. focusing quite a bit on the Great White and Bull Shark.. If you like owning Nature DVDs, and perhaps aren't going to record this year's Shark Week episodes, this is a good deal. Just be prepared to watch the majority of the time about Whale, Bull, and Great White Sharks..

Too much sensationalism, not enough substance.,
By A. O. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shark Week: 20th Anniversary (DVD)
This set contains some truly fantastic footage of sharks, especially great whites, but is sadly lacking in its quantity of real science on sharks. Virtually nothing is covered on shark biology, physiology, number of species, ranges, habits, etc. Including such information so that the series took the viewers to school and truly educated us about sharks---in addition to the sensational shots of attacks on humans and other prey---would have served the viewer and the sharks much better. Particularly bad was the episode with the mechanical sharks and supposed the attempt to "study" the dynamics of a shark bite. It was really more of a tribute to modern FX than anything else. Over all this set is entertaining with its photographic footage of sharks but otherwise disappointing in its lack of substance.

Our 7-year old son is thrilled,
By J. Koeplinger "JK" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shark Week: 20th Anniversary (DVD)
Hi - our 7 year old son is absolutely thrilled by this video. He could watch all 8 or so hours without stopping. When we recently went to an aquarium, he pointed out different shark types to me and how they're different, when they hunt, etc. After reading the small information board, it all matched. So it's certainly a great show for every kid interested in sharks!
