Snaketacular on Discovery
So - opinions on the show that aired tonight? I found it interesting, and some of the points were very nicely presented, but overall I've seen Youtube collages that I thought were better. There was way too much dramatization and 'Freak Show' attitude, and way too little actual fact. I did like the discourse from the guest personalities about what people had done wrong, and what not to do.

From the 10 minutes I watched of it I didn't like it. The only part I like was the experts giving their opinions. I thought that the YouTube vids they showed hurt more than they helped. I mean they played a vid of a baby babbon squealing as it was being constricted by a large python. It even made me feel bad, a extreme snake lover, so it must have made the general public feel horrible. I don't know maybe it got better but after the first 10 mins I stopped watching.
Overall I feel that that hurt the reptile community more than it helped. Those are my thoughts I would love to hear what other people thought sorry for the rant but these things make me mad. I hope venom hunters is way better.

Does Discovery put there stuff online anywhere? Like Hulu? I don't have cable so I can't judge.

Eventually some of their shows end up on Netflix but usually a season or two after they air.
I don't have CATV or DISH either, and don't miss it.

And I agree with the ending. Snakes regurgitating, and then a snake being killed? This is what Discovery considers quality content?
