There was science involved...? In the mermaid thing...?!?! TBH I can't watch most of those channels anymore (not the least of which is cause I don't have cable ) but when people come to me and say "AP or Discovery said this about this" and it's something totally not right....
Which is exactly the reason that Brian Barczyk, our own JLC, and others are in Africa right this very moment - to take a step towards bringing back the actually educational wildlife shows!
