From its inception in the late 1980s, the Discovery Channel documentary series Shark Week aired in an unusual manner. In lieu of running over the course of a year (per a standard television season), each season would air over the course of a single week each year, hence the title. The material itself offered up an annual series of documentary films that all asked key and disturbing questions about the predatory behavior of sharks toward humans, both by providing intriguing factual reportage about sharks and ushering in terrifying chronicles of shark attacks, relayed in vivid and blood-curdling detail. This particular package presents Season Nine of Shark Week (subtitled "Jaws of Steel") full and complete as it originally aired from August 2 -9, 2009, hosted by Les Stroud (Survivorman). Les turns up, here, with on-camera visits to five of the most shark-infested bodies of water on the planet, and ex-marine Charles Ingram interrogates ichthyologists with some of the most commonly-asked questions about Selachimorpha. Episodes featured here include "Deadly Waters," "Day of the Shark," "Sharkbite Summer," "Great White Appetite," and more, plus two bonus segments, "Sharks Under Glass" and "Cash Cab: Deadliest Catch Captains."
