    I think it was a great idea for them to have Mike not only host shark week but put it into Dirty Jobs. My daughter just loved this episode and the next because she loves animals and she got to learn more about sharks that wasn't to much above her head. It gives kids a great realistic fun learn time. Of course Mike being himself makes it funny too. Granted the dirtiest job was the disection of the shark, but I like Mike's face when he was making the shark bait. Priceless! I hope they bring Mike back next year for shark week, I know I will watch it if they do.moreless
