Feed the fat guy to the sharks

Once in a while, "MonsterQuest" apparently have to come up with a real monster, or else...

In this episode, "Jaws in Illinois", the search party goes after sharks with the chutzpah to show up in fresh or brackish water, something the aquatic ape known as Homo sapiens finds deeply questionable. Sharks, after all, are supposed to lurk at sea, or gild our shark-fin soup.

Bull sharks in Louisiana, Greenland Sharks in the St. Lawrence River and (perhaps) Great White Sharks in New Jersey are featured. However, only a couple of minutes are devoted to the mysterious shark captured in Illinois (sic) during the Great Depression or thereabouts.

The whole show looks promising, but gets progressively more boring as it drags on. Gee, why didn't they just use the fat guy as bait? There's enough meat on him to feed an entire sea-serpent!

Three stars, if you are a shark aficionado.
