Discovery Channel

If you are a longtime fan of Discovery’s Mythbusters show, you know that hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman like to blow stuff up. The show also advertises that it runs its tests under very controlled circumstances. However, a loose cannonball during filming on Tuesday ended up hitting a home in Dublin, CA.

This glorious week is what I wait for with almost more anticipation than Christmas.

It's Discovery Channel's Shark Week (cue in applause and whistles)! You know, that week where I spend each night on my couch alone watching stories about sharks who rip peoples arms off, and other stuff like that. Normal? Maybe not, but it's freakin' awesome.

My Mom always looks at me differently during Shark Week. She sees the mystified and wondrous look in my eye, and constantly questions my reasoning, her voice filled with contempt.

According to Variety, the Discovery Channel is going through some major changes, as television executive Eileen O'Neill has taken the reigns.

O’Neil was responsible for making TLC a force, with successful shows like Jon and Kate Plus 8. She’s been president and general manager of TLC since 2008. Now, Discovery announced on Wednesday that they are carrying out an executive restructuring, which resulted in O'Neill being named group president for Discovery and TLC, the flagship channels of Discovery Communications in the U.S.
