1988: The first ever Shark Week premiered in July 1988, with the first show to air being Caged in Fear.This changed on October 28, 2014, when Rich Ross became the new president of Discovery. Later in early 2015, he vowed to remove the so-called "docufiction", those fake and dramatized documentaries, from the future up-and-coming Shark Week lineups. The program and several others, such as Monster Hammerhead and Shark of Darkness: Wrath of the Submarine caused an uproar among viewers, since and science-loving communities alike, and a boycott of Discovery Channel was initiated as a result. Since that time, Discovery increasingly has come under fire for using junk science, pushing dubious theories, creating fake stories, and misleading scientists as to the nature of the documentary being produced. The 2013 season of Shark Week drew controversy with the airing of Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives, which is a "docufiction" program.
