The Kracken:With the philosophies that the show promotes, it's a sad thing that it's still in syndication.
Animal Planet is part of the Discovery Channel group. Discovery probably bought the show back when it was produced and the tapes have been sitting in the library for a bit. Some programming "god" saw them and said "sexy female, rough looking guy, heck we need to re-air this!!!!!"
Note: most TV programming people can not drink out of a cup without help from a normal person.
BTW, what is wrong with the female in the thong?? Don't all women go into open water dressed like that???

OKOK ladies I was joking.
