STREET OUTLAWS: NO PREP KINGS (DISCOVERY)
· [series premiere] · 3/7/18 at 9:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · wednesdays from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM EST(from Discovery Channel's press release, January 2018) The nation's most thrilling and dangerous races are speeding into Discovery's Motor Wednesday lineup in the all-new series STREET OUTLAWS: NO PREP KINGS. Each week, Outlaws veteran "Chuck" will serve as race master in a new city and on a new "no prep" track, where 32 of the biggest names in no prep racing - including STREET OUTLAWS favorites, as well as newcomers - will duke it out to become the ultimate "no prep winner" and receive a $40,000 first place purse. With more than $320,000 up for grabs across eight episodes, the stakes are high and the risks are even higher, as local crowds flock to each race to see which all-star STREET OUTLAWS will show up, and who will win it all. A sneak peak of STREET OUTLAWS: NO PREP KINGS airs Tuesday, February 27 at 10pm ET/PT and all-new episodes continue on Wednesday, March 7 at 9pm ET/PT. In the world of street racing, "no prep" racing is one of the "baddest" and dirtiest challenges in the game. Unlike traditional street racing, no prep racers drive on tracks that have not been primed with traction compounds - which helps bond tire rubber to the concrete surface. The rules are simple, and it's every man for himself in each wild and dangerous race. STREET OUTLAWS: NO PREP KINGS summons all-star racers from all over the Outlaw family - including OKC's Ryan Martin, Chuck Seitsinger, Doc, Dominator and Reaper, along with New Orleans' Kye Kelley, Scott Taylor and Jerry Bird - and also features other no prep superstars, including Birdman, Swamp Thing and Megalodon. Each episode boasts a new matchup in a different U.S. city, where massive crowds gather to cheer on their favorite STREET OUTLAWS contender. The OKC crew will lay it all on the line and test their skills on these unfamiliar tracks - but can they protect their winning legacy? LIFE SENTENCE (THE CW)
· [series premiere] · 3/7/18 at 9:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · wednesdays from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM EST(from The CW's press release, May 2017) LIFE SENTENCE follows Stella (Lucy Hale), a girl who has spent the last eight years living like she was dying (because she was). Just like the "manic pixie dream girl" heroines in her favorite sappy cancer movies, Stella traveled the world, faced her darkest fears and found true love on a whirlwind trip to Paris. But when Stella finds out that her cancer has been cured, she is suddenly forced to face the long-term consequences of the "live in the moment" decisions she made, including marrying a total stranger. And if that's not enough, she also finds out that her "perfect family" isn't so perfect after all. Turns out, because she was dying, everyone in her life hid their problems from her. But, now that she's well, all bets are off. Stella is shocked to learn that her parents, Peter (Dylan Walsh) and Ida (Gillian Vigman), have fallen out of love, partly because Peter spent their retirement helping Stella make the most of her final days, and partly because Ida has fallen in love with her best friend (Stella's godmother), Poppy. Also, it turns out Stella may be responsible for the fact that her sister, Elizabeth (Brooke Lyons), gave up her own dreams to take care of Stella and start a family with her husband Diego (Carlos PenaVega), just to give her parents something positive to focus on. Then there's Stella's often overlooked brother, Aiden (Jayson Blair), who's pushing 30 and still lives above the garage, sells Adderall to soccer moms and uses Stella's cancer to guilt them into sleeping with him. And, of course, there's her husband Wes (Elliot Knight), a handsome Londoner who she agreed to spend the rest of her life with, thinking that would only be six to eight months, tops. Now that their forever just got a whole lot longer than they were expecting, Wes begins to worry that he can't continue to pretend to be her perfect husband for the rest of his life. With a real future suddenly in front of her, Stella's cinematic life snaps into reality, and instead of living like she's dying, she will have to learn to live like she's living, and help her family and friends do the same. This multi-generational, coming-of-age story proves that we all end up living somewhere between our dreams and reality... and maybe that's okay. LIFE SENTENCE stars Lucy Hale ("Pretty Little Liars"), Elliot Knight ("Once Upon A Time"), Dylan Walsh ("Nip/Tuck"), Gillian Vigman ("The Hangover"), Jayson Blair ("Whiplash"), Brooke Lyons ("The Affair") and Carlos PenaVega ("Big Time Rush").

Each episode of this self-contained competition series features five drivers in their personal customized trucks and jeeps going head to head in three challenges, each testing a different vehicle attribute: speed, strength and handling.

· [series premiere] · 3/18/18 at 8:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · sundays from 8:00 PM-11:00 PM EST(from Science Channel's press release, February 2018) Just south of San Francisco lies a region that has spawned not just new products but whole new industries, from vacuum tubes to radio, microchips to personal computers, mobile devices, apps and social media. Home to Apple and Facebook, Intel and Google, there is simply no other place on earth that can rival its remarkable record of innovation. A new Science Channel three-part documentary series will provide a comprehensive look at the century-and-a-half history of this fascinating place, and reveal how and why it became such a fertile ground for technological breakthroughs.. SILICON VALLEY: THE UNTOLD STORY premieres Sunday, March 19 at 8, 9 and 10 p.m. It is produced with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA is serving as the community and education outreach partner on the series. Silicon Valley has been often imitated but never duplicated. This new series encompasses a much broader story - one that is largely untold. It includes interviews with some of the Valley's most prominent innovators - including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak - who helped make the region what it is today, and the tech entrepreneurs - WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum among them - who are leading the Valley into the future. Koum, who grew up on food stamps and later sold WhatsApp to Facebook for $19 billion, says that "I could not have built WhatsApp outside of Silicon Valley - no chance." While Silicon Valley prides itself on disrupting old ways of doing things, it has largely failed to dismantle its barriers to women. Women have long been excluded from the valley's top jobs, even though they've been essential to its history. Kim Polese, a leading Silicon Valley entrepreneur and innovator, and currently chairman of CrowdSmart, and Heidi Roizen, a venture capitalist, corporate director and entrepreneur who co-founded the software company T/Maker, both relay stories about the challenges that women have faced in the Valley.

Makenzie Vega ("The Good Wife") also stars in this timeless tale about life, love and relationships. Caretta "Cara" Rutledge (Kelly) thought she'd left her Southern roots and troubled family far behind, but returns to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers after losing her job in Chicago. There, she reconnects with her mother Lovie (MacDowell), who has been caring for her young, pregnant friend Toy (Vega) in her charming beach house. Before long, the rhythms of the island open Cara's heart in wonderful ways as she becomes a bona fide "turtle lady" who conserves the area's wildlife, repairs the family beach house and renews a past romance with former love, Brett (Murray). Eventually, Lovie reveals a secret she has been keeping from Cara and the mother daughter pair does their best to keep it from putting a dark cloud over the precious time they have together. When a devastating storm hits, Cara will help Lovie save hundreds of sea turtles from certain death and learn some of life's real truths in the process: lasting love requires sacrifice, family is forever and mistakes of the past can be forgiven.
