100 Days to Succeed

What happens when you put two vlogging, fashion-forward rookies, in a school of awesome nerds? Chaos.

Best friends Esihle and Rhandzu make video blogs for their online style channel.

Upon reaching 10,000 subscribers they are invited to attend a prestigious business and innovation school for talented scholars.

Together with new friend Karam, the girls embark on a series of comedic adventures in the hope of becoming successful entrepreneurs.

The series features Bontle Langa who plays Esihle Tsengiwe, the 14-year-old self-proclaimed "fashion guru" with zero business acumen.

Esihle believes the best in everything, except herself. She's learning!

Zuri Betela plays bestie Rhandzu Shirindza.

She's the only reason that Esihle hasn't launched glitter bombs on unsuspecting teachers, to improve their style.

She keeps her grounded. She's mischievous and doesn't know it. She's tough and ever ready to show it.

Sandile Kamle plays Dr. E Tsengiwe, Esihle's father - a parent trapped in the body of "the biggest fan".

By day he is the working-from-home engineer and widowed parent, by night he is Esihle and Rhandzu's biggest fan, liking and subscribing to everything they post.

Zakir Roach plays Karam Padayachee, the hottie with a brain who unknowingly has every girl at school unfocused.

And Danielle Cagnetta plays Ms. Nelson, a tough boss who puts everyone in their place. She's a disciplinarian who takes her job very seriously.

Besides, she is single-handedly churning out South Africa's next generation of leaders.

How We Roll

Based on the life story of professional bowler Tom Smallwood, the series stars Pete Holmes as Tom, a stoic Midwest husband and dad who gets laid off from a car assembly line and makes the extraordinary decision to provide for his family by following his dream of becoming a professional bowler.

As a skilled player, Tom knows that in bowling you get two chances: no matter what you do with the first ball, you get another one to make it right - the ultimate second chance.

Keeping that in mind, he begins his new career with the loving "OK" from his wife, Jen (Katie Lowes); the unfaltering support of Archie (Chi McBride), his mentor and the proud owner of Archie's Lanes: Home of the Curly Fry; the cautious backing of his protective mom, Helen (Julie White); and the encouragement of his son, Sam (Mason Wells).

It remains to be seen if Tom will strike it big on the pro bowler circuit, but right now, the pins are set, he's taking his second shot, and it's 300 or bust.

The Proof is Out There 3

The Proof is Out There investigates the world's most mysterious videos, photos and audio recordings, and uses the best technology and experts to render a credible verdict.

Each episode analyzes and passes verdicts on several seemingly impossible things "caught on film", including giant beasts, UFOS, apocalyptic sounds, hairy humans, alleged mutants from the deep, conspiracies and many other cases.

Host and veteran journalist Tony Harris takes nothing for granted in a quest for answers, tracking down eyewitnesses, putting each photo or film through a battery of tests, calling out the hoaxes, and highlighting the most credible evidence in an attempt to better understand our world.

In the Season 3 premiere, "Rubber Duck UFO And Grim Reaper Ice Sculpture": Is a government-leaked video of a UFO shaped like a rubber duck the real deal?

How is a man in India able to dip his hands in boiling oil and feel no pain?

Is the overnight appearance of the Grim Reaper sculpted in ice a deadly omen?

And meet the man who claims to have killed Big Foot.

Tony Harris and his team of experts examine the clues and make a determination about the validity of what we're seeing.
 

The Great Food Truck Race 4

Genre: Reality Competition, Food

The Great Food Truck Race 4

The Great Food Truck Race kicks off Season 4 with a new cast of food truck hopefuls, who hit the road for the longest route in series history (4,181 miles) and exciting culinary challenges that celebrate the country's national landmarks from the Hollywood sign to South Dakota's Crazy Horse Memorial to Chicago's iconic Buckingham Fountain to the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.

These competitors are not current food truck operators - they are eight teams of talented cooks with unique concepts and a dream to one day operate their own food truck business.

Each three-person team is provided a vehicle for the race, but only the grand-prize winner gets to keep their food truck and a $50,000 cash prize to start their business.

In the Season 4 premiere, "I Left My Food Cart in San Francisco": Host Tyler Florence greets the eight teams in Los Angeles under the iconic Hollywood sign, and each team sees their custom-made truck for the first time.

For their first challenge, he sends them to posh Beverly Hills for a contest in upscale sales: each team can only sell one signature dish on their menu - but that dish must be sold for at least $20 each.

Tyler and the teams then head 380 miles north to San Francisco, where the trucks must pick a different signature dish to sell exclusively.

The team that earns the least amount with their two signature dishes is sent home.

The route then sends the trucks to Portland, Pocatello, Idaho; Rapid City, South Dakota; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Chicago, featuring guest stars Mayor Rahm Emanuel and legendary football coach Mike Ditka; and Washington D.C., where the life-changing grand prize is awarded in the season finale.

In the second episode of the weekday double bill, "A Strange Brew in Portland": The seven remaining teams head to Portland, Oregon, where they're challenged to make the most with what they've got.

In their first Speed Bump, they have to go the entire first day without restocking their supplies.

On day two, they're given geoduck, which must be the main ingredient in all menu items.

After selling $200 with their geoduck menus, they race to a local lumber mill, for a chance to win a reward, which might be enough to save them from this week's elimination.

Melinda Hill: Inappropriate

Melinda Hill uses laughter as medicine in this part comedy special, part compassionate conversation about moving from trauma bonding to trauma mending.

Imparting insights and crushing confessions punctuated by punchlines in a soul-baring storytelling style, she reflects on inequality, sexuality and mental illness.

Poignant, culturally relevant and heal-arious.
