Episodes
Don't Sleep!
Everyone risks a headache in a brain freeze challenge before trying to quickly thread needles and break balloons filled with cash.
Hard to Crack
Group chanting keeps morale high till contestants start smashing eggs and playing with nails. One shows off his front splits; another, his air squats.
Million Dollar Pose
When players try to identify animal noises, hallucinations kick in. They recover their wits long enough for a tricky coordination challenge.
Straight-Up Tired
Exhaustion claims two early victims. The rest test their reflexes with screwdrivers and water glasses while host James Davis giggles on the sidelines.
You Snooze, You Lose
Contestants get jiggy and show off their moves. A staring contest preps them for an alarm-clock-smacking challenge -- on a bed, of course.
The Big Cheese
Sleepy antics hit a high note when players must scream for their money. Still hoarse, they confront rattraps and bravely go for the cheese.
Never Trust a Southern Belle
After 24 hours of counting quarters, players test their coordination by diving for sand dollars, balancing coins and snapping lightning-fast selfies.
Final Shot at a Million Dollars
Contestants totter through a maze while balancing eggs on poles. What could go wrong? Also on the menu: table games with cards and quarters.

Buried in the Backyard
Buried in the Backyard examines true-crime stories of victims found buried in the most unsuspecting of places. While most people enjoy their backyard as a safe haven, others are not so lucky when they discover the horrors lurking beneath well-trimmed hedges and manicured fences. Uncovering the remains is only the beginning, however, as each hour-long episode follows a unique police investigation to identify the body, determine a cause of death and find the person responsible. Captivating recreations, along with first-hand accounts from those closest to the victims and law enforcement agents involved in the case, bring each shocking tale to life. As investigators dig into the "how" and "why" surrounding each crime, viewers are taken on an unpredictable journey and reminded that this could happen to anyone - in any home, in any neighborhood.
Drain the Oceans
Maritime mysteries -- old and new -- come to life in this 10-episode series, combining scientific data and digital re-creations to reveal shipwrecks, treasures, and sunken cities on the bottom of lakes, seas, and oceans around the world. Innovative technology allows viewers to see what lies on the floors of large bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Nile, the Indian Ocean, the Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean as if they had been drained. Then, in a quest to explain natural wonders and man-made catastrophes, stories tell of how vessels sank, what ancient geological formations reveal about life on Earth, where Nazi secrets now reside, and why so many continue to search for the legendary city of Atlantis.
Pull the plug on the ocean to reveal hidden secrets and lost worlds. Using groundbreaking technology, breathtaking photography, and insights from top marine archaeologists, Drain the Oceans delivers penetrating new insights into the epic history of human civilization and the deepsea world, exposing sunken cities, shipwrecks, and amazing natural wonders of the deep.
Good Omens
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...
