CARFELLAS:
This
series
lifts
the
veil
on
the
used
car
business
through
the
eyes
of
reformed
convict
Mikey
D.
and
his
crew,
Tommie
and
Mario
of
Broadway
Motors
in
Amityville.
Mike
runs
the
lot
and
is
obsessed
with
moving
inventory.
Mario
knows
cars
inside
and
out
and
is
a
skilled
appraiser.
Tommie
is
the
muscle
of
the
operation
and
admits
his
love
for
Cadillacs,
cannolis
and
girls.
These
knock-around
guys
are
experienced
at
getting
money
out
of
people
--
but
this
time,
they
are
out
to
make
an
honest
living...selling
used
cars
Long
Island
style.
GUNSMOKE
(WT):
Step
inside
GUNSMOKE
(WT),
one
of
the
oldest
gun
shops
west
of
the
Mississippi,
where
a
third
generation
family
of
dynamic
gunsmiths
crafts
blocks
of
steel
into
beautiful,
but
deadly
works
of
art.
Leading
the
operation
is
Rich
Wyatt,
a
successful
business
owner,
loving
husband
and
devoted
father.
Though
a
master
firearms
trainer
and
former
police
officer
with
more
than
22
years
of
experience
in
law
enforcement,
Wyatt's
real
gift
lies
in
gunsmithing
and
his
shrewd
negotiation
skills,
which
have
led
his
Colorado
business
to
immense
success.
PENN
&
TELLER
TELL
A
LIE:
Show-stopping
iconoclasts
Penn
&
Teller
bring
their
unique
vision
of
the
world
to
Discovery
Channel
with
the
new
series
PENN
&
TELLER
TELL
A
LIE,
slated
to
launch
this
October.
Each
episode
will
feature
up
to
seven
outrageous,
hilarious
and
mind-blowing
stories,
told
through
a
series
of
visual
stunts,
like:
Is
it
true
that
a
head
of
hair
can
lift
a
5,000
pound
car?
Or,
can
you
blow
out
a
forest
fire
with
a
jet
engine?
However,
in
each
episode,
one
of
these
stories
will
be
a
fabrication
-
an
out
and
out
lie!
It
will
be
up
to
Discovery's
intrepid
home
audience
to
discover
the
untruths
aimed
at
them
through
an
exclusive,
real-time
interactive
companion
experience,
synched
to
the
show
and

November:
WEED
WARS:
See
the
now-legal
business
of
the
country's
leading
medicinal
cannabis
dispensary
from
the
inside
as
WEED
WARS
premieres
this
fall
on
Discovery
Channel.
Although
it
is
a
familiar
story:
a
start-
up
business,
demanding
clients
and
the
ever-looming
possibility
that
it
could
all
go
belly
up...
this
is
not
exactly
a
typical
business.
WEED
WARS
follows
Oakland's
Harborside
Health
Center,
the
nation's
largest
medicinal
cannabis
dispensary
serving
over
80,000
patients.
The
new
series
pulls
back
the
curtain
on
a
once
illegal
and
still
controversial
world.
In
addition
to
founder
and
executive
director
Steve
DeAngelo
and
his
staff,
WEED
WARS
follows
the
journey
of
the
plant
itself
from
seed
germination
to
harvesting.
Meet
the
growers
and
"patient
farmers"
whose
job
it
is
to
provide
the
"medicine"
-
the
buds
-
that
will
eventually
be
purchased
and
used
by
thousands
of
clients,
many
of
whom
feel
their
lives
have
been
forever
changed
by
the
plant.
From
the
earnest
and
knowledgeable
front
counter
staff
to
the
rigorous
lab
testing
of
the
cannabis
to
City
Hall
protests
and
the
constant
police
monitoring
and
security
sweeps,
WEED
WARS
offers
a
look
at
a
world
unlike
any
other.
