Torchwood: Miracle Day - Premieres July 8 at 10
p.m. (ET/PT) on STARZ
It all begins with a day when nobody dies. All across the
world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next,
and the next, people keep aging -- they get hurt and sick
-- but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight.
With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said
that in four month's time, the human race will cease to
be viable. But this can't be a natural occurrence - someone's
got to be behind it. It's a race against time as C.I.A.
agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The
answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As
Rex keeps asking "What is Torchwood?," he's drawn
into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it
means to be human, forever.

Dino Gangs - Premieres July 9 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT)
on Discovery Channel
For years, scientists concluded that Tyrannosaurs like
the T-Rex were solitary creatures because their skeletons
were found alone. Now, leading paleontologist Dr. Phil Currie
believes that Tyrannosaurs were cooperative pack animals
that hunted in terrifying gangs. This major new discovery,
and Dr. Currie’s radical theory, are the subject of the
new special. Currie’s theory is based on new evidence from
a remote corner of Mongolia, where paleontologists have
unearthed the remains of 90 Tarbosaurus dinosaurs – the
Chinese T-Rex -- in one region of the Gobi Desert. Dr. Currie
believes that many of them, found close together, were part
of a single social group.

prize: a head chef position at BLT Steak in New York City.
Ramsay’s culinary challenges will range from the cute and

are challenged to cook using different types of beer as
the basis for their recipes. The winning teams will get
to enjoy a private jet to Palm Springs, Indy-car racing,
a $20,000-per-night suite in Las Vegas or a four-story yacht

for a high school reunion, take delivery of and butcher
an entire side of beef, create ice sculptures and put together
an entire children’s playground for family night.
In the season premiere, Ramsay launches the competition
with the signature-dish challenge and is both impressed
and disappointed right from the start. Before the dinner
service can even begin, one contestant is rushed to the
hospital and things go downhill quickly from there until
one chef is eliminated from HELL’S KITCHEN.

John Pinette may not be starving, but he is still hungry
and his new special has no shortage of laughs. Between ragging
on arugula for being pretentious and waiting for the day
Martha Stewart builds a pyramid, Pinette keeps ‘em coming
and leaves the audience hungry for more. Viewers with a
hefty appetite for laughs are sure to be left satiated.
Filmed at the Vic Theater in Chicago, the comedian with
an appetite stays true to his reputation, discussing everything

day and age when there are Cold Stone Creameries next door
to Weight Watchers and three different TV shows with the
world “cake” in their titles. From arguing the stupidity
of a panini maker (“just use a frying pan!”), to explaining
why arugula is the “Emperor’s New Clothes” of food, Pinette
passionately expresses his frustrating infatuation with
food in this one-hour special.
