And here's the rest of this week's television listings...
Saturday:
The National Geographic Channel is having a marathon of new episodes of a show called Garbage Moguls from 8 PM to 11 PM, which is certainly one alternative to going out on Saturday night.
Each week GeekTonic covers the TV scene with a complete listing of premieres, finales and specials for the week. As we slide through the end of summer there are still a few finales and some premieres to so check out the complete list below.
Saturday, August 21
Garbage Moguls (8pm on National Geographic – Available in HD) – New reality series that follows a quirky group of young “eco-capitalists” at TerraCycle, Inc. who take “trash” and recycle it into something useful. Yes this is a little geeky but should make for an interesting show for those that like to make stuff. I’m recording the first episode to check it out.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, AUGUST 21-22
'Garbage Moguls' – Back-to-back (to back) episodes follow the team at TerraCycle, a company that makes cool new products out of recycled garbage like CDs and potato chip bags (Sat., 8PM, NGC) series premiere
* HBO's "Temple Grandin" (Claire Danes) is out on DVD tomorrow; "Less Than Perfect: Season One" (Sara Rue) is out (on DVD) Sept. 7 . . . Airing Aug. 21: Nat Geo marathons "Garbage Moguls," which focuses on eco-friendly manufacturer TerraCycle (7-11 p.m.) while EPIX, which has launched an aggressive PR campaign (trust me), will air "Inferno: The Making of The Expendables" (10 p.m.), a behind-the-scenes look at Sly Stallone's new action movie, "The Expendables" (which opened last Friday to tepid reviews).
