TV's Off-Season

With most of our favorite evening shows in the "off-season", Olivia and I have been enjoying some different TV. Here are a few of our favorites:

Nascar Drivers: 360
This is season two of this incredible look behind the scenes of what NASCAR drivers do when they're not racing. It's really given us a greater appreciation for the drivers and it's neat to see another side of them. FX - 10pm Fridays (other times, too)


30 Days with Morgan Spurlock

You might rememeber that guy (Morgan Spurlock) from the recent documentary movie SuperSize Me. FX now has him doing a series of shorter documentaries about 30 days of doing other things. We watched the first show the other night where he and his fiance' lived for 30 days on only minimum wage jobs. It was really eye-opening and VERY interesting. FX - 10pm Wednesdays


Modern Marvels

This is a History Channel show that gives viewers a closer look at a variety of topics ranging from the building of famous bridges (Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel), how technical things work (Racetrack Tech), and other interesting topics like "Engineering Disasters", a series of shows dedicated to examining why events in the past have failed due to engineering failures. Very interesting. The History Channel - various times.


So there you have it. Those are just a couple shows we've gotten hooked on. Check em' out!
