LUCKY DOG: REUNIONS

Animal trainer Brandon McMillan, the Emmy Award-winning host of the original Lucky Dog series, returns to the Lucky Dog Ranch, where he’ll revisit some of the most heartwarming and illuminating rescue stories from his eight years as host. He’ll “watch along” with the audience as he relives his experiences rescuing and training shelter dogs and pairing them with a forever family with a need in their own lives.

At the end of each episode, Brandon will reunite with the family to find out how the addition of a cuddly canine has made a lasting impact on each member. Lucky Dog: Reunions teaches valuable life lessons like taking responsibility, creating good habits and developing a sense of appreciation for life and animals. Each episode celebrates second chances – for both pets and people – as the dogs are rescued from euthanasia, trained and placed within a loving home. Along the way, viewers learn valuable pet training techniques as well as the history of each breed – and how to use that lineage to set each dog on the path to success.

LUCKY DOG: DOWN UNDER

Brandon McMillian hosts this new series based on the hit international format The Dog House Australia. The show captures the heartwarming stories of Australian shelter dogs as they transition from rescue and rehabilitation to cherished members of loving families. Whether it’s a scrappy terrier, an energetic kelpie, or a partially deaf cattle dog, audiences will discover that second chances can transform lives on both ends of the leash.

MISSION UNSTOPPABLE

Each week on the Emmy Award-nominated Mission Unstoppable, celebrity host Miranda Cosgrove highlights the fascinating female innovators who are on the cutting edge of science – including zoologists, engineers, astronauts, codebreakers and oceanographers. Viewers will be inspired by female STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) superstars in the fields of social media, entertainment, animals, design and the internet – all categories key to the teen experience.

Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis serves as executive producer, bringing her passion for creating strong female characters that positively influence young viewers. Cosgrove also serves as an executive producer.

THE VISIONEERS WITH ZAY HARDING

Hosted by international explorer and longtime adventure host Zay Harding, this series takes viewers around the world as it presents the remarkable scientists, engineers, and everyday people who are creating environmental solutions. This season, the series will expand its coverage of innovations throughout America, traveling to a dozen U.S. states, as well as international destinations including Portugal, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.

In California, one of Hollywood’s pioneers of sustainability, Ed Begley Jr., showcases his award-winning green home and his pet-friendly sustainability initiative. Viewers will also see the world’s first-ever floating eco park built right in the middle of the Chicago River. In Jamaica, the non-profit organization The Ocean Cleanup shows how it is ridding our waters of plastic one country at a time.

THE HENRY FORD’S INNOVATION NATION

The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation, hosted by Mo Rocca (award-winning correspondent for CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING), features the celebration of the inventor’s spirit – from historic scientific pioneers throughout past centuries to the forward-looking visionaries of today. Each episode tells the dramatic stories behind the world’s greatest inventions, and the perseverance, passion, and price required to bring them to life. The program includes segments focusing on “what if it never happened” and “the innovation by accident,” and has a strong focus on “junior geniuses” who are changing the face of technology.
