Discovery Channel’s “Under Siege” chronicles protection of U.S. northern border

March 6, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Much of the thought and talk about the protection of America’s borders regarding undocumented immigration, smuggling, terrorism, and other criminal activity seems to be related to the southern border, but plenty of action also takes place on the northern border, both in terms of criminals attempting to get across the border, and in agents attempting to stop them. Discovery Channel‘s Under Siege: America’s Northern Border, premiering March 13 at 8pm ET/PT, takes a look at this explosive territory. Under Siege goes undercover with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents as they patrol the large and challenging northern U.S. border. Some […]

March 5, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Updated March 29, 2013, 12:19pm CT Because there aren’t enough shows about Sasquatch and other mysterious creatures on TV, Destination America will be premiering its new entry into the genre called Monsters and Mysteries in America starting March 24 at 10pm ET/PT, and airing Sundays.

The format of Monsters and Mysteries in America is interesting, with each episode taking […]
