Discovery Channel will air a new series that combines myth-busting, science and technology. Beyond Tomorrow will air beginning Thursday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. The series looks at everything from a brain implant to stop Parkinson’s disease to a rocket-powered surfboard. For those seeking dirtier TV, there’s Dirty Jobs, a show that looks at the people behind such job titles as ‘road kill collector’ or ‘sewer inspector.’ Jolly fun. Dirty Jobs premieres Thursday, Jan. 5 at 10 p.m.
Not to be outdone, sister net Discovery Civilization will air eight-part series Mummy Autopsy beginning Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 8 p.m. The show looks at the cause of deaths of mummies for insight into their lives and worlds.
