History Television has unveiled its slate of new shows for fall. Full Throttle is an example of the ever-permutating genres of TV shows these days. It combines history, reality and renovation, transforming classic cars to be ready for the drag strip but looking into the history of the models as well. The program airs Mondays at 8 p.m., beginning Sept. 5.
Beginning Sept. 6, Over There is an ensemble drama from Steven Bochco about an army unit sent to Iraq and the effects of their tour of duty on their families back home. The show airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
On Sept. 7, Digging for the Truth begins tracking explorer and survival expert Josh Bernstein as he takes a fresh look at ancient mysteries and remote corners of the world. Truth is out there Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
Heading into October, Things That Move examines how innovation and history have combined to create different modes of movement, from the toboggan to the elevator. Things get moving weekdays at 6 p.m., beginning Oct. 3.
Also preeming in October is the network premiere of JAG – specific airdates TBA. Another network debut is Band of Brothers, which will begin Nov. 3 and run Thursdays at 9 p.m. The 10-part mini-series originally aired on HBO.
And finally history takes to the skies with Bomber Boys, a group of adventurous young men who volunteer to re-live their grandfathers’ wartime experiences. The series will air as part of History’s annual ‘Week of Remembrance’ Nov. 7-11 at 8 p.m.
