Included are interviews with fans, including George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, Seth MacFarlane, and many *Star Trek* alums, as Rod discovers his father's work that helped define science fiction.

The film draws on hours of exclusive footage, including never-before-seen home movies from the Roddenberry family collection and the first-ever *Star Trek* convention, demonstrating that Roddenberry's work has not only inspired legions of fans across the globe, but generated a cultural movement. *Star Trek* is a phenomenon that goes beyond entertainment; it has influenced politics, space travel, social morality and much more.

Wa$ted! (American TV series)

***Wa$ted!*** is an American reality series hosted by Annabelle Gurwitch and Holter Graham and originating from a New Zealand series of the same name. It aired its first six episodes on TLC, after which it was moved to Planet Green. Those six episodes were then reordered with the four remaining in the first season causing some to confuse their airdate.

## Format

The show features the hosts giving a family or business an overview of their wasteful life and returning to them months worth of their own trash. They then have to sort through it and are shown all the hazardous, recyclable, and reusable items they have wasted. Next they examine the house and point out faults such as heating, aging machines, lights and televisions being on, automobiles, and water use among other things.

Based on all this, an ecological footprint is created to show how many acres it takes to sustain the household. The hosts then help the family or business implement greener alternatives and change their wasteful habits. They also promise to match the amount that they save in utilities and the like by projecting the totals forward for one year.

The family or business are incentivized with a challenge to adhere to simple earth-saving suggestions as strictly as possible for three weeks. Afterward, they are evaluated on how well they did, given a new footprint based on their new habits, and awarded a cash prize equal to their energy savings.

Untold Stories of the E.R.

***Untold Stories of the E.R.*** is a docudrama television series produced by GRB Entertainment. It aired on TLC from 2004 to 2018, Discovery Health Channel from 2005 to 2010, and Discovery Life from 2015 to 2017; it has since returned to TLC.

## Premise

The show follows real-life emergency department doctors who discuss their most bizarre and puzzling cases. These typically involve medical sabotage, patients acting violently or strangely, life-threatening injuries, or even situations in which the E.R. physician is too overwhelmed or unequipped to handle the caseload but cannot transfer responsibility for the patient(s) to someone else.

The show follows a format in which the real-life E.R. physician narrates through a series of "talking head" interviews, while their interactions with the patients are reenacted. The doctors often play themselves, and the patients themselves take part in the reenactment whenever possible. Additionally, the patients are sometimes shown in brief interviews to explain what happened during their ordeal. Occasionally, patients' names are changed, and actors play their roles. All cases are based on actual facts but may have the surrounding circumstances changed for the sake of dramatization. and not necessarily accurate from a clinical or technical standpoint.

Originally, the show's format consisted of one story per episode, but since 2010 has episodes covering three separate cases.

Wendy Idle of *The Guardian* wrote that the film is "gleefully exploitative in its approach, and as such, it is horribly entertaining." Peter Debruge of *Variety* called the film "super-disgusting" and "[un]fair to the animals in question, who would surely view this as a grisly, *Faces of Death*-style marathon of murder," writing that "rarely has a filmmaker more blatantly manipulated the material he has collected to game his audience."

## Controversy

*Trauma* proved very controversial during its run, as it did not downplay or sugarcoat the violent nature of the cases it presented, showing strong and graphic images of blood and gore, and the even the deaths of some patients, which were very rare on television at the time. It was also one of the first reality shows to deal with the issue of health care professionals and blood-borne disease exposure.

## Overview

In 1524, a horde of Incan gold known as the Treasure of the Trinity was stolen. For five hundred years, Jesuit priests, privateers such as Thomas Cavendish and mathematician Paul Thiry have all searched for this legendary bounty, but it has remained elusive. But a new theory has emerged about the treasure's possible location - a remote location home to thousands of deadly vipers. The series features a team of the world's top explorers who set out on a two-month journey to find this priceless treasure. Along the way, they will need to solve complex mathematical clues and puzzles protecting the treasure - the same ones that have thwarted countless others before them. But most of all, they will need nerves of steel as they brave one of the deadliest places in the world, where one carless step could not just cost everyone incredible riches, but ultimately their lives.

## Controversy

In 2018, Cork Graham, the team leader of Seasons 1 and 2, released the book *So You Want to be a "Reality" TV Star: Everything I Know About Sex, Drugs, Fraud, Rock and Roll, and Vipers as Team Leader of Discovery Channel's Treasure Quest: Snake Island*, in which he alleges that most of the episodes were heavily scripted and most discoveries were faked or planted, including the Season 2 climax. What was explained to be an Incan sun god mask valued at $250,000 was in fact a plastic model that was distressed to appear genuine. He also alleges to being physically assaulted by a co-star during filming, which led to him suing Discovery.

Strip the City

***Strip the City*** is a documentary science television series exploring the construction of major cities and geology lying beneath them. It was produced by Windfall Films and aired for two seasons on the Science Channel from February 5, 2013 to March 26, 2014.

## Content

The show uses computer-generated imagery to "strip" major cities layer by layer of their steel, concrete, buildings, roads, rivers, and bedrock to reveal the technology and infrastructure that allowed their creation and keeps them functioning. CGI also peels back the layers of buildings to show they were constructed, strips away oceans to reveal sunken cities, and cuts into rock to display the inner workings of volcanoes, subterranean rivers, underground volcanoes and cliffs, fault lines, and ancient catacombs and describe the impact on life in the cities above them.

Toddlers & Tiaras

***Toddlers & Tiaras***, or ***Another Toddlers & Tiaras***, is an American reality television series produced by Authentic Entertainment, following the personal lives of families of contestants in a child beauty pageant. The series aired for seven seasons on TLC from 2009 to 2016 before being cancelled.

The show, much like with other child pageants, proved to be highly controversial during its run, mainly for dressing children in a provocative manner. It later spawned several spin-offs: *Eden's World*, *Here Comes Honey Boo Boo*, *Cheer Perfection*, and *Little Miss Atlanta*.

## Episodes

Main article: *List of Toddlers & Tiaras episodes*

## Reception

*Toddlers & Tiaras* generated a negative response throughout its run. Many of the reactions were due to the costumes of some of the participants, which were viewed as provocative, the portrayal of the mothers, the onscreen treatment of the young girls who acted on the show, and for its disgusting, cringeworthy, and outright horrifying moments. It has since come to be recognized as one of the most hated reality shows.

In an August 2012 custody hearing surrounding a child on the show, a court-appointed psychologist said, "Children adorned with pageantry identities are not 'playing' or 'pretending'. Instead, they are trained to closely resemble their adult counterparts." One mother on the show was criticized for padding her daughter's chest to resemble Dolly Parton, and another was criticized for asking her daughter to smoke fake cigarettes on stage.

The overall controversy of the show led to a three-year hiatus, with the seventh and final season airing 2016. It was cancelled shortly afterwards.
The Planets and Beyond

***The Planets and Beyond*** (known as ***The Planets*** during its first season) is a documentary television series exploring the planets of the Solar System, exoplanets, and other astronomical objects. It was narrated by Erik Dellums and aired for two seasons on the Science Channel from August 22, 2017 to April 10, 2019.

## Format

The show is hosted by former astronaut Mike Massimino, who appears briefly to introduce each segment of each episode. During its first season, the show focused exclusively on planets, except for one episode which focused on the Moon. For its second season, it expanded its focus to include other types of astronomical objects. Specials were aired as well, some of them made up of original footage and others of segments from shows such as *How the Universe Works*, *Space's Deepest Secrets*, and *Strip the Cosmos*.

The Impossible Row

***The Impossible Row*** is a documentary starring Colin O'Brady and his crew as they become the first in history to journey through the Drake Passage, the most dangerous passage of water in the world. It was produced by Matador Group and aired on the Discovery Channel in spring 2020, while also being released on Discovery Go as a series of videos.

## Synopsis

The Drake Passage, located between the southern tip of South America and the edge of Antarctica, is considered one of the most terrifying and dangerous sea paths in the world. This notorious stretch of water is where the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern seas converge, causing unpredictable conditions and challenges for even the most seasoned Antarctic cruisers and cargo ships. World record holding explorer Colin O'Brady and his crew - Fiann Paul, Andrew Towne, John Petersen, Cameron Bellamy, and Jamie Douglas-Hamilton - will endure the iciest waters on Earth as they pursue what most consider impossible - crossing the treacherous Drake Passage by rowboat. The expedition will be a battle across the coldest, roughest waters on Earth with the crew facing freezing temperatures and towering swells, working twenty-four hours a day, rotating around the clock, with virtually no sleep while battling the perilous conditions. The mission will require courage, grit, and teamwork with multiple world record on the line.

## Journey

The journey through the Drake took twelve days and ended on December 25, 2019, with the crew reaching Antarctica. They were the first to accomplish three feats, including the first to row the Drake Passage, the first to row the Antarctic, and the first to row the South Ocean.
The Lost Women of NXIVM

***The Lost Women of NXIVM*** is a two-hour documentary special examining the now defunct NXIVM cult and its leader, Keith Raniere. It premiered on Investigation Discovery on December 8, 2019.

## Synopsis

The rise and fall of Keith Raniere and the now defunct NXIVM cult is one of the most disturbing scandals of our age. What began as a purported self-help group spiraled into a dark, secretive world of illicit sex, money laundering, and exploitation all at the hands of founder Keith Raniere and his accomplices. Former NXIVM publicist turned investigative journalist Frank Parlato, who first revealed the NXIVM was branding women, takes a deep dive to answer the questions surrounding the tragic deaths and mysterious disappearances of four women who all had connections to NXIVM and Raniere himself. With exclusive access to members of Raniere's former inner circle, some speaking for the first time and others who remain anonymous for their safety, Parlato leads an investigation that questions if there is more to this sadistic story.
