TV Tonight: A Bucket Of Water In The Face

(TV Tonight, Wednesday, November 12th, 2008) Discovery comes through tonight with a wonderful lineup. We get slow-mo fun on two new Time Warps, a phraseological Mythbusters, and a waterslide simulator on Prototype This. We’re not sure what the heck a waterslide simulator is, whether it’s the physics or the experience that they’re simulating — but we’re not complaining!

All times are central.
