NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ULTIMATE EXPLORER: CAVE CROCS (http://natgeoexplorer.msnbc.com)
In "Cave Crocs," National Geographic Ultimate Explorer contributing correspondent Dr.
Brady Barr travels to Madagascar's Ankarana Nature Reserve to unravel the mystery of
these rare crocodiles. He is joined by Spanish biologist Gerardo Garcia Herrero,
cameraman Eric Cochran and local guide Angelin. Together they journey into an
underground labyrinth, where more than 60 miles of caves, passages and rivers twist
and turn below the park's plateau. No place for the faint-hearted, the caves are home
to blind fish, eels as thick as a man's thigh, bats, spiders and scorpions. Passages
veer off on all sides, and it would be all too easy to get lost in these depths
amongst the man-eaters.

MSNBC INVESTIGATES: EXTREME PLASTIC SURGERY (http://investigates.msnbc.com)
If just reading that last paragraph was more exercise than you care for... perhaps a
little nip and tuck is more your speed? In this program we've got the guy who dreams
of looking just like Drew Carey and the woman who hopes to be mistaken for Barbie. We
go inside the world of extreme plastic surgery, where people (lots of them) go under
the knife for four or five procedures at a time... some of them do it over and over
and over again-- with dramatic results. A look at the extremes that people are going
to in order to have what they think is the perfect body.
11PM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: DANGEROUS BEAUTY
If you want to be hot... in a hot place, like Miami... you've either got it... or
you've got a plastic surgeon! Some people will do anything, really ANYTHING, to look
younger, even if it means seriously risking their health. From botched surgeries to
unlicensed doctors, Florida state authorities battle illegal plastic surgery, while
victims go through painful surgery to correct what's been done to them. We'll take a
look at the lucrative and frightening underground plastic surgery industry.
12AM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: THE LAST CHANCE?
Bob Goldstein is obese. He takes a cabinet full of drugs each day just to survive. He
has heart troubles, high blood pressure, and diabetes. A walk down the driveway is
more than he can handle. He and his wife can't sleep in the same bed due to
complications stemming from Bob's weight. His wife and son both fear for his life and
he is completely disgusted with himself that he has allowed his weight to reach 365
pounds. The one drastic solution to Bob's problem consists of surgery. We will follow
Bob both before and after his surgery. We'll watch his interaction with his doctors
and his family during this very difficult time. The surgery is very difficult on Bob,
but 7 months later, he will lose an amazing 110 pounds! We'll see how this was
possible and the extremes some will go to win the battle of the bulge.
