Overhaulin' 4Premiere date: Monday, 14 July 2008 at 17h30.
The makeover show for car enthusiasts returns for a fourth season, with Chip Foose leading the charge to create hot, custom-built cars from old clunkers.
The Overhaulin' team perform ultra high-speed custom makeovers, with the stealthy cooperation from friends and family to separate the car from the owner. Chip is joined by co-hosts and design masters Chris Jacobs and Adrienne 'A.J.' Janic to form the expert team of builders who work non-stop until the old, junky vehicles are turned into masterpieces of automobile artwork.
With only a few days and a limited budget to get the job done, the team kicks into gear to get the job finished, all the while keeping the owner guessing as to where the car is while the Overhaulin' is being done.

How It's Made 10Premiere date: Monday, 21 July 2008 at 19h30
How it's Made returns to Discovery for its tenth season to further explore humdrum items that are put to good use on a daily basis. It’s easy to take the work that goes into making things like flashlights, whistles and hockey sticks for granted, yet many undergo a complex process when they're made.
Though some of these items may not be the most exotic or coveted objects, they play a common - and sometimes essential - role in our daily lives. Many of the deceptively simple objects featured in the show also have an amusing history.
