Prodigal Son

Channel: M-Net City (DStv 115)
TX Time: 20h50
Genre: Thriller, Drama

Prodigal Son

Imagine, for a second, that you catch killers for a living. Your father is one of the most notorious serial killers that ever lived, and he taught you everything there is to know about the criminal mind.

Now, imagine partnering with your serial killer father to help the police solve other murders...

Prodigal Son centres on Malcolm Bright, a psychologist who has a gift for understanding how serial killers think, because his father, Dr. Martin Whitly, was once a notorious serial killer called The Surgeon.

Bright is the best criminal psychologist around, and murder is the family business.

He uses his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with his manipulative mother, Jessica Whitly, his annoyingly normal sister, Ainsly Whitly and a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son, not to mention his own constantly evolving neuroses.

The only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo.

Arroyo is one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team – Detective Dani Powell, a headstrong no-nonsense cop who quickly becomes impressed with Bright's work; and Detective JT Tarmel, a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself.

During an investigation, Malcolm uncovers a striking bit of information - the killer they are investigating is impersonating another serial killer... his father, Dr. Whitly.

Bright enlists the help of his father to uncover the impersonator and solve other murders. But will this unsuspecting dream team become dangerous?

Is Malcolm more like his father than he'd care to admit? Will the serial killer father get his son back?

Family Feud 15

Since its premiere in 1976, Family Feud has remained one of television's most popular and enduring game shows.

Featuring two families who compete for cash and cars, contestants try to guess the most popular answers to questions posed to 100 people surveyed.

As host, Steve Harvey engages competing family members in repartee, and his honest reactions to their responses have brought a fresh sense of comedy to the show.

In the new season, host Steve Harvey will be joined by some hilarious families, as they compete for the chance to win a bevy of cash prizes.

Featured families traveled from all over the US to participate on the show. This season auditions were held in Atlantic City, San Francisco, Austin, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Miami and Boston.

As an extra family fun bonus this season, viewers will get the opportunity to watch their favourite family members from TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Cake Boss come face-to-face on the Family Feud stage in support of their favourite charities, GLAAD and the Momma Mary Foundation.

The showdown is set to air later in the season.

TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Reality, Reality Makeover

Outpatients 3

Aesthetic medicine takes centre stage with Dr Cathy Davies, a medical doctor with a special interest in aesthetics, who runs a practice in Johannesburg which services both ordinary people and celebrities alike.

From helping victims of violent injuries, to burn victims or those seeking life changing hair restoration, Dr Cathy is there to help.

In every episode, Cathy and her team of specialised medical professionals achieve the most extreme rehabilitations and transformations imaginable, and along the way, Dr. Cathy does whatever it takes to restore her patients' lives.

In the third season, you will get an even more intimate glimpse of Dr. Cathy and the daily miracles she performs.

Her cases take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster as the stories elicit both tears and cheers.

This season, Dr Cathy treats a chronically ill retired dancer who might lose his leg; a lady in the Eastern Cape with a facial tumor that is making it difficult for her to eat, drink, breathe and see; and a patient who lost most of her face as a child to Lupus.

Dr Cathy also checks in with Vuyi, a patient from the first season, who is still fighting his motor neuron disease and Ariana, a young teenage patient from the second season, who, after the tragic death of her cousin, suffered from Alopecia and lost most of her hair.

In the Season 3 premiere: Cathy has a chronically ill patient who may lose his leg. She tries everything she can to help the retired dancer walk once more.
