Is it online?
I only have "basic" cable...so I get about 14 channels. Its good most times, because I rarely watch TV as is [no time] but still. I REALLY want to watch that.

Finally. I saw it myself. I'm not saying it had anything to do with me, but I submitted this idea to the Discovery Channel almost a year ago and pointed them Gill Athletics to get all their info for the show. Glad to see it finally made it on the show. Short, but I thought it was pretty good.
