During the harsh winter of Canada's Northwest Territory, remote villages and work camps are cut off from the world. To keep them supplied, a tenacious group of long-haul truckers drive their rigs over hundreds of miles on ice roads cut across the surface of frozen lakes. Sometimes the ice cannot support the heavy rig, and driver and cargo plunge through the ice and sink to the bottom. Hitch a risky ride along with the Ice Road Truckers as they drive headlong into bone-chilling danger.

Rewriting History: What's Next As Hits The Bible, Vikings Change The Cable Network's Course

The Bible and Vikings made History last month in more ways than one. Both the religious miniseries and the period drama helped the channel ascend to the No. 1 spot among cable networks during March. That means less than a year after Hatfields & McCoys launched History into the scripted world, the channel is now three-for-three with original dramas. History has come a long way from the days when it was mostly known for running...

Ratings: CSI: Miami Raises CBS' Sunday, Football Wins the Night

CSI: Miami's move to Sunday was a good one for CBS. Miami drew 11.8 million viewers, according to overnight Nielsen estimates. Even though the show was down 26 percent in the 18-to-49 demographic from its premiere on Monday last year, the series was up 52 percent in the demo over Cold Case's premiere on Sunday last fall. CSI: Miami Producer: "You're going to meet a new Horatio Caine" Miami benefited from...

Tonight's TV Hot List: Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009

True Blood9/8c HBO "There's no place like home" may be a familiar refrain, but, with their business in Dallas complete, Sookie, Bill and Jason return to a Bon Temps they barely recognize, thanks to Maryann's black-eyed coup d'état. To make matters worse, it appears that Bill's vampire voodoo is no match for the maenad's mind-control mayhem, and Sookie may be too late to help Tara out of her Dionysian daze. One bright spot, however, may be the chance that Jason can put his commando training to good use after all.Read on for previews of Mad Men, Merlin, Miss Universe Pageant and Ice Road Truckers.

The Truckers Are on the (Icy) Road Again

The first thing Hugh "the Polar Bear" Rowland tells me when we climb into his massive snow-white Freightliner truck, preparing to head onto the northernmost ice road in the world, is to leave my seat belt unbuckled. He says if something goes wrong out here — on the frozen Mackenzie River, 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle and headed toward the Beaufort Sea — hitting the windshield will be the least of our worries. He laughs when he says this (Rowland laughs a lot), but he's not kidding. The temperature outside is 20 degrees below zero, and if you're in a 50-ton vehicle that happens to go through a soft spot in the ice and into fast-freezing water that will kill you in 10 minutes or less, you don't want to be strapped in. He's got his sleeves rolled up, his window rolled halfway down, like a man going out for a Sunday drive. I, on the other hand, am bundled into as many layers of Gore-Tex and thermal underwear as I can find, barely able to bend my legs and climb into

Ice Road Truckers Make Trip to Big Screen

Twentieth Century Fox is taking the premise of History Channel's hit reality series Ice Road Truckers and adapting it as the basis for a scripted tentpole feature film, says Variety. Truckers, which started as a special and later became the cabler's highest-rated series, follows drivers who navigate 18-wheelers over a 350-mile highway made of, well, ice, delivering supplies to diamond miners working the tundra of Canada's Northwest Territories.
