Swamp Men - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Newbies
Park director Ed Woods responds to an emergency call - an imposing 11-foot alligator camped under a dock where guests are coming to visit - and calls in Paul, expert alligator catcher. On the other side of Billie Swamp Safari, a razor-tusked wild hog tests Cory's animal-trapping skills. And, newbies Matt and Shea learn how to capture trespassing raccoons and tackle alligators. Their skills are quickly put to work as they rescue a clutch of baby gators from being eaten by a hungry bull gator.
Croc Escape
Houdini is a 9-foot-long Nile croc that earned his name from being a renegade on the loose for more than 12 years. Ed and his team head deep into the swamp in an all-out effort to catch this legendary escape artist. Shea, Lawrence, and Matt are finally initiated into the Swamp Men team - but not before spending the night alone in the swamp with only a knife and one other item each. Watch the boys learn from Ed as they build their own shelter and fire, and scavenge for "survival stew."
Break-In Bear
The staff at Billie Swamp Safari is faced with the challenge of capturing a black bear threatening the food source for other animals in the reservation. When the bear doesn't fall for a bait of peanut butter and molasses, Ed has to up the ante to attract the hungry menace. A dangerous cold front means animal wranglers John and Hans must move tropical reptiles indoors, which is no easy feat with a monitor lizard that lashes out with formidable claws. The team must work together to relocate a herd of ornery American bison due to a population explosion.
Panther Down
Billie Swamps Park Director, Ed, takes Matt, the "newbie", out to feed the water buffalo. After Matt gets a crash course on how to survive the 2500-pound beasts, Ed gets a call about a Florida panther in distress. He meets up with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials and they find a panther dead - killed by a larger male panther.
Bee Bomb
The team at the Billie Swamp Safari embarks on a mammoth spring cleaning of the park in preparation for Memorial Day, one of the busiest weekends of the year. But will a colony of thousands of bees ruin the holiday?
Gator Breakout
There's more croc commotion when Ed and his team realise that an alligator has escaped from 'Alcatraz', the fenced-in area that houses the nuisance gators that might have been destroyed elsewhere in Florida.
Croc Swap
Safari director Ed Woods has a difficult - and dangerous - job on his hands as he looks to relocate a number of huge and potentially deadly Nile crocodiles to a new home.
Fire Hazard
The guys risk life and limb to search for injured animals while a forest fire ravages the nearby Seminole cultural area. With the hard work done, Ed organises a frog-leg eating contest to celebrate. But who will leap to victory?
Predators on the Prowl
Ed enlists a veteran 'gator wrangler' to help him try to catch Houdini, a dangerous nine-foot Nile croc who escaped captivity over a decade ago.
The Coming Storm
Senior staff meet to discuss emergency protocol as Tropical Storm Bonnie heads towards the safari park.

Highway Thru Hell
Highway Thru Hell focuses on a team of drivers who work for Jamie Davis, along with several other heavy recovery operations fighting to keep the roads open in some of the most dangerous working conditions ever seen on TV. The Coquihalla and nearby highways through BC's Cascade Mountains have some of the most difficult and fast changing road conditions anywhere. When it's snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq', 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada's busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle' of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell's heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment's notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test. The rugged terrain near Hope, British Columbia dishes out some of the most unique and challenging recovery jobs over steep cliffs, down deep ravines and even in bodies of water. Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point. The stakes are high - lives, the economy and thousands of jobs depend on the highways staying open, and the last line of defense is Heavy Rescue.
The Hunting Party
When a secret prison suffers a mysterious explosion that allows the nation's most violent serial killers to escape, a former profiler is thrust back into a thrilling game of cat and mouse. Alongside a team of soldiers, spies and special agents, she has no choice but to track down and recapture these dangerous criminals… before they kill again.
Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
