Located in the far-flung tropical Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands aren’t really close (by more than 600 miles) to anywhere of note, but once there, early pioneers discovered a breathtakingly pristine land of limitless possibilities. The new episode “Galapagos: Enchanted Isles” tales viewers on a journey from the lava ramparts of this coastline to its fiery heart to explore what makes this remote location one of the world’s most important areas of biodiversity. Helena Bonham Carter narrates.
Movie: Sing, 8:45 PM on FREE:
A stellar voice cast headed by Matthew Mcconaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth Macfarlane and Scarlett Johansson sparkles in this infectiously entertaining 2016 Cgi-animated family film, about an assortment of animals who gather at a koala’s theater for a singing competition. John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, Jennifer Saunders, Jennifer Hudson and Peter Serafinowicz also lend their vocal talents to the movie, which grossed more than $632 million at the worldwide box office.
Destination Fear, 9 PM on TRAV; 1 AM on TRAV:
Tanner Wiseman’s team mates have some serious misgivings about his proposal that they investigate the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Sure, the facility — which was closed in 1990 as the result of a class action lawsuit from inmates citing overcrowding and other inhumane conditions — served as the set for the movie hit “The Shawshank Redemption,” but its history is filled with many deaths. Tanner proposes a diabolical “fear experiment” for the team that may go too far.
