10 Channel Guide Magazine N Ever since they were kids, Rick and Marty Lagina have shared an insatiable desire (Rick a little more than Rick & Marty) to solve the mystery Marty surrounding Oak Island, a Lagina 140-acre island off the coast of Nova Scotia believed to be A handful of adrenaline-fueled the resting place of ancient treasures dating back to adventure seekers were the Knights Templar (some even believe the ark of the scouring one of the world’s covenant is located there). Many legends about deadly deadliest islands (apparently over curses and glorious treasures surround the island that 4,000 snakes inhabit this 110-acre the brothers now co-own. They’ve spent years (four nightmare) in search of the legendary Treasure of the TV seasons) digging and searching for evidence of Trinity — an elusive Inca treasure of gold believed to the treasure. “The goal is to solve the mystery. It’s not be worth nearly $400 million. Well, they didn’t fi nd so much of a treasure — my the treasure there, but they did fi nd a map (with a brother might differ a bit on that clue!), which took them deep into South America’s — but there is a wonderful story Atlantic Forest in Argentina and to Season 2, where written there,” Rick told us. “I’d they found more maps (Jesuit treasure maps), an like to put pen to paper and tell Incan nose plate and more that led to a cave that led that story.

They found some there will be.” As of today, History has yet to renew the extremely rare artifacts including an Incan series for a fi fth season. You can watch past episodes gold sun mask. Discovery renewed the series on On Demand. for Season 3 to continue to chronicle what the team has uncovered. Found Or Lost Forever? While we love the Lagina brothers, we think they’ve taken this exploration as far as it can go. The ark of the covenant is not on Oak Island.

This series, billed as “The Hunt for an Astronaut’s Secret Fortune,” launched April 18 and airs Tuesdays on Discovery Channel. While orbiting Earth looking for nuclear missile sites in the 1960s, pioneering astronaut Gordon Cooper believed he discovered a large number of shipwrecks in the Caribbean that could hold unimaginable wealth. Cooper worked for decades in secret to create a treasure map with the information he collected. Before his death in 2004, Cooper shared his secret with longtime friend and treasure hunter Darrell Miklos. The series follows Miklos and his team as they use Cooper’s maps and Astronaut Gordon Cooper data to hunt for sunken riches. “We’ve been lucky that the information that Gordon’s given me is legitimate,” Miklos says. “Luckily enough, the archival data that Gordon turned over to me has proven to be extremely accurate. And so far, we’re fi ve for fi ve.” Found Or Lost Forever? Looks promising, though Miklos’ ornery, foulmouthed father might be this show’s most entertaining discovery.

or Colt Prattes, playing bad boy dance instructor Johnny Castle in ABC’s musical reimagining of the beloved 1987 film Dirty F Dancing isn’t just a dream come true but a coming full circle. As a kid growing up in rural Georgia, Prattes watched the film with his stepmom whenever it appeared on TV and admired Patrick Swayze’s cool, but didn’t yet realize the impact the actor and role would have on his life. “Eventually she told me that Patrick’s mom owned a dance studio and he’d been Colt Prattes dancing his whole life. All of a sudden this world and Abigail opened up to me,” Prattes recalls. “I realized that it Breslin wasn’t just something he did for the movie. This was something he did for a passion. You don’t think of men as dancers, especially not in north Georgia, so it was something I was fighting against. Then, when I found out Patrick Swayze had been a dancer, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s on.’ Because he’s Patrick Swayze. He’s Road House. He’s Point Break. He’s Ghost. “It was a huge part of accepting being a dancer,” Prattes continues. “My parents were both police officers and they were incredibly supportive of me, but I remember that my dad and my brothers would joke when I first started. I started singing first, and they were like, ‘Just as long as you don’t start dancing, buddy.’ Then I started dancing. They were like, ‘Just as long as you ain’t doing ballet.’ Then I started doing that, and they were like, ‘It’s cool, dude. Just do whatever you want.’ There were no more jokes.” Especially when Prattes began making his living as a dancer in music videos and concerts and scoring ensemble gigs on Broadway. Still, he longed to break into television and films. Then his agent called about an acting gig that would also require he sing and dance — a TV remake of Dirty Dancing. His dream role. And when a callback landed him in front of another hero, the film’s choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, who recently worked on the Broadway smash Hamilton, Prattes wondered if it was all meant to be. “I assumed, ‘OK, there’s going to be a bunch of us in the room’ like any audition,” Prattes recalls.
