Episodes
Cricket Cookies
At the Smithsonian's National Zoo, more than 100,000 crickets are brought in every week to feed the animals who live there--a particular favorite of golden lion tamarins. They're also the vital ingredient in cricket flour, a nutrient-rich food source packed with protein. Join host Haley Chamberlain-Nelson as she bakes and samples cookies made from this superfood.
Mealworm Popover and Tapenade
Insects might not look appetizing, but put the visuals aside and you'll be surprised by the flavor and nutrition they pack. After all, 30% of the world's population regularly consumes insects. One believer is Brooklyn chef Joseph Yoon, and his mealworm popover and tapenade recipe might just bring you over to the bug side.
Wok-fried Wax Worms
Everyone loves honey, none more so than the waxworm, who feeds on it and tastes all the sweeter for it. Famed chef David George Gordon has included the larvae in a stir-fry that's both sweet and scrumptious, and an instant hit with our skeptical host. He's generously provided the recipe, so only one question remains: Is there a waxworm dinner party coming your way soon?
Grasshopper Tacos
Ancient Aztecs ate insects as a regular part of their diet. Even present-day Mexicans from the Oaxaca region enjoy chapulines, a type of grasshopper. Since the proof is in the pudding, we enlisted famed Washington, DC chef Omar Rodriguez to prepare it for us. He even threw in a bug-based cocktail.
Scorpion Lobster Frittata
Scorpions are not for the faint of heart, but when they're dried and cured in the right hands, such as those of famed Brooklyn chef Joseph Yoon, they can also be pretty tasty. He's prepared a delightful scorpion frittata, and our intrepid host Haley Chamberlain-Nelson was stung... by how tasty it was!
Tarantula Tempura
Tarantulas might be one of the toughest bug food pitches yet, but in the right hands, they're a treat you don't want to pass up. Join chef David George Gordon as he treats us to his patented tarantula tempura, and generously shares his recipe with anyone brave enough to try it!

Family Guy
Family Guy follows Peter Griffin the endearingly ignorant dad, and his hilariously offbeat family of middle-class New Englanders in Quahog, RI. Lois is Peter's wife, a stay-at-home mom with no patience for her family's antics. Then there are their kids: 18-year-old Meg is an outcast at school and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old Chris is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and one-year-old Stewie is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian the family dog and a ladies' man who is one step away from AA.
EastEnders
Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too.
Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
