Top Shows to Enjoy

Moving on, some of the most amazing shows that you will enjoy on National Geographic on Optimum include:

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted

This show is National Geographic’s original production. It features the prominent chef Gordon Ramsay. The interesting part about the show is not Ramsay himself, but his journey to isolated places on Earth in search of a unique culinary experience. In his show, Ramsay travels to six destinations and indulges in some adventures apart from experiencing the culture of those places.

You will not find this show on HBO or any other channel. Other interesting shows on the channel include:

Apollo: Missions to the Moon

This rather intriguing show is a film and an audio recount that narrates the events of the key moments in NASA’s Apollo space program. During the show, you will also learn a great deal about how America’s goal was to land on the moon before 1970.

You won’t find reality shows like these on Showtime or CBS. In case, you are an animal lover, here is a list of some of the most entertaining shows for you.

Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks

This reality show brings to the audience a rather interesting competition between the fishermen.  The fishermen hunt for what probably is the ocean’s most lucrative prey- tuna. It is a competition between the North bank vs. the South bank fishermen. The exciting, as well as the scary part, is that the sea can be very rough in the south region. And the weather is pretty unpredictable as well.

What makes the show more interesting is that Bluefin Tuna can cost up to $ 20k. And it is fun to see the rivalries that rise amongst fishermen that arise during the show.

Secrets of the Zoo

This reality show takes you through the lives and struggles of vets and animal caretakers at the Columbus Zoo. This zoo handles almost 6k veterinary cases and over a hundred births each year. It is very interesting to watch how various animals give birth. And how do vets give new life to the animals who get sick or hurt?

However, if you are not into reality shows and wish to live in your fairy tale world with those fiction movies and shows, then you can tune into channels like TNT. Optimum offers a variety of channels.
