DISCOVERY'S "GEARS, FEARS AND REARS WEEK" PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3

Celebrate Summer With A Special Week of Premieres, Reloads and Pop Up Programming

(Los Angeles, Calif.) - From Sunday, August 3, to Saturday, August 9, Discovery Channel is celebrating summer by kicking off the SHARK WEEK countdown with seven nights of hot premieres, sizzling reloads and scorching pop up editions. From naked survivalists to shrimp boat captains, Oklahoma street racers to pseudo-scientists who like to make things explode, GEARS, FEARS AND REARS WEEK has a little bit of everything for everyone.

This summer has been hot, so strip down when the weeklong event kicks off on Sunday with a full three hours of NAKED AND AFRAID. Later in the week, the intense season finale of STREET OUTLAWS will show Big Chief finally calling out his best friend in hopes of stealing that coveted #1 spot on the list of the best racers in Oklahoma City. It's also been a wild season for DEADLIEST CATCH, which wraps its landmark 10th season on Discovery this Tuesday, with a huge arctic hurricane striking the fleet. The MythBusters are also getting in on the fun this week, when they get sexy with science to tackle five captivating clichés about the laws of attractions.

Tune in to see these shows and many more! Below is Discovery's full lineup for GEARS, FEARS AND REARS WEEK:
