    Pawn Stars: Fired Up

    The Pawn Stars want to buy an airplane propeller that may be historically tied to Charles Lindbergh--can they find an expert or documentation to confirm the link or will this deal crash and burn? Then when a man brings in a 1750s Flintlock Musketoon, Rick has doubts about its authenticity. And later a young man brings the Old Man a key chain that he believes belonged to Willie Nelson--the only question is--which one.

    Pawn Stars: Missile Attack

    The Pawn Stars take evasive action when a Cold War era heat-seeking missile guidance system locks onto the shop. Will the guys engage and try to blast this deal out of the sky or is this former military secret still too hot to handle? Then, Corey and Chumlee check out a 1986 Buick Regal. Customized from top to bottom, can Corey shift into gear and hit cruise control or will a bumpy negotiation make this low rider hit rock bottom? And later, a man hops into the shop looking to sell an original 1960's Playboy Bunny uniform. Will Rick jump up his offer to buy this iconic costume or has the price for this sexy rabbit become over inflated?

    How Playboy Changed the World

    This two-hour special peeks behind the centerfolds and reveals just how Hugh M. Hefner's men's magazine became a worldwide empire. But more than that, it makes the case for how Playboy challenged social conventions about men, women, sex and nudity, and helped galvanize attitudes about civil liberties and civil rights. Featuring never before seen footage and insightful interviews with social historians, Playboy executives and insiders, like Jenny McCarthy, James Caan, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Diablo Cody, Bill Cosby, Shannon Tweed, Donald Trump -- and, of course, Hugh Hefner, himself -- this feature length documentary shows how Playboy not only changed the world but continues to have a profound impact on our daily lives and cultural values.

    Modern Marvels: Tiny Weapons

    "Tiny" weapons may not sound impressive...but small can kill, and it can also be easily concealed. From a pocket pistol used by the police...to a submachine gun wielded by a bodyguard...to a carbine in the hands of an Army Ranger, many of today's most effective weapons are smaller than ever. They can fit in your pocket, fly through the air, even break through walls--tiny weapons are an essential part of battle, self-defense, and spreading terror.

    Some of the most imposing structures ever built, medieval castles withstood both bloody assaults and the test of time. Designed like machines with nearly every architectural detail devoted to defense, castles represented the perfect fusion of form and function. Journey back to that unruly era as we examine the complexity of their construction and the multipurpose they served--homes to kings and nobles, economic centers, courthouses, treasuries, prisons, and torture chambers.

    Modern Marvels: Siege Machines.

    A look at siege machines that convert energy into mechanical force to go over, under, or through fortified or fixed defenses too strong for conventional force. These engines range from man's first long-range missile weapon, the slingshot, to the laser cannons and satellite-destroying robots of the 21st century. All of these machines are designed to breach barriers--castle walls, entrenched troops, even outer space. When the going gets tough, the tough get siege machines.

    Modern Marvels: Weird Machines

    It has been said that necessity is the mother of all invention--but that is not always the case. Some strange machines are built for sheer spectacle, some a glimpse into the future or even the past, while others are just plain...Weird. Take a look at machines that specialize in high functionality and low practicality, prompting two very important questions: What is it and...how do I get one? An Alaskan navigates the Juneau waters with his homemade submarine. A California company shocks local beach bums with their fully submersible "shark boats." We'll also meet a bicep-curling robot that's built to save lives; scale a mountain with a 21st century Batman-esque rope ascender; witness an engineered, forty-foot vortex of fire known as the Flame Tornado; and hit the backcountry trails with a snowboard-motorcycle hybrid inspired by a shopping cart.

    The Pawn Stars see their spirits soar when a guy brings in a Charles Lindbergh doll from the 1920s. Will the appeal of this rare toy fly over Rick's head, or will he take the pilot's seat and make a deal? Then, the shop becomes a real freak show when a guy brings in an antique poster advertising a sword swallowing act.

And later, a guy comes in with a harmonica that once belonged to Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler.
