Sunday Marathon Tribute - Jan. 5, 2014

In-N-Out Burger - 7 p.m.

Huell takes us on an hour-long Californias Gold special which looks at the history of In-N-Out Burger. This is the first time television cameras have ever been allowed to shoot inside a store. And this special also includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the In-N-Out Headquarters in Baldwin Park where it all started back in 1948.

Galcos - 8 p.m.

Huell first met Galcos Old World Grocery owner John Nese back in 2000 when he did a program about the more than 250 different vintage soda pops he sold in his store. In this special update, well discover that not only has his inventory of vintage sodas doubled in size, but hes also added shelves of classic candy bars! The real joy of the story however, is finding out how his family has changed and grown since the first visit.

Springtime In Death Valley - 9 p.m.

Leave it to Huell to think he could go kayaking in Death Valley! But it turns out thats exactly what he does as he travels to normally parched Death Valley National Park to kayak on the huge salt lake created by the historic rains in 2005. Ancient Lake Manly at Badwater only reappears about every 100 years, so he figured he better go for it. In addition to the lake, Huell also captures the bounty of endless fields of wildflowers, which covered Death Valley this spring.

Half Dome - 10 p.m.

Huell had the adventure of a lifetime when he climbed Yosemites formidable Half Dome. Join him in this one-hour special documenting his 17-mile round trip trek, along with other avid hikers, to conquer this 4,800-foot high landmark.

Hollywood Sign - 11 p.m.

Join Huell for this very special one-hour look at the world famous Hollywood Sign. Huell gets special permission from The Hollywood Sign Trust to actually climb up to and even on the sign. While perched on this landmark Huell learns the full history from 1923 till now from the people who work so hard to preserve this icon. Then he is joined by Raiden Peterson who was part of the construction crew that literally rebuilt the sign in 1978. Raiden not only brings great memories and stories but an incredible bunch of artifacts that he found when working on the sign, including a light bulb that still works! Finally Huell talks to a few pranksters, one of whom was part of a group that changed the sign to read CAL TECH, and another is the infamous RAFFEYSOD. As always, youre invited to come on along as we learn how they did it!

Classic Arts Showcase - 12 a.m. (Monday, Jan. 6)

Huell tours the Glendale office of Classic Arts Showcase, a free cable TV program comprised of video samples from the worlds of ballet, opera and theater. The program was the vision of philanthropist Lloyd Rigler, who practiced the cost-effective use of resources in order to achieve the greatest good.

Weekday Tribute - Monday, Jan. 6 - Friday, Jan. 10, 2014

50s Motels - Monday, Jan. 6 at 7:30 p.m.

Firefall - Wednesday, Jan. 8 at 7:30 p.m.

Join Huell at the top of Glacier Point with Nic Fiore who was the last to push a pile of burning embers off the edge, creating the beautiful red hot waterfall effect known as Firefall. Then, follow Huell down to the bottom at Camp Curry, the best spot to view Firefall, where he talks with Keith and Ginny Bee who, for 42 years, ran the nightly outdoor theater show which led up to the fiery finale of this now lost California tradition.

California Flowers - Thursday, Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

One of Huells favorite things is when California blooms anew, bringing forth a striking display of flowers. Huell visits three places across the state where the splendor of California is in full bloom: Daffodil Hill in the Gold Country, the Ranunculas fields of Carlsbad Ranch, and the California Poppy Reserve in Antelope Valley--all amazing vistas where swaths of color stretch as far as the eye can see.

Pinks - Friday, Jan. 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Family owned and operated since 1939, this L.A. institution has been serving up some of the best chili cheese hot dogs this side of Coney Island. Huell gets the lowdown from Mrs. Pink and a handful of enthusiastic patrons, many of whom have been eating at Pinks since their childhood.

Weekend Tribute - Saturday, Jan. 11 - Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014

Ansel Adams - Saturday, Jan. 11 at 5 p.m.
