Doomsday Preppers

Doomsday Preppers Takes on New York City

If the folks on Doomsday Preppers are right, the revolution will not, in fact, be televised. Nor will it look too much like Revolution, at least for those stuck in large urban areas. "If there's a disaster scenario in New York, there's no good solution to getting out and surviving," says executive producer Alan Madison. That doesn't mean there's no point in trying, though. And so for Tuesday's episode (9/8c, National Geographic Channel), Madison took three New York preppers and had them execute their escape plans — commonly referred to as "bug-out plans" on the show — with a little help from some mentors. Madison talked with TV Guide Magazine about the episode.

This, of course, is the catalyst for their friend Brian Eller (Brian Geraghty) apparently burning down everyone's homes — though he may not actually be to blame. To get the scoop on what's in store, TVGuide.com turned to Foley, who also discusses his upcoming comedy The Goodwin Games and dying far too many times in his career — Grey's Anatomy, Scream 3 and in Felicity's alternate universe, to name a few... read more
