The Discovery Channel's newest reality show, "Moonshiners," follows small group of Virginia men as they go through the motions of creating a batch of illegal whiskey from start to finish, deep in the Appalachian mountains. 

If that sounds a lot like Neal Hutcheson's Emmy-winning documentary "The Last One," chronicling legendary mountain man Popcorn Sutton brewing his supposed last batch of moonshine, then it shouldn't surprise you to see clips from that film sprinkled throughout the first few episodes of the Discovery series.

Hutcheson, a documentary filmmaker at N.C. State, says that some of the film has been licensed to Discovery for use in the series. "Tim," the main character in "Moonshiners," references Popcorn and insinuates that his father perhaps worked with him, but his statements are vague on that point.

Shark Week 2011 kicks off tonight on Discovery with Chief Shark Officer Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live") serving as host for the entire week.

Also, for the first time, Shark Week 2011 will feature live co-viewing for iPad, iPhone, and web users. Download the apps or be at the Shark Week website each night for three consecutive hours of interactive content designed to enhance your Shark Week TV viewing.

Things start tonight at 9 with one of Discovery's new programs. "Great White Invasion" is a chilling look at why great white sharks are suddenly being found swimming around surfers and vacationers from South Africa to Australia, and up and down the California coast. Why? WHY!? After that, another new show, "Jaws Comes Home," tells the story of shark expert Greg Skomal as he documents six months following five great whites with names like Curly and Ruthless. His mission is to understand more about their 1,200 mile journey up and down the eastern seaboard.
