Cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy tackles the most catastrophic cat cases he's ever encountered in six all-new, one-hour episodes of MY CAT FROM HELL. Armed with 15 years of experience, a proven training program and his signature guitar case filled with cat toys, Galaxy is on a mission to help cat owners find the source of conflict with their furry friends. In this season, Jackson swoops in to solve a gamut of feline-related issues and repair the relationships they're ruining, including the hair-raising case of a cat terrorizing its owner's Pilates business by attacking her clients. Whether it's the cat or the owners behaving badly, leave it to Galaxy to save the day!

PIT BOSS - New Episodes Beginning Saturday, January 7 at 9pm ET/PT

In six all-new episodes of PIT BOSS, viewers catch up with Shorty Rossi, his pit bulls and his team of little people as excitement continues to unfold in Hollywood. Shorty's life revolves around fighting for the "underdog" - he rescues pit bulls with Shorty's Rescue and runs Shortywood, Inc., a talent management company for little people like him. After Shorty's employees, Ronald and Sebastian, get a taste of the limelight from shooting a movie ("Snow White") with Julia Roberts, drama ensues when they question if they'll return to Shorty's Rescue. With so many pit bulls in need, will Shorty and Ashley be able to handle the workload without the guys?
