5:30 PM ISLANDS OF LIFE. More than 50 years ago, the islands of the Bahamas were being sold to wealthy individuals. The fisheries were endangered, flamingos were being hunted to near extinction, forests were cut down, and the fisheries were being depleted. Because of educational efforts by concerned citizens and volunteers that pressured the government, a non-governmental organization, the Bahamas National Trust was formed that has created 26 national parks on 1 million acres of land and sea to protect all their marine and island species. This documentary shows the results of Bahamians’ conservation efforts-from the rich forests that shelter parrots and crabs, to the colorful reefs that nurture fish, turtles and other natural wonders. 

6:30 PM THE LEGEND OF IVAN TORS (includes Carrabbas dinner baked and served alfresco in Courtyard). It is reasonable to assume that, throughout the world, TV viewers of all ages have seen at least one or more of the hundreds of TV shows and movies that Ivan Tors wrote, Produced and/or Directed. At the peak of his fame, and for years after, the name Ivan Tors’ was associated with animals, science drama, and adventure. Tors was the brilliant Creator of SCIENCE FICTION THEATER, which was the world’s first successful syndicated TV series. 

8:15 PM THE PILL Some relationships are hard to swallow. It happens. You meet someone at the bar, one thing leads to another, and the next thing you know you're waking up wondering (and potentially regretting) exactly what took place the night before. Such is the case for Fred, who starts to panic when his free-spirited one night stand, Mindy, informs him that she's not on birth control; but for some reason isn't too concerned. Fred, determined not to become a father, is forced into an all-day adventure with Mindy that is filled with awkward social situations and untimely roadblocks as he struggles to preserve his New York City world. With a resolution finally in sight, the no-boundaries Mindy starts to grow on the overly anxious Fred, forcing him to make a decision that will change the rest of his life.
