SURVIVING DISASTER, Tuesdays, 9 p.m. ET, Spike

Debuts: Sept. 1

Who’s in it: Navy SEAL Cade Courtley hosts.

What’s it about: Ever wondered what you would do if an armed gunman stormed the Starbucks while you were buying a latte, or how to escape the 12th floor of your burning office building? Courtley is your guide to getting out of “catastrophic scenarios and arms [viewers] with the knowledge needed to survive the unthinkable.” Yikes.

Reminds us of: Survivorman on HGH.

The buzz: Without a pilot, it’s hard to grade how this will do, but it’s the usual Spike fare. Alongside repeats of CSI and Deadliest Warrior, Surviving Disaster will do just fine.
