Here's a TV show to queue up your DVR. Our favorite Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are teaming up to honor Steve Jobs in an hour-long documentary that'll air on the Discovery Channel later this month.

The television special will focus on the impact Steve Jobs had on other peoples lives. It'll include interviews from musicians like Stevie Wonder who'll talk the influence Steve Jobs had on his career and former Apple employee Daniel Kottke who will talk his time with the Apple CEO. The documentary will air Sunday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. on Discovery's domestic and international channels. [InsideTV]

Netflix Is Getting Man vs. Wild, Deadliest Catch, and the Rest of Discovery's Shows [NetFlix]

It looks like Netflix CEO wasn't totally full of hot air when he claimed that Netflix would be adding a bunch of new streaming content. Discovery Communications has agreed to a two-year deal to bring full episodes of its TV shows to Netflix.

The deal only covers episodes from previous seasons, so you won't be able to stay current by watching on Netflix, but until now there was no way to watch Discovery's shows in their entirety online.

Discovery Communication's networks include Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, ID: Investigation Discovery, and the Science and Military Channels. So popular shows like Dirty Jobs, Man vs. Wild, and Deadliest Catch will all be available. The one exception is Oprah's OWN network, which wasn't included in the deal.

Season-old episodes aren't going to be a cure-all for Netflix streaming, which is in the process of losing its Starz content, but who's going to argue against being able to queue up Bear Grylls drinking some Bear Grylls urine? [Reuters]
