Hosted by NFL Network’s Rich Eisen, The Great Escape pits three pairs against each other as they try to escape from being held captive.

TNT has three new non-scripted shows slated for 2013; a police docu-drama called Boston Blue that’s executive produced by Donnie Wahlberg; a competition series called 72 Hours; and The Hero, a search by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for a new action hero.
