Tiger Team (TV series)

Tiger Team is a 2007 American television show on Court TV, that was aired as a burn-off pilot on the evening of December 25, 2007, days before the network converted to the new branding of truTV.

The show follows a civilian tiger team composed of Chris Nickerson, Luke McOmie, and Ryan Jones, members of Alternative Technology, an Information Security company from Colorado, which is hired to infiltrate organizations with the objective of testing their weaknesses to electronic, psychological, tactical, and physical threats. Attacks executed on organizations in this television show include social engineering, wired and wireless hacking, and physical breaking and entering

Tiger Team's two produced episodes aired on Christmas Night 2007 at 11:00 pm ET, a time when original new television programming usually never premieres, much less non-holiday programming. Although some viewers were interested in more episodes of the show, the network emailed those who inquired to say it was only a 'special', and there would be no consideration under truTV's new programming direction to make it a continuing series.^[1]
