Fans will inevitably be disappointed when they check the Discovery Channel TV schedule for December 17. The network doesn't have a new episode of "Gold Rush: White Water" airing on that date. The network won't even be airing a rerun, instead focusing on the mainline "Gold Rush" series as well as the other spinoff "Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine."
The show's had a bit of a bumpy road the past month in terms of getting new episodes out to the masses, but it's to be expected around the holidays. After a couple of weeks without a single new episode, Discovery Channel aired back-to-back new "Gold Rush: White Water" last week. And it appears as though that may be all fans will get for the foreseeable future.
When looking ahead in the schedule, there's no new episode planned for either December 24 or 31. Due to the holidays, many networks take their popular shows into hiatus around this time of year. Viewers want to spend time with their families, so new episodes will likely continue once we get past New Year's Day.
