This channels only use is putting "No Reservations" on the air

each viewer is worth over $2,600 to them? Wow, these people must be buying an awful lot of overpriced crap.

$975 million? I better get a trip around the world with my favorite tour guide.

"As I was perusing the article, it donned on me, I should say something snarky, but hell, let's have a couple more shots of this would local concoction and then I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette."

/great show

would = would

/cat like typing

No mention of Dhani Tackles the Globe? I love that show.

Do any actual globetrotters watch that show, or is it just a bunch of people watching to see that one guy eat bugs and animal penis?

freetomato: I like Man vs Food also

The only reason I will watch this channel is because of Man vs Food. Unfortunately they also run that pompass idiot Anthony Bourdain WAY TOO MUCH (once is too much). How anyone can enjoy this douchenozzle is beyond me.

Yes, I know a lot of you farkers worship people like that, and even him specifically, but come on. While I concede he may (I don't know it though) have some redeeming information to convey, his arrogant, elitist attitudes make it impossible to find them in the seconds it takes to find the remote to change the channel to almost anything else.

She's crazy cute.

travel channel has a lot going for it. Ghost Adventures, Man vs. Food... Isnt "Dhani Tackles The Globe" on there too?

FishyFred: friend of mine couldn't remember his name and referred to the show as "Rude Man Samples Food."

That's actually the title of the show in Japan.

I love the Travel Channel. Man vs Food, Anthony Bourdain, & Bizarre Foods/World are all on my DVR. I guess I'm right in their niche market.

MorningBreath: I love Andrew Zimmern. I love food that flirts just between awesome and barf.

/prime demographic here, and its one of the the only channels I watch: along with the food network and HGTV.

Some of the crap he eats makes me want to vomit in my lap.

freetomato: I like Man vs Food also. Not that I'd plan to gorge to the extent he does but some of that food he tries looks damn tasty

I like that show, but I have gone over to the Food Channel's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for really scrumptious looking eats.


/Last night I watched the M v. F with the 190lb hamburger. That was so preposterous that I coudn't stop laughing.

The channel is full of shows that are 30 minutes long and contain 8 minutes of content.

That's around $3000.00 a viewer to make that money back, from the advertisers POV. I don't see a billion in revenues over the next 5-10 years from those viewers.

FishyFred: /Beirut episode was an instant classic

Agree 100%. I also liked the Laos and Vietnam shows. His fascination with Southeast Asia was quite evident in those eppys.

Man vs Food is one of those WTF shows; it's like rubbernecking at a car wreck. I fully expect to read that Adam Richman had a massive coronary any day now.

Unfortunately, they run a lot of ads for cruises disguised as shows.

And Dahani Jones is a dick.

One problem I have(and it's not a big one; just annoying) is that the program lineup my cable company provides for the Travel Channel is not what's on air(it's the only one like that). I've asked them about it, but they couldn't give me an answer.

I like Man vs Food also. Not that I'd plan to gorge to the extent he does but some of that food he tries looks damn tasty. I'll be in Denver in January and plan on checking out at least one of the three places he hit. I must find a reason to travel to Chicago so I can find that place that serves that sublime looking Italian beef sandwich.....

I'm surprised that I like that show. The key is the host. He's likable and quick-witted.

Timmy the Tumor: Rapmaster2000: Unfortunately, they run a lot of ads for cruises disguised as shows.

if he was, Andrew Zimmern would be stuffing him into his mouth...

Nice. Although based on Zimmern's show I did get the guts to try Rocky Mountain Oysters... so now I know what balls taste like.

Rapmaster2000: Unfortunately, they run a lot of ads for cruises disguised as shows.

That's similar to Sleuth's 5 minute ads in the middle of shows for either the Magic Jack, or that guy who wrote a book on how to screw over your creditors and get away with it(or something like that).

Travel Channel needs to show old PBS episodes of Globe Trekker. PBS never runs that show enough.

Zimmern is great and so was Dhani's show. Man vs Food is my favorite, though. When I visit my Dad in a couple months, were going to all the places he did in Sarasota. It's going to be fun.

I hated those two annoying Australian guys. Bite Me with Dr. Mike was kind of fun. I think with a couple tweaks it could be really good. He had one plant that he just rubbed on him and it made him roll on the ground and puke from the pain or something. It was great.

I want to empty my balls on Samantha Brown's funbags and lick it off. I think I could get her.

Contrabulous Flabtraption: Seriously? I hate her. She is, IMO, by far the worst travel host I have ever seen.

I dunno. She always acts like she got well and thoroughly farked, but is ready for the next go around.

You need to imagine her hoo-ha like a horse gobbling down a carrot, and the hotel room as the stable.

Good, I didn't want to share her anyway.

Contrabulous Flabtraption: LMAO. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I wouldn't coat her head to toe in vadge spackle, I just think she's an awful host.



OH my God! She was in town! I know where they rent those bikes. I am going to buy that seat!!

Agreed.
