I love The Discovery Channel. And all it’s little sister channels – The Travel Channel, TLC, Discovery Health and on and on. I often wish cable was offered a la carte, because I’d only pay for about ten channels. I TiVo almost anything travel-related and The Travel Channel rarely disappoints. It’s like porn for a travel addict.
A few of my favorite TiVo Season Passes:
- Globe Trekker: An absolute must-see if you love travel. Love the depth that these shows delve into and the brand of humor that Ian Wright delivers.
- Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations: As a rabid foodie myself, I’ve been hooked on Tony since his breakthrough book Kitchen Confidential Updated Ed: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
. His kick-ass, no-nonsense personality and avid love for diving into indigenous cultures makes for awesome TV.
- Survivorman: Les Stroud is dropped into the most remote and inhospitable regions on the planet, where he must survive for seven days with little more than a multi-tool and a piece of beef jerky. The guy even lugs around sixty pounds of camera gear and films every piece of the show himself – with no camera crew!
- Man vs. Wild: An interesting take on the Survivorman concept. Bear rules!
Anyone have any recommendations? Any killer shows that I’m missing?
