I'd probably be alot more into the travel channel if this past semester, my roommate and his abomination of a girlfriend didn't watch like 12 hours of that and mtv's, vh1's and E!s programming a day. maybe I'll rediscover my love of it over the summer.
If you like Anthony Bourdain's show, I highly recommend Michael Palin's Around the World in 80 Days, Ian Wight's Globe Trekker, and... any show by Ian or Palin.
