This show has got me hooked. Created in part by Ricky Garvais (The Office-Original version in Britain and host of the Golden Globes). It takes a somewhat normal guy who may or may not be a very smart guy depending on how you look at it and sends him around the world in search of the 7 new wonders of the world. One catch, it's a travel show that shows the real versions of the places and gives a frank look at them as well. Take for example his trip to Egypt and one of the best views of the Pyramids is from a booth in a Pizza Hut. The show is hilarious but if you have traveled to anyplace that is said to be world famous you usually find that they are filled with commercialism and overrun with people trying to make a buck. Anyways, a great show!

Saw this show last night...the India episode. The part where the Indian guy is wrapping his junk around the cane and then tucking it behind him and doing squats was freakin' ridiculous.

Hilarious show! I stumbled on it quite by accident. It was the last day of our vacation and my girlfriend was packing. I turned on the tv and the only channel we got in english was the discovery channel. I am watching this show and was interested because he was in China on some big wall... Took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on, but once I realized the farcicle nature of the show, I couldn't stop laughing! They had him doing kung fu, trying to a piece of metal over his head. If you haven't checked it out, you need to! Now! Why are you still reading this?! GO! GO!
