My New Favorite Channel

Those of you who know me, know that I am a huge fan of tv. Lately, we've been watching a lot of the Food Network (we've kinda moved past TLC and HGTV), but that's slowly getting bumped to the side in favor of the Travel Channel. Since we can't afford to go any of these exotic and exciting places, we might as well see them thru the eyes of the high definition cameras.

Tonight, we caught this show, Extreme. More specifically, Extreme Terror Rides, meaning extreme amusement parks. If you're flicking thru the channels one day and stumble upon this show, I highly recommend it. The wife and I are already planning a road trip to hit as many of these parks as possible. We caught the Extreme Water Parks episode a couple of weeks ago...and again, a road trip is in the works..

I also caught that new Kobe Bryant documentary shot by Spike Lee. If you haven't seen it, but wanted to, I wouldn't even bother. Really really boring voice over by Bryant trying to seem witty and engaging, but he's not even close to hitting the mark. When he tries talking to his teammates you can tell that they have zero interest in discussing anything at all with him. So in that sense, it's actually fascinating to see. This man, one of the best basketball players on the planet, speaks a couple different languages (he has teammates from Spain, Italy, France etc) and can't converse with any of his them.
