The early days of "reality TV"
by matthewc-22000-07-12

"This show was actually quite good. It was scripted and rehearsed, but watching it you almost believed that it was just this guy going around filming - travelling to various locales and interacting with people. It was very convincing, kind of the dawn of "reality TV." It was witty and fun. There were some one-liners and witticisms I still find myself quoting every once in a while. Definitely worth watching. I think it was only on for about 6 or 7 episodes, so getting a copy of it is bound to be quite a chore, but see it if you can...."
