    The early days of "reality TV"

    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.
