It's on OPB in Portland Saturday nights at 8 pm and repeated Monday at midnight. It's the same show as the Lonely Planet series that used to be on the Travel Channel back when that channel didn't completely suck. They had a really good one on the Pacific NW a couple of weeks ago.
Originally posted by Donovan: It was actually on at 1:00 in the morning on public broadcasting. Such a great show.
I found it...4 am...am sorry but even am not that bad a insomniac.
Beijing in 2008...humm a good thought. I will be nice to all my chinese freinds from now on.Maybe I can stay with their families when everything is crazy out there. Humm...am evil.
I love the show, and tape it every week. I didn't bother watching the Beijing episode this week though, as I'd watched it twice already. I've probably seen the New Zealand episode 4 times now.
I also really enjoyed the Pacific NW episode. Seeing places that you're familiar with on TV is a touch bizarre, but fun.

I got to watch the top 10 best beaches episode while flying back from The Netherlands. Such a treat. It featured all the hosts in different locations. I want that episode on dvd.
Globetrekker is an awesome show, what a job that would be to travel around to all those places while having fun and getting paid. It is hard to find them on TV but the library usually has DVD's or videos that you can check out. We even reserve copies online from other city libraries and they bring it to our local library for us to check out when its available. Some of the older shows are still listed as lonelyplanet from before they went solo under the Globetrekker name.
