High Definition Travel Show Review: Project MyWorld

High Definition television is causing a resurgence in travel themed programming. We tend to think the genesis for these programs was the oft mocked, briefly aired Taradise. This new breed of travel programming is often shallow, mildly informative, and sometimes even unintentionally entertaining. We will let you know which of these shows we consider either best-of-breed, or unwatchable, we can't decide. Feel free to submit your own suggestions.

Travel Show: Project MyWorld

Channel: Direct 101 HD

Broadcast Times: Various

Typical Episode: Three very loud, very young MySpace girls go to Fill in Safe European City Here one to find music, one to find culture, and one to fine love.

Typcial Dialougue: "I had this amazing physical chemistry with him, but I can't speak English and he can't speak Spanish."

Typical Web Board Show Comment: "Wow... Faceless executives using young, "attractive" multi-cultural females to promote a pointless internet marketing ploy and tap into the youth of today? Who whudda thunk it?"

Little Known Fact: Rupert Murdoch spent $580 million to acquire MySpace and $6.78 billion to acquire DirectTV and this show is the sad synergistic frankenstein of the two.

Hybrid: Josie and the Pussy Cats meets The Net.

High Definition Travel Show Review: Journey of a Lifetime with Jeremy Piven

High Definition television is causing a resurgence in travel themed programming. We tend to think the genesis for these programs was the oft mocked, briefly aired Taradise. This new breed of travel programming is often shallow, mildly informative, and sometimes even unintentionally entertaining. We will let you know which of these shows we consider either best-of-breed, or unwatchable, we can't decide. Feel free to submit your own suggestions.

Travel Show: Journey of a Lifetime with Jeremy Piven

Channel:Discovery HD

Broadcast Times: Various

Typical Episode: Jeremy Piven, in India, wearing U2 t-shirt, renting a moped and calling it a motorcycle.

Typcial Dialougue: "The intensity of this city was softened by this oasis that was inspiring and humbling."

Typical Web Board Show Comment: "You guys took it way too seriously and/or were way too sober when you were watching it. I mean Jeremy Piven trying to pick up that Jewish shama? And then trying to pick up that Bollywood star? Seriously I thought it was hilarious the incredible cognitive dissonance he showed. And yes after the first half we devised a drinking based on whether he said "namaste" or two drinks if he hit on someone inappropriately."

Little Known Fact: Jeremy Piven's hair plugs don't hold up in High Def.

Hybrid: Apocalypse Now meets PCU

Get Out! Girls on Travelistic

Travelistic, which launched today, bills itself as the YouTube of Travel. And while you should definitely go over there and check out their treasure trove of travel videos, what we really care about is the fact that they are the only site we have found that allows you to enclose Get Out! girls videos.

So, in the spirit of our HD Travel Shows review we are in the midst of, here is a totally compressed Get Out! girls video.

If you click on the above video, Lindsay and her sidekicks will teach you the karmic effects of turtle spotting in Hawaii--like, the more you know.

Since Travelistic currently defaults embedded videos to play, we had to jury rig things a bit otherwise Jaunted readers would have been forced to endure Lindsay all day long.
