High Definition Travel Show Review: Project MyWorld

October 19, 2006 at 12:26 PM | 0 Comments


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.
