Rick Steves is over on PBS as well. Those of you who liked the OLD Travel Channel format may want to migrate over there instead.

Did anyone else used to watch that show "Diceman" about the two English guys who rolled the dice to see where they'd go and what they'd do next? Travel Channel needs more of that stuff and fewer shows about Vegas, beaches, ultimate luxury travel and the other bullcrap that they broadcast relentlessly now.

I loved the Diceman! They have too much of that stupid Alby Mangles (spelling?) and on every espisode, he almost gets himself and everyone around him killed. Ended up in a Guerrilla War, got rushed by a Rhino, got in a bad car crash etc. The Travel Channel has all that stupid crap on Vegas, I miss the show Lauren Hutton used to host "Three Perfect Days", Great Country Inns, and I think it was called Romantic Inns? They also need to bring back "Amazing Destinations". It is such a stupid channel now. They need to get rid of whomever is in charge of programming IF anyone actually is. Also, bring back Justine and Ian. I mean, how can you take such a wonderful idea and screw it up so badly?

damn only did 11 of the 101 things but walked by almost half. any how this chanal was one of the things that made me into a travel freak, the kids know watching it will probably want too be LAS VEGAS gambles.

Ian is back - the show was Ireland. Was this a repeat? He is adorable and just seems to have such a great time. Justine is awful. The show in New Mexico, she was in the worst mood and just plain whiney.

I loved watching the show with Samantha Brown visiting the hotels. Whatever happened to that one??

Samantha Brown is starting to get annoying because she is on all the time.

It's either Vegas or crocodiles on that Channel and the repeats are ridiculous.

Moved On

The best shows are no longer, and I now find the Food Network has more useful travel information. I miss Lonely Planet too. There is too much Haunted this and Ten Best that. Tabloid travel I call it. I don't watch the Travel Channel much anymore.

Here's another person who missing Lonely Planet. I think I've seen them all, but still watch the reruns, especially the ones with Ian and Justine. For the above poster, the Southwest show with Justine was a rare one showing her negative side. She's almost always witty, funny, and having a great time. Ditto about too many shows about Las Vegas, bikini stuff, etc.
