The only American game shows I do are Jeopardy and Wheel and Cash Cab.

All the rest are fillers when I am bored and I need a break from politics and the spawn of Jolie.

The History Channel rocks- I can watch the "how stuff is made", Mega Machines and the war documentaries.


Speed Channel premiered a program called "101 cars you have to drive before you die"

I came across a really good, quirky program on my On Demand channel.

It's a game show where a couple is sent to a vacation spot and they have to go around and accomplish 8 tasks in 12 hours to win a week in a really nice hotel. If they fail, they go home the same day. They are given clues by cell phone and try to solve them within the time frame.

The tasks are based on the area's history, customs and people.

In one show the couple went to Cuba and they had to roll cigars, box one round in a famous gym, find a pirce of clothing worn by Fidel Castro in a museum and sing with a local band at a concert.

Another program was done in Argentina. I learned something about Eva Peron and her final resting place...It's kinda mindless but informational!
