I agree. The Travel Channel seems to either be poker or Las Vegas. Did the Lonely Planet folks quit making those great shows we used to see?

I'm also not happy about our PBS travel shows. The only time they seem to show new Rick Steves shows are during pledge drives. We've even done internet searches for TV shows on a particular destination. One that turned up was an E! TV "Wild On" show on the Croatian Adriatic coast. I guess I should have known---With all the interesting sites in Croatia, on that show I saw 45 seconds of beautiful, historical settings, and the rest of the time was beach scenes of mostly naked bodies and LOUD bar scenes.
