Reviews

pointman45 Does anyone know how to find about the songs used in the different episodes. I love this show and as I watched Expedition Unknown - Secrets Of Brother XII, I heard songs that I'd really like to hear more of. I tried the FAQ but it's not up and running yet so please comment your answer. Thanks in advance!

lmorales-48468 This guy never finds anything. He goes out to a place where there are rumors of a subject (bigfoot, Loch Ness,Jersey Devil..etc) and starts out by saying we are going to find it. 60 minutes after a waste of time he concludes the show with a quote found in tens of thousands of books written on the subject. Meanwhile I have wasted an hour of my time that i will never get back. Not cool! Please take this garbage off TV. I think there are more interesting topics for shows available.

kanati-2 If Mike Rowe is the people's everyman host, Josh Gates is the host you most want to be. Who wouldn't want to travel the world investigating odd and unusual stories and historical mysteries? And not only that, Josh never seems to have a bad day. Perhaps it's just the magic of television but he genuinely seems to have fun with everything no matter what situation he seems to find himself in. He seems to genuinely enjoy his job and it comes through in every episode. The show thinly veils itself as being about history and archaeology, but it really is about Gates and his adventures and misadventures around the world. Occasionally you will learn something and they will find something archaeologically interesting, but that's really not what the show is about. Being on the Travel channel, it's as much about the travel and experience as it is the science. Perhaps more so. The show is well worth the watch.

jackstupidjack Gates must be one of the more personable hosts on TV today. The premise is basically the same as his former show Destination Truth on SyFy; insofar as as with Destination Truth the show starts with some spurious rumour and homemade 'newspaper article' relating to some 'lost' artefact or place (as opposed to a mythical creature in DT) followed by Gates heading off around the globe in search of the artefact or place, followed closely by Gate's goofing around while he gets down on the the more serious track of the legends, which he then hunts down in the most annoyingly melodramatic ways possible. All in all while the content is hokum in the extreme, overly melodramatic in parts, as a travelogue to some pretty interesting places conducted by an intelligent, well travelled, funny and entertaining host.
