What Parents Need to Know
About 1,000 Places to See Before You Die
Parents need to know that this series -- which is based on Patricia Schultz's bestselling book of the same name -- captures the beauty, diversity, and cultural vibrancy of about 100 of the places featured in the book. Viewers are exposed to the geography, history, and people that make each place unique, and they'll gain a new appreciation for the world's vast differences -- as well as its underlying interconnectedness. This eye-opening series is great to share with kids of any age, but be prepared to answer questions about things like unfamiliar dress, cuisine, and living conditions.

Great Destinations except.....
I feel bad for Melanie because it looks like the Travel channel didn't pay for any food vouchers for her. She should take care of that anorexia before her next trip or she may wind up in a foreign hospital soon!!!!

Good Family Viewing
This show felt like watching a friend's home movies...which I enjoyed! I'm not very well travelled internationally so each episode is a learning experience for me. And I can't help but feel like the 2 "hosts" are seeing things in the same way that I would. It is different from most of the travel shows I watch in that I don't feel facts thrown at me, rather they ask the questions that I would ask if I were in their shoes. I feel very comfortable watching this show. I like it!!

Great concept and well done, but annoying couple ruins show
I really like the concept of this show. It seems like a great idea to have a show based on the book "1000 places to see before you die." The show in general is well done, with amazing scenery and very informative. However, when I watch the show I feel like I'm watching another annoying stupid reality TV show. I wish they had a real host on this show, or a least a couple that was a little more entertaining and a little less annoying. The girl sounds as is she is still a teenager using "like" in most of her sentences. In the end I just get annoyed wanting to hear more commentary and less of the annoying couple.

The locations are gorgeous, but feels a little like an infomercial
This review is based on the trip to Peru and Machu Picchu. If you are forunate enough to be like the hosts and be able to travel to these places releatively free, or if you happen to be wealthy, then you will thouroughly enjoy this show. But having travelled abroad myself (and having family members travel to many of these locations) it becomes evident that there is a lot of "promotional consideration" going on in many of the fine hotels and rail lines that were utilized in this adventure. Aside from having to have a tremndouse amount of money to share in the hosts' expreience, there is some great views and things to be learned about the world we live in. You may not be able to afford your own personal tour guide though. All in all, very good way to learn about our world and the great places we can visit. Suitable for all ages, at least 6+.
