Storyline
This is a program that examines interesting and often odd locations, with interviews with an assortment of people, posing questions about places, events, seeming historical anomolies and curiosities all portrayed as mysteries being explained. While it purports to be a documentary of scientific examination, it is really just a sensationalist collection of scenes and narratives designed to lead the viewer to the erroneous conclusion that they are being presented with new scientific findings and explanations when, in fact, they are merely being entertained with half-baked theories, speculation, and little to no new scientific or historical information. Watch for such catch phrases like "It looks like..." or "It could be..." or "Maybe..." of similar phrases scattered liberally throughout the script. The programs are not a total waste of time; interesting and out-of-the-way locales are visited which have some scenic value. Remember: Sometimes some rocks and some dirt found in close ...

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.
