Narnia Now I understand some of the lower ratings and their critiques. You get an appetite for answers and actually finding something significant and then....well I guess we'll never really know. Still....the show takes you to places and people that you may otherwise never encounter. It takes the time to provide cultural background and often rich historical information. My 13 yr old daughter loves learning from this show.....and most adults don't know much more than she does about many of the things covered in it. So it certainly isn't a waste of most peoples time. It's much more intellectually minded than most crap on TV today. Ya wanna tune out and watch reruns of Sienfield instead? Josh does well conveying facts while being entertaining. In this show, I think it keeps peoples attention to actually listen to the 'lesson'. Now I cannot say the same for his show 'Destination Truth' which is so very UNlike Expedition Unknown in every way. Don't even try going there. I will always look forward to EU though. To quell above 'the never find anything' complaints....it seems that, in this season at least, they do. We just saw a reconstruction of what 'may' be Cleopatra. An overall fascinating show with many learning opportunities. I much more enjoy Gates in this role than as ghosty guy selling tours of the local haunted house.

Ben Dover Josh can be entertaining but the show desperately needs to find something or at very least add something to the subject matter. Also, has anyone ever noticed in the beginning during the setup from Josh's office every paper article he holds is torn from the newspaper or magazine? They all have ridiculously jagged edges. Has this guy ever heard of scissors? C'mon...who does that?

cherie-326-886414 I wanted to like this, as it promised high adventure in search of historical artifacts, the host seemed engaging, and at first glance, it looked like fun. I especially hoped, though, to learn something. Unfortunately, the host's charms quickly wear thin as he reveals more and more of his insipid and shallow personality. He seems far more concerned for his image as "adventurer" than much else. For an archaeologist, his level of awareness as to the actual value, or reasons for it, of the targets of his "adventures" seems woefully inadequate to this viewer. Add the extended hype to little or no real end, and this show falls much flatter than need be, catering to the lowest common denominator of the viewing audience. I had never heard of the "Amber Chamber", and stuck with the episode in hopes of some payoff, only to be disappointed. I may sift through remaining episodes on topics of particular interest to me to see if there's anything new up for discussion, but in spite of the show's flaws, not because of any special merit. I'll be holding my nose the whole time.

headgie So happy Josh and co are back. Love the show. I look forward to his adventures and silly nature. Keep up the great work! Love all the info you uncover.. research that we as viewers would never know. Getting the local folks involved is a great way to learn more about a subject. I"m glad the show is strictly Josh an not a bunch of other tag a longs that have no personality like on destination truth. Josh is likable and makes the show fun to watch while learning about history. So far this season Robin hood was really fun to watch unfold! King Arthur was just as interesting. Genghis Chan.. not so much But I will keep on watching as I really enjoy the show. Travel Channel did itself a favor when adding Josh Gates to the lineup
