squidsdc Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Has anyone but me seen this show? I've been meaning to post about it and really can't believe no one has mentioned it! There are only 6 episodes, and they can all be found on the PBS website, if no longer available on the tube. I highly recommend it. When it began, I was hesitant to get involved as I thought it would be another Bourdain-type tour of food places. But Phil won me over. He is charming and endearing, and the show is enjoyable to watch. Even when seeing him go to places I've seen on other shows, he puts his own spin on it. Sorry that the series is over, but maybe they'll repeat it on another PBS station... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It is great! If you have the PBS app you can watch it for now on that. He has the Everybody Loves Raymond quirk, and I really enjoy the show. He just seems to have a way with people. I always like new travel shows. I was really sad that Destinations is no longer recording new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIShGo Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I stumbled upon it the other night, and really enjoyed it! I recorded the Los Angeles episode, but haven't watched it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam23 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I enjoy the show but personally find Phil a bit painful. But then again I never liked Everybody Loves Raymond either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that was actually one of my hesitations to watching it in the first place-I was never a fan of that show. But he caught me by surprise.

bookluvingbabe Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I watched the Paris episode and recorded the others. Meh. It's kind of cute but it gets old pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Interesting content delivered by annoying host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I loved the Italy episode where he kisses the guy. He is annoying, I agree, but it's an annoying I like. A genuine sort of annoying. It's like watching a five year old with adult diction and lots of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
