DVD Reviews of 1,000 Places To See Before You Die: Collection 1
DVD Review: Loved it! Others are overly critical of the couple
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this show when it was on TV and am probably going to buy it for Christmas for my parents. I loved it! It was a great introduction to some beautiful sites around the world and I can't wait to share it with my family. It will be a great way to expand the world of my younger siblings who have not traveled more than a couple states away from their home.
The others who posted about the hosts being boring or ill informed must be hard core international travelers or possibly even just hard core Travel Channel watchers to have been so horribly disappointed. I felt another opinion had to be added here to balance them out.
There is a narrator and there is the couple who won this opportunity. THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL HOSTS and nothing was scripted for them. I thought the narrator did a great job with the more technical travel information and I thought the couple reacted to the experiences similar to how I would have in their situation. They seemed to make an effort to be respectful of everyone involved in their tours and often seemed like they endeared themselves to their guides with their enthusiasm (although this could have been fostered by the camera crews and influx of money and publicity the show would bring).
Their actions probably fit the uncultured American stereotype but I can't see how they could have had enough preparation time for every location with the whirlwind tour to satisfy the critical reviewers out here. If I ever scraped up the money to visit even one of these locations I would plan for 6 mo to a year and certainly would not be able to travel in the extravagance they had. But that is what makes it more fun to watch! Even with all the planning and research I am sure I would have plenty of American tourist stereotype moments like asking "who is their most dangerous predator" about a pack of elephants. Of course its humans, but you try to think of something witty to talk about at location after location.
The Discovery Channel could have planned in some preparation time for each location and even provided some study materials to the couple, and I guess based on the negative responses I would suggest they do that if they have another season of this.
