Thank you Josh and gang for making history and myth entertaining and fun. You show has helped me get a number of people young and old interested in history again! Keep up the good work! Enjoy the humor, even the silliness. Respect the enormous amount of planning necessary to pull these shows off. Wish you could cut down on the ads a bit but guess someone has to pay for the on site filming and all the travel, yes?

Interesting travel scenes, since required being a travel show for "Travel Channel", but, wow, same familiar TV formula... several minutes of pre-fill at start; re-due same last two minutes again when return from commercial cut; (hey, just like History channel, etc.!), and redundancy recipe continues in not having content.
Is a show about traveling to a place in follow-up on conjecture/leads (at what expenses? Great work to get, but not an actor/"archaeologist." Besides my teeth aren't bleached white enough, for Indiana Jones jungle work). And, never any content.
So, the story is about everything else... the bones that turned out to be cow bones. The plane wreckage, that's of another WWII crash site (and known diver site, but do pay to run a sonar camera over site anyway), crossing scary bridges...which were just made by crew (Thanks Bear Grylls!), or he would be so safety roped up upon crossing.
Oh and why are most searches, especially in a jungle, at night...and use burning palm fronds for light(?) Humm... (they do have these thing called flashlights and portable construction LED lights). More phony fill. More everything but the obvious. But,,, show is still running, current people mentality still paying. Of course they are.
Hum... me thinks I'll do a show about... looking for ghosts...but never find anything. Probably get 50 seasons. Or, maybe just looking for people's lost senses. Anyone interested in paying for my travel?

I've watched some episodes of this show, and it seems that like all the other shows with the same premise, whatever it is the host is looking for never, ever gets found. Yeah, there's great scenery, and lots of interesting information, but it becomes very irritating, show after show, when there is never any payoff. "Reality" TV is such BS anyway; I'd rather they just present it as a documentary.

The production isn't quite as good as Cities of the Underworld but I still thoroughly enjoy this show. I've seen all the Cities of the Underworld episodes a few times so Expedition Unknown has replaced it on my DVR list as my Sunday morning coffee drinking show. Josh Gates being an actual Archaeologist makes it better for me as well. He really does have the best job in the world. He hasn't completely replaced my man crush on Don Wildman (I still watch Mysteries at the Museum) but it's close. Great show, and if the producers read this I am available to be an assistant (though my wife may not let me travel the historical world and leave her at home...she already nixed me volunteering for VetPaw, an organization for combat vets that fight poachers in Africa). Slight tangent there but yeah definitely a show worth a watch.
