flb1990 Over the last few months, I have become obsessed with Louis Theroux and his documentaries. However, as much as I've enjoyed his recent programmes, Weird Weekends is still his Magnum Opus.Theroux is an endearing screen presence, not to mention intelligent, funny, articulate and attractive. During WW's 3-season run, he had covered a number of interesting subjects ranging from porn to demolition derby. His non-judgemental attitude and willingness to take part makes him one of the best documentarians working today.My favourite WW episodes are:Looking for love Gangster Rap Black Nationalists Body building Professional wrestling Off-off Broadway Informercials SwingersHell I pretty much like all of them!I hope Louis decides to do another series next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first series. He'll have his work cut out for him though trying to find another weird subculture to explore. Especially considering there are now channels devoted to extraordinary human interest stories (e.g. TLC).

satanenterprises This show is a unique and highly enjoyable experience. His interviewing style is not only hilarious to watch, but very effective at getting people to expose their most blunt and inner secrets. This means that each episode is not only a learning experience but laugh out loud funny.This also often results in some pretty intense scenes where people reflect on their often sad lives. At this point they either get mad at him, dismiss him, or take it on board. Usually they will simply dismiss or get mad which can make the show a little depressing at points. I would say this makes the humour more appealing to fans of shows like The Office and other British comedies, but also funny for and American audience because of Louis naive character.

commking I have to agree - This is a gem. Where he finds these people I don't know, but there is nothing else quite like Louis.There was a two DVD set available in the UK - not sure if it's still available, contains for episodes along with some extra's. It's worth chasing.

Ducktape-2 I'm really surprised that nobody has left any comments on here yet. Really, this show is one of the best ones on T.V. right now. He gets involved with the most outrageous American situations and exposes their stupidity. I know, nothing new, right? But the way he does it is amazing! Unlike Tom Green or any other comedian going out for laughs, he doesn't make himself look stupid. He adapts to his environment and makes the people in it look idiotic without letting them know that they're being portrayed in a bad light. He can do one episode on a White Supremacy camp one day and another about a Black Power group in New York City the next. He really must be one of the best and most interesting reporters in world today.
