My Big Fat Greek Odyssey
The Good
You get to see lots of scenic Greek islands, meet interesting locals and immigrants, and learn things about the history of Greek civilization. Never mind that the islands do all basically look the same because our host, Peter, eagerly explains the unique qualities of each place. I'm reminded of the Thai phrase "same same, but different."
The Bad
The yacht Mia Zoi looks great, and with her twin 2,800 horsepower engines that use thousands of liters of fuel each day, why worry about climate change and global warming as long as you can satisfy your urge to get to every known inhabited Greek island and host a nifty travel show?
The Ugly
Lose the man purse and the neck turban Peter. I understand that your wife Helen probably gave you those for your birthday and that puts you in an awkward situation, but do you really need those things? When you've freed yourself from the unnecessary adornments, why not splurge and get a nose job and some laser hair removal for your arms and back, please. And last but not least, if I see you shoveling food into your mouth one more time, I will swear off eating forever.
I must be a glutton for punishment though, because I am actually looking forward to the seventh (and final) series when that comes out.
