I think my favorite new show on television right now isn't exactly new -- it's in its 4th season, in fact -- and isn't that easy to find -- it's on the Fine Living Network, which is one channel higher than the Food Network on DirecTV, but I do wonder how I missed out on such a fine program, which features a guy named Zane Lamprey traveling the world to find places to drink. It's called Three Sheets and it's basically a beer lovers' delight (and pretty much any other alcohol you love), along with an interesting travelogue and some wholesome comedy fun -- because getting wasted in foreign cities is fun for the whole family! Like how much Guy Fieri must eat in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I do wonder how much Zane must drink on the job and how he can stay somewhat sober and upright until the end of the episode(s), which usually conclude with a day-after hangover "cure" but it's hella enjoyable to watch and live vicariously through. I don't like to travel, but if ever there was a reason, it would be for this. Watch the episode in Munich during Oktoberfest below and see what I mean.
Man, never heard of Three Sheets but it does sound like a fun watch.
Kind of off topic but Guy Fieri is a douche. Long story short is that I had the MLB Extra Innings for Directv last year for fantasy basebball reasons (ya, I'm a nerd) and was watching a Royals game when the field reporter was interviewing Guy Fieri in the stands. He was a complete asshole answering questions with one word responses and then has the nerve to answer a phone call during the interview. IT'S FUCKING LIVE TELEVISION you spiky bleached tipppped prick! Not to mention, what exactly has that sack of excrement done for our society besides fuel the desire for sloth. Sorry about ranting but I feel better now.

Really?! Haha, I love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and he seems very likable there, but wow, that is a dickish move.
