Anthony Bourdain visiting Palestine on CNN

[flamingdem]

for those on the West coast on now. Timely.

Turns out his mother is Jewish but he's seems to be an atheist.

1. rerun, but yeah, interesting timing

I imagine the episode will not be to many people's liking around here, though...

[flamingdem]

2. Why is that?

I think I know what you mean but I'm just tuning in.

3. has a lot of stuff israeli's do against palestinians that regular media often doesn't report on

[flamingdem]

4. Yes, it's good this is on

kudos to Anthony.

5. Watching.

Good timing and good non-religious outsider's approach.

6. The episode is actually from Season 2

Season 3 ended a few weeks ago. That episode was on months ago. They must be rerunning all the episodes from the beginning. No word on a Season 4, but I would think given the popularity of the show it will happen.

7. they do rerun a lot, but i think they did this one because of what is going on right now

usually the reruns are of the current season shows unless they are doing some long marathon type of thing like during holidays.

9. Makes sense

If they get more viewers it will mean better ratings for next season and more of a fix for me.

10. Season 4 starts airing this Fall

It's a great show, particular recommendations for the Mississippi Delta, Detroit and Congo episodes, as well as the Israel/Palestine show mentioned in this OP. All of them really good.

11. Thanks for the info

I hadn't heard that yet. Almost ALL my shows are starting in the fall. Right now it's like yeesh, I have nothing to watch. I'm not sure I want to take on yet another show.

8. We love his new show on CNN, it used to be on Travel Channel.....

he sure knows how to get to the "meat" of the region he's in. Love it.
