Townsends - Cooking and living in the 18th century.

Food Wishes - This is a very popular cooking channel. Chef John has a very unusual speech pattern but I have become used to it.

Tasting History with Max Miller - This a cooking channel that features recipes and food from throughout history. If you have ever wondered what a Roman legionnaire ate before marching into battle, then this channel is for you.

RussiaPlus - Russia through the eyes of an upper middle class Russian citizen who has lived in the U.S., loves this country and Russia, and speaks perfect English. He and his wife are currently in the U.S. on vacation and had dinner yesterday in nearby Alexandria, Virginia. Watching the couple drive through a very rough Philadelphia neighborhood was embarrassing as an American. Garbage everywhere, drugs, etc. In most of the world, inner cities are clean, safe and affluent, while their worst neighborhoods are on the outskirts of town. Americans, as well as tourists, should be able to visit historic attractions in American cities without fearing for their lives.
