Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! This is my response to television. Since I haven’t owned a tv since 2005 I don’t know what I’m missing. I have been content with this until I heard about this show called Man Shops Globe. It combines two of my favorite hobbies: travel & shopping (yes, as cliche as that sounds, shopping). Keith Johnson, buyer-at large for Anthropologie, searches all over the world for unique pieces for the store & this show chronicles his journeys. I was devastated to find out it was only on the Sundance Channel, but I was determined to watch it for free on my computer monitor! I was 50% successful & found that the entire season is available at the itunes store for a mere $13.99. No need to call the cable company folks! Even though, it wasn’t free, I more than got my money’s worth. Despite the fact it rests in the “reality tv” genre, it has zero crying & cast member spats. It’s quite grown up. In fact, Keith is almost borderline boring at times, but I really don’t mind. I am too busy coveting the merchandise as he strolls through the French flea markets & Turkish bazaars. Best of all, each episode wraps up with a blurb of how each product was incorporated into Anthropologie. I guess I’m still not missing out as long as I have friends who keep me informed!
