My favourite new show in the last few years is "Departures". It's Canadian, about these two, average guys (who actually are from a city about an hour away from me) who leave their lives and travel the world.
It's just an amazing show. It's probably the best filmed show on television-- the cinematography is incredible. They go off the beaten path... hang with the locals... and really take time to get to know where they are. As they travel, they move from being friends to being almost like family.
I know, on some level, that this sort of thing will never happen for me-- mostly because of time, money, and the regular conventions of day to day life (and also because just picking up and leaving home is so not me-- 2-3 weeks away is my max!)-- but I want to do it more than anything.
Just taking off with one of my buddies to explore this world... I can't imagine anything better.
