Into The Unknown with Josh Bernstein

Friday, August 29, 2008

Josh Bernstein has done it again. He’s created a new show, Into the Unknown, that is both entertaining and educational. I was a big fan of his show on the History Channel – Digging for the Truth. Now he has a similar style show on Discovery – Into the Unknown.  I do miss the Indiana Jones style hat.

What I like about Josh’s show is that he’s very respectful of the cultures and religions he’s exploring. He’s also very respectful of the history that he is exploring – and he looks good in a kilt (see the Roman Gladiator episode). 😀  It seems he’s not afraid of showing that he dosn’t know something. And he always seems interested in what his interveiwee are saying. And he doesn’t seem to ask stupid questions or “dumb down” the program.

I was very disappointed when Josh was replaced with Hunter Ellis. Hunter just didn’t have the right stuff for the show. He did a really interesting show on the Huntley, but the show just didn’t have a spark. I’m very pleased that Josh has a new show digging into the unknown truths.
