see the USA from your couch

Lately I've been TiVo-ing a lot of shows that remind me of my friend Bean. There's one on PBS called "Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations" and one on the History Channel called "Weird U.S." Since he's a vegetarian, he would enjoy some but not all the foods on "Taste of America" on the Travel Channel and I can be fairly sure he would hate "The All-Star BBQ Showdown" on the Outdoor Life Network. I think Rachael Ray has another new travel/food show coming soon. By the way, has anyone ever made a TV show based on the "Roadside America" books?
