Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
rob mackaravitz its unfortunate this was not released on DVD...im stuck hunting down VHS tapes and cable reruns.this show was by far one of the funniest shows ever....im not sure why it didn't have a lot more poularity than it did.EVERY EPISODE IS STUNNING.Gerhard's quests will never be matched, his great grand father will never be found, and Dr. Nelson Beard will "never know." This show is 1,000 times better than modern SNL episodes, it contends with south park and family guy in my opinion.10!
Alicia (cheesemmm) My husband and I caught this show late at night on Comedy Central and have been hooked ever since! I've even programmed it into my Tivo so that I can watch it every time it comes on. For some reason CC doesn't like to air this show at a reasonable hour, so I'm forced to record it. I know that doesn't help for the ratings of the show, but there's no other way for me to be able to watch it. My husband always talks about how he wants to go on trips with Gerhard. We both think that it would be very cool to hang out with the camera man while the show is being taped, just to see how it's all done behind the scenes.I love the humor of the writers and how Gerhard interacts with all of the people he meets! I highly recommend this show to anyone that loves true comedy! Good job guys! Maybe it'll come back some day, like Family Guy...
afternoonjazz I was lucky enough to catch an all episode marathon (read: 5) of this show a couple months ago on quite late at night. At first, I didn't know what to make of it but after seeing the Andes/Bolivia episode I knew that this had risen to my top ten TV show list. The show is in the "mockumentary" style of Christopher Guest's movies (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind) and Rob Reiner's Spinal Tap. The humor isn't always spot on, but the humorous repetition of certain gags is reminiscent of The Simpsons. I was quite surprised to see that the show was produced by the same people that produced Crank Yankers and The Man Show. Another commentator mentioned that there are obvious correlations in the humor, but aside from a couple genital jokes it's pretty clean and not as course as that of the other Comedy Central shows. If you're lucky enough to catch an episode, and appreciate dry, off-color wit, I'm sure you'll enjoy the show! I taped a couple of shows when I had the chance because it's not the easiest show to explain: you just have to see it. And those I've shown it to have been quite pleased!
ryan11179 Gerhard (Josh Gardner) plays a German man traveling the world and getting into interesting and funny situations. He seems to be on a tight budget so he is seen wandering (hence the name of the show). His German accent constantly makes me laugh and the censoring of his speedo is hilarious. This show may not be some people's "bag" but give it a chance, you'll like it.
