I was forced to watch a few episodes of this with my old girlfriend like 15 years ago. For some reason I saw the series available online and watched the first episode from the beginning of the 4th Season... I had to watch it all and go on the roller coaster. My heart was taken back on several occasions on how I really miss Manhattan and the life experience. Coincidentally I lived in New York City when this was airing and so much if it reminds me of my time I spent in New York in my 20's. So much reminds me of what it was like to live in NY, the friends you make, the City, the expectations, love life, living and just struggling for success. The casting and acting is amazing. To me its stood the test of time. The subject matter is still relevant today. The City has changed a little but not that much that if you went back to Bleecker Subway stop or Dean and Delucca's... it's still the same, the experience is still similar. I recall so may friends carrying their luggage on the street, just as Felicity does at theme song start. The cast brings is all together. There isn't one string that I wasn't interested in. There isn't a weak link in the thread. The writing and directing holds back on making Felicity or other characters emotional to their credit. Just when you think she should lose it or others should lose it they have a talent for developing the drama without the tears or shouting... the dialogue is brilliant. And the music is amazing. This is now my all time favorite TV Drama ever.

Great Show
27 May 2013
Very well done cooking, traveling, and current news programing. Antney does an excellent job introducing us to so many different types of foods, cultures, locals, et al. He really entices me to try all of these things and travel to all of these different places. He is excellent at bringing in a local and hanging out with them as though they were just good friends. You can tell he is authentic because it doesn't look like he's trying to hard. Bravo Antney... Impressive that CNN also brought this into their network and put a news spin on it... Very Very well done. I caught a few shows in a row on Libya, Burma, and LA Korea Town. All of these were fantastic. I was amazed that one person wanted to take Antney to Sizzler and he still went... shows that he is really listening to the locals no matter what they want to do. The Libya program and Burma were just amazing... a cook going around war torn areas... amazing.
