Rumo ao Desconhecido

Do you remember when you were a kid and you saw Goonies or read about pirate treasure and you instantly started digging a hole in your yard? Well that magic is still alive in this show. Josh Gates is a great host and takes us on voyages to other lands and remote locations steeped in history. Sometimes it is chasing treasure and other times it is chasing a legend but it is always entertaining imho and a 'safe' enough show that I let my 6 year old watch it. After the first episode we watched together, she immediately started dragging me off the couch to go look for treasure at the creek behind the house (there is a vine hanging over that part and bamboo that makes it look more jungle like lol). She now has a metal detector that we go hunting with on the weekends and has even buried an arrowhead she found so that "Josh Gates can come here and find it". Very inspiring and hard to find that kind of magical adventure show. Sure, it can be formulaic and sometimes things are not found or the dig is still in progress but the show often updates when things are discovered. Please keep up the good work, Mr. Gates and thank you for creating another generation of adventurer :)

So happy Josh and co are back. Love the show. I look forward to his adventures and silly nature. Keep up the great work! Love all the info you uncover.. research that we as viewers would never know. Getting the local folks involved is a great way to learn more about a subject. I"m glad the show is strictly Josh an not a bunch of other tag a longs that have no personality like on destination truth. Josh is likable and makes the show fun to watch while learning about history. So far this season Robin hood was really fun to watch unfold! King Arthur was just as interesting. Genghis Chan.. not so much But I will keep on watching as I really enjoy the show. Travel Channel did itself a favor when adding Josh Gates to the lineup

I understand some of the lower ratings and their critiques. You get an appetite for answers and actually finding something significant and then....well I guess we'll never really know. Still....the show takes you to places and people that you may otherwise never encounter. It takes the time to provide cultural background and often rich historical information. My 13 yr old daughter loves learning from this show.....and most adults don't know much more than she does about many of the things covered in it. So it certainly isn't a waste of most peoples time. It's much more intellectually minded than most crap on TV today. Ya wanna tune out and watch reruns of Sienfield instead? Josh does well conveying facts while being entertaining. In this show, I think it keeps peoples attention to actually listen to the 'lesson'. Now I cannot say the same for his show 'Destination Truth' which is so very UNlike Expedition Unknown in every way. Don't even try going there. I will always look forward to EU though. To quell above 'the never find anything' complaints....it seems that, in this season at least, they do. We just saw a reconstruction of what 'may' be Cleopatra. An overall fascinating show with many learning opportunities. I much more enjoy Gates in this role than as ghosty guy selling tours of the local haunted house.

The production isn't quite as good as Cities of the Underworld but I still thoroughly enjoy this show. I've seen all the Cities of the Underworld episodes a few times so Expedition Unknown has replaced it on my DVR list as my Sunday morning coffee drinking show. Josh Gates being an actual Archaeologist makes it better for me as well. He really does have the best job in the world. He hasn't completely replaced my man crush on Don Wildman (I still watch Mysteries at the Museum) but it's close. Great show, and if the producers read this I am available to be an assistant (though my wife may not let me travel the historical world and leave her at home...she already nixed me volunteering for VetPaw, an organization for combat vets that fight poachers in Africa). Slight tangent there but yeah definitely a show worth a watch.

Have done a blitz on this series and I love it , the travel show showing that there is more than sun and sand , stunning cities and out of the way sceneries. the adventure part mixed in always hinting that you could find the missing treasure etc. josh gates is funny mixing bikes,cars trucks etc into his travel, showing that rent a car is fun and dodgy, he meets some amazing people all thinking they have the answer to the puzzle. mr gates does have a down side , he does push in like a little kid , iam the presenter main man way, well he is American,a bit cocky which makes you hope he breaks a leg , would be nice if he ever found anything but that's the adventure.
