Travel channel is awful, part of the cable fee I'm paying and never anything on there anymore worth watching. That guy Zimmerman is on that channel eating disgusting bizzare crap or the other guy is eating himself to death or the stupid ghost shows are running every single time I try to watch. Most of this channel is about food and we already have food channels. We want travel info. Bring back Hotel Impossible and some of the shows actually traveling to places. Bourdain was your saving grace and he is, unfortunately, gone. Please clean up the Travel Channel and make it the great channel it used to be.

I've been a fan of the Dead Files since it started & I, like MANY others are annoyed when they try to pass off reruns as new episodes, when they are in reality they are old episodes with new annoying tweets from random people at the bottom of the screen. Its really annoying, make it STOP! If I wanted to hear what every moron on Twitter has to say, I would be on Twitter! This show was cool during seasons 3-7, the rest suck. Amy is more & more vague every show, with her favorite lines being "this is bad bad bad" or "I've never seen THIS before!" Whoop-de-DO! Pay me millions & I can stand there & utter more creative phrases than that! She needs to chill on the facial fillers too. Looking back at season 1 to now you can see the extent of it, she looks rubbery. Time to drop this show, they've had their day in the sun. Quit before its too late to save ANY credibility.

I was watching Bizarre Foods today and one of the hosts was a woman names Nicole Froelich. While talking about a butcher shop run by the Trump family, she makes it well known that she doesn't like our President of the United States. She went so far as to say he doesn't do a good job and I don't want to watch a channel that hates our president. Trump has and is doing a great job and if you can't see that then you are ignorant. I'm sick of hearing so much negativity. He may not be a people person, but at least he's not fake. Season 19 E 3

I have been a fan of all the paranormal shows that Travel Channel used to offer for many years. This past year I have noticed, as have friends and family that watch, how OLD the reruns are, how OFTEN they are repeated, and the worse part, how ALREADY shown shows are being listed as NEW on the channels guide! Really?
TC needs to step it up if you want to keep your 'paranormal' viewers around much longer, and there are a LOT of us out here. Just look at the viewer numbers on Destination America if ya need more 'inspiration'.

The Travel Ch will set out to promote some obscure hotel in Mexico under the title of the 10 best resorts in the World. The other 9 are and the #1 is mediocre. They pull this stunt all the time.

In the area of best beaches in the world they are very good, finding Ipanema in Rio consistently #1. Maybe it is harder for a beach to influence the ad department than some hotel.

I am a huge consumer and user of travel information so I am hyper-aware of bias. There are endless specials that end up promoting the gambling or alcohol industry.

One of the most reliable people on TV is Anthony Bourdain. Not just travel and food. Lets see how the Travel CH treated him. At every commercial break they warned women and children to beware of Bourdain's spicy language (No warning about ads for alcohol or gambling). They tried to turn him into a circus geek eating disgusting food in foreign countries. CNN had the good sense to let him write his own ticket, treat Bourdain with respect, and use his image to re-brand CNN as cool.

My wife and I both love topics of the shows, however; the back-ground music is so loud we can hardly hear what is being said. The loud music has become so irritating we look for other channels & programs to watch.
What are they trying to accomplish with such loud music that nearly overrides the narration? Very irritating

This is my place of travel. Every other day, I see a different story and travel tips that I applied in my own experience.
