We are re-watching Michael Palin go "Around The World in 80 Days"
August 07, 2010
Right now, I'm watching British actor Michael Palin go "Around The World in 80 Days" again.
His travels are on four old video tapes we discovered while re-arranging our basement and wondering if our antique video tape machine still worked. My wife who can better manage the three different remotes in our entertainment center figured it out. This opened a VHS tape world of many movies we haven't seen in years.
Our family was introduced to Palin when the shows were first on PBS. On Saturday nights when our kids finished their baths we would watch an installment of his travels on the tapes we purchased.
The episodes are a prequel to today's Amazing Race, but done with a 1980's edge. Well, he's just leaving Cairo and it's time to get back to the show. It's definitely not time to take the tape machine and tapes to Goodwill.
