We’ve watched the first two episodes: Amsterdam, and Basque Country of Spain. We’re enjoying them for the exposure to new foods and places. Also silly jokes at the end of each episode.
I sometimes get tired of his bug-eyed enthusiasm, but I’nm still watching. I know some people really don’t enjoy his schtick, but that’s okay. If you don’t like him, you don’t have to watch!

What a coincidence! We were just talking about the new season here:
His shtick grew on me, and I adore his enthusiasm. Miss the ending where he would talk to his parents, tho

I love this quote of Phil Rosenthal’s from a recent interview with The Boston Globe:
“My attitude is if you put nice out there, you get nice back,” he says. “Some small act of kindness could change someone’s life.”
Truth.
Here’s The Boston Globe article in case anyone wants to read more (no gift link available, unfortunately).

Perfect quote. He’s darling.
Can’t imagine him holding a grudge against anyone, ever.

When I used the word schtick, I didn’t mean to imply that his enthusiasm and warmth are invented. One of the things I like about him is that he seems very genuine which is so rare lately. Anyway, it’s a very sweet show.
