Exploring the World Without Leaving Your TV

bryan_safi
Do you believe you can learn everything about a foreign culture simply by watching its TV shows? Then you'll love Terry Snash (Bryan Safi), aka the "TV Traveler." In this week's episode Terry ventures to Turkey without ever leaving his couch. By immersing himself in Turkish talk shows, news programs and sitcoms, Terry uncovers "fun facts" about Turkey that you won't find in any reputable guidebook. For example, did you know that there are Turkish versions of "Star Trek," "Superman" and even "The Jeffersons"? It's true! (Even if most of what Terry says, well, isn't.)

infoMania is a half-hour comedy show that airs weekly on Current TV. Picture the ultimate office water-cooler, only with funnier co-workers who willingly stay up late imbibing all forms of media so you don't have to. Caveat: Bring your own water. Hosted by Brett Erlich and co-starring Sergio Cilli, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman and Bryan Safi, infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.
