Samantha Brown Gets Kinky

Category: News/Review

Samantha Brown's new Travel Channel series is Passport to Great Weekends, where she continues her successful half-hour format (Passport to Europe and Passport to Latin America) with a new twist: weekend jaunts.

Her first two trips are Las Vegas and Austin. If you're a Kinky Friedman fan, do not miss the Austin episode. The legendary performer makes a quick appearance early in the show, and he's in typical Kinky form: smoking a cigar at 9 a.m. and responding to Brown's question about how he got the name "Kinky" by telling her his full name, complete with a bleeped part. There are also way too brief segments on the Austin music scene peppered throughout the episode.

The series airs frequently on the Travel Channel. Upcoming repeats are June 27 at 8:00 p.m., June 28 at midnight, June 29 at noon, and July 2 at 11:30 p.m. (all times eastern). A full list of air dates can be found at the Travel Channel's web site.
