Throw out your TV! Cancel your Netflix subscription! Crush the Victrola! There are two gopher brothers in a van and they’re digging America because they can–and they will fulfill all your entertainment needs. While driving cross-country, Wilson and Ditch sing–both in their eco-fuel powered VW Camper Van and at stops like the Grand Ole Opry–and tell excellent bad jokes and much more. So far they’ve visited Philly and Nashville. Rapid City is up next.
Now, don’t be put off by the whole it’s-on-PBSKids.org thing. Wee ones will enjoy it but you, you smart funny travel-loving thing you, you’ll looooove it. Wilson & Ditch Digging America is the best travel show ever. Created by The Jim Henson Company, it’s Up meets Ken Burns’ The National Parks blended with a dash-and-a-half of a Mel Brooks musical. But, really, Ken and Mel have nothing on the gopher brothers. The GoBros are from Eastern Europe. And they don’t wear pants.
When you said Eastern Europe the first thing I thought was “We’re two wild and crazy gophers!”
Yes! They totally have a bit of Steve Martin to them. Ah, Steve Martin. (Focus, Jenna, focus. Throwing Steve Martin thoughts into my day is a surefire way to throw me off the to-do track.)
