Airs: Wednesdays, 10pm
Network: Sundance Channel
Hosted By Keith Johnson
What’s It All About? Talk about an envy-inducing job. Keith Johnson is a buyer-at-large for retailer Anthropologie, a job that has him traveling around the world in search of eye-catching, unique decorative objects, furniture and the like. As he visits everyone from flea market vendors in Paris to out-of-the-way craftspeople in India, he scouts out the unusual and works his wheeling-and-dealing magic, squeezing the best possible deal out of every situation. Although the show can’t help but be a shill for Anthopologie, its emphasis on travel — even TV travel of this nature — makes it reasonably horizon broadening, which is never a bad thing.
In the premiere episode, Johnson sets out for France to seek out large-scale furniture for existing Anthropologie stores, and for new locations soon to open in the U.K. On Oct. 14, he’s in South Africa, and on Oct. 21, in Turkey.

I found out about this show on one of the many blogs that I frequent, and I have programmed my DVR to record the whole series. This show is like Christmas to me.
What an Awesome show! I had 30 minutes to spare for one episode…ended up watching 4 episodes, then set my DVR for upcoming shows. Kevin, you should be a guest on my talk show.

I just recently found this show and I LOVE it. I can’t wait for the new season to start. It combines two of my favorite things, shopping and traveling. Keith definitely has the best job in the world.
