If I’m not watching sports or Family Guy, then odds are my TV is on the History Channel. I’ve finally decided to sit down and watch this show called “Cities of the Underworld,” and I’m very glad I did. I really like this show. Here’s a little synopsis from the History Channel’s website.

In major cities all around the world today, skyscrapers loom overhead, taxis honk their horns and street vendors peddle their wares. But below lays city upon city – each with its fascinating and unknown history. CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD explores these layers, which are often hundreds of feet deep, to examine a city’s ancient cisterns, dank dungeons, eerie tombs, clandestine hideouts, and even underground shipwrecks that have been lost for hundreds of years. How did (and do) engineers build layer upon layer up to today’s city streets? CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD reveals the technological marvels that allowed the construction of one city upon another – literally.

The only episode I’ve seen was last week when they explored the tunnels in underground Vietnam. It was so freaking cool. I knew that the Viet Cong used tunnels underground, but had no idea they were so elaborate and stretched for miles and miles. Tonight at 11:00, they’ll be exploring caves of Budapest where cavemen used to live. If you get the history channel you really need to check this show out.

Here’s a youtube video promo for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about.
