Published: March 11, 2024, 5:51 p.m.

There was a time, believe it or not, when the channel Bravo was willing to pay for some \u201ccelebrities\u201d and a camera crew to get out of their comfort zones, go on various excursions around the world, and watch the sparks fly as they bicker, backstab, and try to make \u201creality\u201d look fun for the audiences back home. That time was 1991. Those celebrities were John Lurie, Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Matt Dillon, Willem Dafoe, and Dennis Hopper. They made 6 episodes. \xa0Bravo never explored this format further.
