Perhaps you’ve already seen the trailer for Gwyneth Paltrow & Mario Batali’s new series on PBS called Spain…On The Road Again. I previously had not, and I have to be honest, I think I’m going to love it, but I also have to admit that it looks like the most random TV show ever produced. Watch the video, or if you can’t, I’ve provided below a list of some of the things that appear in the trailer:

Mario Batali
Gwyneth Paltrow
Mark Bittman (author of How To Cook Everything)
Claudia Bassols (Spanish actress, recently shot a movie called Full Love directed by Jean-Claude Van Damme)
The sensual eating of a cookie dipped in chocolate
Gwyneth speaking Spanish
The biggest knife I’ve ever seen
Willie Nelson

Iron Chef Spain
Gwyneth describing clams as “gorg”
Frank Gehry
Driving in convertibles
Gywneth referring to Mario Batali as “Batalz”
The show is called Spain…On The Road Again
Michael Stipe

I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. (This is probably what the one sheet for the show looked like. Mario’s agent took the list, hand-scribbled by Batali himself, to a producer at PBS and they immediately said “YES!”)

I AM GOING TO LOVE THIS SHOW.*

*People might hate Gwyneth, but I love her. It might be because people used to tell me I looked and sounded like her. What. It’s true. Go to hell.
