There were three (and a half) seasons that were on the Science Channel. The second season was the "Bucket List" season, and the third was a short season where Karl with Warwick Davis retraced Marco Polo's route.
They also re-aired all of the episodes with extra content in a series called An Idiot Abroad: Lost Luggage.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I first learned of Karl back when HBO aired The Ricky Gervais Show. I always had this suspicion that he was a secret genius and Ricky was too hard on him and never gave him the credit he was owed. Idiot Abroad had some really amazing moments, but watching him like...move and be human, almost ruined the mystery for me. I loved the show, but I think he really shines in mundane conversation. The more extreme the situation is, the more he reacts like any normal person would.
His first meeting with Warwick is fucking priceless though.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Well I also liked COD 3 (Because canada) and the assassins creed series.
Also Roadrash and the first 2 halos. Haven't played the rest.
But the one game that I remember with more nostalgia than anything else is MATH CIRCUS. Played it in school. Memories . . .

I used to play games on the Commodore 64 when games were incredibly hard/impossible. Probably half my games I never completed, some not even close. By today's standard games are a piece of piss.
Loved my C64, it taught me how to type, the basics of programming, appreciation for games, and how to love.
