Article about a shortlived television show, not properly sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As usual, television shows are not "inherently" notable just because their own self-published production websites offer technical verification that they existed -- the notability test is the reception of third party media coverage about the show in sources independent of itself, to demonstrate that they have been externally validated as significant by virtue of having had attention paid to them by neutral and objective sources. But the only "source" here is its own (deadlinked) website, and on a ProQuest search for older coverage I'm not finding any non-trivial coverage about the show -- the overwhelming majority of what I'm getting is sources written by the host in her later role as a newspaper design columnist, which doesn't help.
And for added bonus, this article is so minimally written that I can't even subcategorize it for premiere year, ending year or what network carried it, which are pretty basic details that any article about a television series always has to contain. Bearcat (talk) 20:57, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I did find the show's Amazon Prime Video listing, and here's the producer's episode guide, which cite it was on from 2005 until 2008, and the archive of their website showed it airing on CNBC World, CTV Travel (now T+E) and WealthTV; the latter was infamous early in its history for taking a whole lot of vanity projects (which have been consistently deleted here in the past), as long as the producer paid them off, and the show was in HD. So I suspect this is just generic travelogue programming meant to fill a half-hour and show off shopping malls, but in HD. Also note the copyright on their archive is "Cheryll Gillespie Media Group"...which suggests this is a downright advertorial where the host was compensated for many of the episodes to be in awe of certain places, so this is likely brokered programming.
