Samantha Brown's Great Weekends Episodes
Boston: Off the Beaten Path
Samantha's skipping the history lessons during her weekend in Boston. There's plenty of great food and drink on the agenda, from local seaside favorites to brand new cocktails - and even an eating competition! Sam stays active too, with sailing, swing dancing, a Dragon Dance lesson, and an afternoon at the races.
Chicago: Second City No More
No longer America's 'second' city, this weekend Sam's exploring everything Chicago has to offer. From the delicious art of molecular gastronomy, to the improvisational comedy of Second City - can the Windy City teach this die-hard New Yorker a thing or two about cool?
Montreal: Cosmopolitan City
This weekend Sam is leaving the States to savor the international city on our doorstep - Montreal, Canada. Sam takes on the Canadian Oyster shucking champion, samples Quebecois-inspired poutine and plays cricket as part of her international experience.
Atlanta: VIP Weekend
Atlanta's called by many the Manhattan of the New South. Whether it's strutting the catwalk during Atlanta's fashion week, putting an Iron Chef winner to the test, or learning to throw a curve ball with the Braves star pitcher, Sam is treated like a V.IP.
Memphis: Making Music
This weekend Sam's getting a backstage pass to the best music, food and entertainment Memphis has to offer. She cuts her own track at the legendary Sun Studios, goes inside Graceland and searches for the next 'big thing' at a Battle of the Bands contest.
Santa Barbara: American Riviera
Sam's leaving her wine glass at home to explore the adventurous side of Santa Barbara. She conquers her fear of the ocean by trying the fastest-growing water sport on the planet, hunts for Oprah Winfrey at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch and asks Oprah's personal chef, Pilar Sanchez, to become a short order cook for some very hungry gorillas at the local zoo.
Savannah/Charleston: Scared to Death Down South
This weekend Sam's getting scared to death down South in Charleston and Savannah, where haunted jails, swarms of bees and creepy cemeteries await. Sam has the perfect scare package in store and dares you to come along for the ride of your life.
Maui: The Eco Show
This weekend, Sam experiences a first: she soaks up all the excitement of Maui without leaving a carbon footprint in the process. Sam Brown is about to go Sam Green!
Hawaii: Big Island
This weekend Sam's on the Big Island of Hawaii, exploring the cultural and spiritual pastimes of the real Hawaii. She gets up close and personal with rivers of molten lava, blesses a newly built outrigger canoe before it hits the high seas on its maiden voyage, and feasts her senses at the only authentic luau on a black sand beach. Sam is going Hawaiian in a way she's never gone before.
Minnesota: Sam vs. Wild
Bye-bye 5-star hotels, celebrity chefs and spa treatments, because this weekend Sam's heading out of her comfort zone and into the great white north. With temperatures of minus 10 degrees in the frozen wilds of Minnesota, Sam will be pushed to her limit in an extreme weekend of fun dog sledding and out of this world ice camping. Sam will be traversing forests and frozen lakes in the beautiful Kawishiwi wilderness; learning to drive her own dog sled, setting up camp under the stars, being dunked into icy water and falling asleep to the howls of huskies. There are no heated toilet seats or hot showers out here, just the great outdoors! After 48 hours just who will be the victor, Sam or the wild?
Christmas in New York
Samantha's home for the holidays in New York City. She's revealing the best Christmas lights in the area (hint: they're not in Manhattan), putting herself to the test with a dip in the icy Atlantic Ocean, making history with an all-male choir and meeting the people and places that make this city one of the best places to spend the holidays anywhere in the world.
Colorado: Fire and Ice
Sam lands in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado ready to turn into a snow bunny. She experiences a weekend of fire and ice as she skips between the Rocky mountain resorts of Breckenridge, Copper and Keystone.
Sam Does Sundance

Florida Keys: Road Trip
Sam's takes the top down on her convertible and hits the Florida Keys for a "throw caution to the wind" weekend with all the fixings. She's got her road warrior goggles on for the most fun possible in 110 miles of the Florida Keys.
Philadelphia: Philly on a Budget
Whoever said that a wonderful weekend has to break the piggy bank? Sam's heading to the City of Brotherly Love on a mission to keep costs down but the fun-factor high as ever. Whether it's getting a heavyweight boxing lesson from a husband and wife team, taking a nocturnal tour of the world's first penitentiary (hopefully sans the ghost of Al Capone) or smashing glass for a continuing arts project, Sam's sparing no expense when it comes to pure enjoyment.
Carnival Reunion Cruise
Sam's taking a cruise through the Caribbean -- and she's not alone. She's bringing her mom and four of her best friends aboard the Carnival Freedom for a fun-filled week at sea. Sam and her group make the most of their time together, with good times on board and on the islands of St. Thomas, Antigua, Tortola, Virgin Gorda and the Bahamas.
Sam Does Dallas
Samantha visits Dallas, the city where she was born. Everything's bigger in Texas, and this weekend she's livin' large, transforming into a Dallas debutante and wielding a 12-gage shotgun. Hang onto your seats for this non-stop, no holds barred adventure.
