Three Sheets is Coming Back with More Libations



If you're a fan of the cable TV series Three Sheets, then you know that Zane Lamprey's show has endured quite a roller coaster ride since its humble beginnings.  If you've never heard of Three Sheets, then let me fill you in. 

Three Sheets is a drinking travel show hosted by comedian and everyone's drinking buddy Zane Lamprey.  Mix drinking customs and related history from around the world with pub crawling and cavorting, and you've got the idea.  In other words it's awesome!  History because it's good for you, and drinking because it feels so good...all wrapped up in one package ready for you to enjoy.  The show first aired on the early HD network MOJO.  When MOJO went belly up at the end of 2008, Three Sheets had aired 3 seasons and the 4th was in production.  Fine Living Network picked up the series in 2009 and aired the new 4th season as well as the earlier episodes.  Then, Scripps Networks, the owner of Fine Living as well as the Food Network, decided to rebrand Fine Living into the Cooking Channel starting in June 2010 and Three Sheets was dropped like a rock.  It's not a cooking show, after all.

So, here we are.  Fine Living is now the Cooking Channel and Three Sheets is off the air.  But it's coming back soon!  SWEET!!!  Scripps Networks recently bought the Travel Channel (which must have pissed Anthony Bourdain off to no end) and thank goodness somebody over there at the Travel Channel had the good sense to add Three Sheets to their line-up.  No word yet on when season 5 will go into production, but we'll spread the word once we get it.

In the meantime, Zane Lamprey is on the road all over the U.S. doing his Drinking Made Easy Comedy Tour and is shooting a Drinking Made Easy TV show for HDNet.  The comedy tour runs through July.  For dates and locations, head here.  The show is supposed to air on HDNet beginning in September.
