A characteristic offering from cable's National Geographic Channel, this weekly reality series selected typical American families and whisked them halfway across the globe, transplanting them to faraway and radically different cultures. Neatly setting the tone of the series was its opening episode, in which a family from East Brunswick, NJ, spent ten days traversing the open fields of Kenya with the semi-nomadic Rendille tribe. Worlds Apart first aired on October 13, 2003.
