So we went looking for more travel shows on Amazon Prime in the USA, and the 'Footloose in' series came up. It's a husband-wife team- she presents the show, he does most of the filming and occasionally appears on screen. While they very much have their own point of view and tend to go a little more in depth in one place than cover as much ground as Rick does over a season, there's a certain 'if you like Rick, you'll probably like the Rixons too' and when I search Amazon's web site to see if I've missed some of their shows, a bunch of Rick episodes show up further down the search results.

The production values on their show are a lot better than you'd expect from the c. 1999 web site.
