Post-Modern Pind/Patiala
Vir Das, Anu Menon, and Amogh Ranadive travel to Patiala to find out what the most alpha people in the country find funny.

And of course, there's butter chicken, gedi, rap, and a dhabha.
Heavy Reigns/Jodhpur
In the city of palaces, Vir Das takes two friends - an Indian who looks like a foreigner, Ashwin Mushran, and an American who looks like an Indian, Raj Sharma. What is it like to be a jester and make the king laugh? They go to meet the king, but God decides to rain on their parade. Literally. And of course, they do the touristy things like ride camels, eat local food, try local drugs. The usual.
Only You/Mysore
Vir Das takes Anu Menon and Manan Desai to Mysore, home of famous Mysore products like the dosas, the silk and the paks. But nobody knows anything about the city.

Captain, My Captain/Kumarakom
In Kumarakom, Vir Das takes Rohini Ramanathan and Suresh Menon on the backwaters of Kerala. Is Kerala ready to laugh after the terrible tragedy that struck the state?

Aaya Sher Aaya Sher/Lucknow
In the city of love and kebabs, and people who love to eat kebabs, Vir Das, Shruti Seth and Amit Tandon go to the place where comedy in India began. Not the clubs and bars of India's cities, but in the halls of hasyakavis and shaayars of Lucknow. Along the way, they learn to do the perfect aadaab, the tehzeeb, and Amit almost dies… Classic Lucknow.
Free Idiots/Leh
In the season finale, Vir Das, Ashwin Mushran, and Raj Sharma go to the one place that has more mountains than people. They almost reach Tibet, they hang with donkeys and they dance on the streets. What makes the people of the harshest region in the world laugh?

American Pickers
This isn't your grandmother's antiquing. The American Pickers are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner's land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person's trash into another's treasure. The show follows the team as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind – and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.
