TV The Detour [TBS]

[Flyn]

One of my friends told me to watch The Detour. It's a new show Mondays on TBS.

The show follows the adventures of a family, husband, wife, daughter, son, who set off on a trip to Florida. It's MA to the max. Don't want to add spoilers but, in the pilot, they stop at the Banana Creamery and the kids run inside to get ice cream. Turns out the Banana Creamery doesn't serve ice cream.

The show is sort of a combo of Married With Children combined with Vacation.

I was laughing my ass off during the first two episodes. Saving the rest for later.

Ive been watching it. Its quite hilarious. Im not gonna complain about Natalie Zea either.

Already renewed for Season 2. Season 2 will be 13 episodes.

I was reading an interview about the cast. Just before the scene where the parents are explaining the facts of life, the daughter's real life mom had to explain the facts of life to her so she would be believable in the scene. Too funny.

It must be hard to have your kid starring in an adult comedy. Where do you draw the line?

 

[IDAFC21]

So far i havent seen a line in that show.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, it's great to have your kid making the $$ and on TV but what are the long term consequences? Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus come to mind.

The daughter is 12 in real life and I would not want my kid in that environment. In episode 3, she's giving a breathalyzer a literal hummer. Can't be good for her development once she discovers what the writers are having her do.

Regardless, it's not my daughter and a hell of a show.

Ha Ha! Episode 4. "I killed Noonie!" I'll do anything. "Anything?" I'm not sucking you off. I'll give you a handjob.

 

[Flyn]

Holy crap and puke! That episode had it all. Makes Married With Children look mild. Best episode yet.

Montezumas revenge

"The Wedding" I thought I had seen enough that nothing startles me. Wrong.

This episode is so far over the line of good taste that disgusting is way too mild a term. I don't know how they get any sponsors for this show. Funny episode but be prepared.

Never put a baby in a russian.

Watched a marathon of this show on Memorial Day weekend.. Absolutely everything I need in a tv show!

 

[Flyn]

Good first season with a big teaser in the finale.

Looking for more of the same next year.

 

[IDAFC21]

Best quote of anything ever. "What the HELL is wrong with Florida???"

 

[rz79]

I feel like the dad character is doing an impression of Stu (hangover 1) the entire time and I'm not mad at him... At all.

 

[IDAFC21]

Its hard not to make the comparison. But it works.

 

[Flyn]

The writers slacked off the last couple episodes. I wonder if the sponsors complained? Hopefully they crush the good taste line again next season.

 

[IDAFC21]

to the 2 people that watch this show, I finally started up the new season and got caught up. Forgot how much i love this show

 

[Flyn]

Damn! I didn't know the 2nd season had started. Thanks for the heads up.

Stupid short programming seasons. It's hard to keep track of shows.
