Should You Take The Detour?

My answer is yes, try out The Detour tonight on TBS.  We need a few Chevy Chase-like comedies so we can laugh at the end of the day. And you can watch the first episode on Youtube.

Here is what to expect:

The Detour is a what-in-the-living-hell-is-wrong-with-this-family comedy created by comic super-couple Jason Jones & Samantha Bee and inspired by their own experiences with family trips. Jones stars as unfiltered dad Nate, who hits the road with wife Robin (Natalie Zea) and kids Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) and Jared (Liam Carroll). Every leg of their trip is fraught with disaster as they encounter one hellish turn after another. If there's trouble on the road, this family will find it and plow into it.

I was hoping Jason Jones would join his wife Samantha Bee on Full Frontal, but it was not in the cards for now.  Then again, we should count ourselves lucky to get two shows out of this talented couple, so I cannot complain.

Update: This "family comedy" has an edge to it. That's not a bad thing, but it may not be a show for the whole family. For example, pole dancing and urine tossing may not be appropriate for some (or many) viewers.  And the end of the episode reminded me of the criminal   investigation running through Showtime's The Affair. So let's just say it's a dark comedy that will take some time to adjust to, yet I am eager to see where the show is going.
