The Detour

I came here looking for S4 info and thought I'd give my 2 cents. This show is definitely raunchy and twisted. If you're cool with that, then check out at least a full episode. I read other reviews making comparisons that I don't exactly see. Here's my comparison that others may not see. The level of crass and political incorrectness is similar to IASIP. The style is completely different however. (Nothing can really top Sunny for me). If you are a fan of IASIP, this will probably entertain you.

The kids in the show are very likable. I find most kids on TV to be "white noise" but not these two. However, I would not let kids watch this show. Watch first to make that call for yourself. And Jason and Natalie are really fun to watch!

I disagree with some opinions of S2. That was the absolute best season for me. S3 was a little weak although I loved the setting. I just read a Jason Jones interview that sounds like S4 has a lot of potential!

Random trivia: A lot of season 1 was filmed around Atlanta. (i.e. Salvation, Florida on the show is actually Stone Mountain.) Pretty cool for this GA girl here.

I ran across this title over the internet and thought it was a movie. I then saw it was a TBS original and had second thoughts about watching it. (I live outside the US and don't have TBS.) I reluctantly watched the pilot episode and trust me when I tell you this, if you have any sense of humor, you will love this show.

One critic who is Russian absolutely murdered this show. It just goes to show how some people watch TV/MOVIES and think that everything should be true to life. It's said that this story is based on the real life couple's own experience with family vacations. That makes it even better.

This is reminiscent of the VACATION movies, but I think it has a much better feel to it. The one liners are incredible! You'll have to watch it twice to catch everything, but it is SO worth it.

This is my first review because I feel it's completely merited. From the looks of it, it may have been scheduled for at least 2 seasons. I think this has a chance to go for at minimum 3. But, we should wait to see how the first season turns out. The promos look promising.

GIVE THIS SERIES A CHANCE, it's quite the laugh. I've watched the pilot 3 times and keep laughing.

The children in the series are spectacular.

I hope everyone jumps on board for this ride. So far, I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. haha 8/10

The first two seasons are great, the third season is ok and the last season is pretty horrible. Overall a nice comedy that will make you laugh many times even though you might have trouble following the story that jumps all over the place.

The chemistry between Natalie Zea and Jason Jones is excellent even though kids are a bit annoying.

Also a lot of nice scenery between seasons as our characters travel to places like Florida, Cuba, Russia and Alaska throughout the episodes. Towards the end the story gets too weird but it's still funny and still gets the job done in terms of making you laugh.

I love this show. It's so quirky and you never know where it's going next. Great script. Great acting.

Obviously this show is NOT for everybody, and the humor IS adult in nature ( or indoors ) THAT'S WHY IT'S ON LATE! This show has me constantly laughing out loud, I applaud the writers, actors, and TBS for putting on such a fantastic, funny program! I NOW look forward to the former Death Valley that was Monday Night programming. If you're easily offended, and weekly there will be something that will offend SOMEBODY, DON'T WATCH, CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL! If this program has one chink in the armor ( yes I plagiarized that from the show ) it's only half an hour, but half an hour I WOULD NOT TRADE! Looking forward to all the new episodes!
