How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Show
Amazing Race: Cousin Oliver Edition
Ok, maybe it isn't cool, but I am a huge fan of the Amazing Race. Having caught the travel bug after law school, I look forward to taking trips to unusual places and like the excitement and 'drama' of having teams race around the world. But like everything else, in an attempt to expand the franchise, they go and muck it up. In this case the annoucement that the Amazing Race 8 will be a family edition that will include children 8 years and over.
Where the hell are they going to send these folks? No more brick making in Calcutta, but perhaps stops at Disney World, Euro Disney, Tokyo Disney and Disney Land. How boring. Remember when 'Vegas tried to go family friendly? It bombed. This will too.
