On Television

Hearing this comment frequently about Amazing Race.

Don’t even bother watching The Amazing Race Family Edition - it’s a crashing bore. First of all, they won’t be leaving North America, so basically one of the major draws goes right there. Second of all, the casting is hideous. I don’t know who came up with this idea at CBS (Phil intimates in his video diaries it was a CBS idea, and not a producers’ idea - and I don’t believe it for a second when he says “I think it’s great”), but whoever it was should be fired on the spot.
