On Tuesday 7th July at 8pm (PT) NBC added the eight-episode “Great American Road Trip” reality show to its summer lineup. The hour long pilot, produced by BBC Worldwide and hosted by comedian Reno Collier, featured seven families of four battling their way across America, from Chicago to Los Angeles, on historic Route 66.  If you missed the first episode you can logon to the NBC website to catch the rerun.
Along the way the families must complete a series of challenges in order to avoid elimination and stay in the running for the $100,000 grand prize. The first family to be eliminated were the Katzenberg's from Westport, Connecticut. Reno Collier commented on the show recently, “This show is a blast. I’m having the time of my life. We are checking out everything from the Grand Canyon and Wrigley Field to the world’s biggest bottle of ketchup. Seriously, what’s better than that – I love ketchup.”
Viewers can get involved with the show through the specially designed NBC website which includes the soundtrack to drive your parents nuts, as well as various wallpapers and widgets for your PC or laptop.
The program format is similar to that of the Amazing Race “Family Edition” and certainly looks like it will include as many thrills and spills as Robin Williams, and his dysfunctional family, in the riotous film “RV”.
