Cancel coverage of "Palin's Amazing Race"
The pilot had an interesting concept...competing networks and news organizations hunt for clues in order to be the first to find the missing former governor from Alaska and be the first to air her newest comments on the same question.

Q: Are you running..blah, blah..?
A:Screech, blather,blather..!

There is danger everywhere! Negative press could mean elimination from the race, and being run over by the bus is always a possibility.

While the first leg of the race was exciting, it was simply the novelty of the pretty bus. (It's got the preamble and a flag! The public can't hate it!) But it quickly became obvious this show is nothing more than a bogus family vacation, complete with the Griswalds, set up to punk the media. This program plays to the small segment of American viewers who find joy in watching paint dry and listen to Limbaugh repeat the same crap day after tired day.
Lame, indeed. Not recommended. Not suitable for viewers with brain cells.

Viewers are quickly tuning out and demanding quality programming to replace this insult to their intelligence. Media, are you listening?

1. Can we skip ahead to the episode where tempers flare and the whole family yells at each other?
