The Detour
Life has no safe word.
Created by Samantha Bee, Jason Jones
On TBS
A high-energy family sitcom that mines chaos and dysfunction for comedy while keeping genuine affection for its characters at the core.
A what-in-the-living-hell-is-wrong-with-this-family comedy created by comic super-couple Jason Jones & Samantha Bee and inspired by their own experiences with family trips. Unfiltered dad Nate hits the road with wife Robin and kids Delilah and Jared. Every leg of their trip is fraught with disaster as they encounter one hellish turn after another. If there's trouble on the road, this family will find it and plow into it.
