Tune in on Tuesday

The world's best reality TV show (somewhat of an oxymoron, that) makes its triumphant return!

The Amazing Race opens with a (gasp!) 2-hour premiere on CBS this Tuesday at 8 PM Central.

We'll be taping it in the more-than-likely event that Colin will need at least some attention during the 120 minutes of out-and-out bliss. However, we will be strictly adhering to the "let-the-phonecall-go-to-voicemail" rule during the broadcast, so please don't worry if you can't reach us.

I don't generally get this geeked about TV, but this show is fun to watch. It's like Survivor, but instead of sitting on an island, the contestants compete in a worldwide scavenger hunt. Flight delays, gridlock traffic, car troubles, botched reservations, missed connections, language and cultural barriers - basically all of the complexities of modern travel combined in one show. And, usually, some pretty competitive people who backbite and fight all the way through it. Like I said, fun television.

However, the fun doesn't stop there: in the following week, you can read a recap of the show's high and lowlights that will appear at Television Without Pity, which is always amusing and enlightening. Everyone onboard the fun train! (Wow, am I a dork.)

Colin, for one, can't wait! (See, the baby's mentioned at least twice in this entry, rendering it valid to the blog....)
