Season 1 episodes (12)

1 The Pilot
4/11/16
Season-only
Nate, Robin and the kids are headed from Syracuse to Ft. Lauderdale in a janky mini van instead of flying. Between truckers, aggressive drivers and road side breakfast spots, nothing is really what it seems on the road.
2 The Hotel
4/11/16
Season-only
Having driven their van, 'Blue Thunder', into a ditch, it has to be repaired over-night. The Parkers stay at a nearby motel, Swift Stay Suites. What could possibly go right?
3 The Tank
4/18/16
Season-only
The Parkers are barely back on the road when Nate gets pulled over for driving under the influence. He's completely sober but somehow there's still some jail time involved.
4 The Restaurant
4/25/16
Season-only
Back on the road, the Parkers begrudgingly stop to eat at a nauseatingly culturally insensitive roadside restaurant and dinner theater called Conquistadors.
5 The B & B
5/2/16
Season-only
While the kids recover from acute food poisoning, the Parkers decide to get some rest at a southern B&B. They are treated to southern hospitality, southern customs and Russian vodka.
6 The Wedding
5/9/16
Season-only
Instead of getting back on the road, Robin agrees to marry the southern gentleman Dr. Rob and his Russian bride but soon realizes that something is very, very, very, very wrong.
7 The Road
5/16/16
Season-only
Blue Thunder is stuck in traffic. Nate and Robin take a stroll down memory lane about how they met and the kids learn an important lesson in 'too much information'. Seriously. Too much. Stop telling us all this.
8 The Drop
5/23/16
Season-only
Nate needs to take a detour to Salvation, Florida where it's Christmas every day of the year - except on Christmas. Things get tense when the family discovers that Nate has been lying to them in addition to the fact that they are being followed by 'government goons'.
9 The Track
5/30/16
Season-only
The Parkers finally make it to Ft. Lauderdale only to have Nate's plan of getting his job back completely unravel. Fortunately, at a nearby race track, there is hope.
10 The Beach
5/30/16
Season-only
Nate, Robin and the kids attempt to take down Nate's company in epic whistle blowing fashion. It won't be easy, but if there's one thing we've learned about this family is that they don't give up without at least a punch to the throat and maybe a cheap kick to the groin.
101 Sneak Peek
3/28/16
Check out a sneak peek of The Detour, Season 1.
102 Behind the Trip
4/4/16
Jason Jones and Natalie Zea discuss their roles as Nate and Robin Parker, casting for the show, and what inspired the idea behind this unfiltered comedy that doesn't pull any punches about family life on the road.

About this show

I did not download the show but I have watched it on TV. I loved this show. All three seasons are great. Just wish it was on DVD so I can add it to my collection

Just watched the 5th episode (just started the series yesterday)...how are they going to top "the B & B". Very funny, actually "Laughing Out Loud", one of my new favorites!

If you have kids, totally funny. Just not for little kids to watch.
