Season 1 episodes (12)

1 The Pilot
4/21/16
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
4/28/16
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
5/5/16
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
5/12/16
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
5/19/16
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
5/26/16
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
6/2/16
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
6/9/16
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
6/16/16
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
6/23/16
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
4/11/16
Season-only
Check out a sneak peek of The Detour, Season 1.
102 Behind the Trip
4/18/16
Season-only
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
