FOLLOW THE DRINKING GOURD: It says something about The Amazing Treasure Code Quest Hunt Thingy that I didn't set a season pass for it and missed the first ten minutes of it, and, yet, I really enjoyed it while I was watching again. To be sure, the lame parts (stiff narrator, ubiquitous product placement, relentless seriousness, African American team having difficulty in challenge involving following the Underground Railroad) remain annoying, but, damnit, I like the fact that unlike the Race, the clues are clues, and they're not easy. It's not great television, but it's a nice attempt to tinker with the formula.
Speaking of the Race, season nine winner BJ (the darker-haired hippie) did a chat with Philly.com today.
