Anybody watch that new Summer show on NBC that premiered Sunday night?

What did folks think of it.

I thought it was an interesting concept.. Hope it gets better as it goes along. The scenery was pretty good.

Is this that one made from the directors/producers of the Da Vinci Code movie?

Care to give a brief summary on the concept of the show, and what they do for challenges etc.?

It was pretty much a combination of Amazing race and the Da Vinci Code.

Pretty entertaining show actually, with some fairly clever ideas.

yah reminded me of the Amazing race... I think its more long the lines of the movie Natinol Treaure than Divici though.. Teams travel all over and visit US landmarks looking for clues to find a Hidden Treasure worth "Millions". Clues are hidding in and around 7 national Landmarks... first episode had them go to Mount Rushmore to find a one of the 7 puzzle pieces.

Worst host of a reality show ever. They could have hired a robot and it would have had similiar delivery.

Primetime T.V. is overrated.

The mullets on that show were so awesome.

I loved the mullet guys. They were hilarious.

My favourite part was when they were at Mt. Rushmore, and they were looking in cracks and under garbage cans for clues. At one point one of them picks up a rock on the ground, thinking it must be a clue.

Those guys are a train wreck waiting to happen. Personally I hope they stick around for a while, because that much stupidity makes for excellent television.

I was sitting there laughing by myself at their antics ... I was thinking these guys are so stupid but loveable almost ... then they got the geniuses to "ally" with them ... when in reality it was completely one-sided for them. Awesome!

Well, any team that calls themselves "geniuses" is just begging for bad karma. I laughed so hard when they went to Mt. Roosevelt, forgetting the fact that their answer was clearly wrong because it didn't explain all of the clues.

Then the interview with one of them saying "for these clues, we really have to dumb ourselves down a little bit." Riiiight.

Was I the only one who figured out they were going to Mt. Rushmore before they even knew?

I also figured out the combination way before anyone did.

I want to be on this show so bad!
