Look, as you well know, there were so many shuttered TV shows this week, that’d we’d like to highlight some of the very few that got to stay alive for another cycle.
Both shows are at TBS and will remain there as their indie-leaning-comedy branding continues to get more and more sharpened.
TBS Gives The Detour a Third Season
We’ll get to embark on yet another leg of the lives and times of The Parkers as TBS, today, has given an official renewal for season 3 to The Detour.
With that, husband and wife comedy power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee seem like the new Prom King and Queen of TBS.
Despite everything they’ve gone through, the Parker family has stuck together just enough for a whole mess of trouble to come their way in another season of The Detour.
You can see things already unraveling in this clip.
The season 2 premiere of The Detour airs tonight at 10PM on TBS.
Jason Jones and his TV family are returning later this month to TBS for the second season of The Detour.
Hopefully, this trailer won’t spoil a whole lot if you haven’t seen all of season 1. So, watch at your discretion.
Season 2 of The Detour premieres on Tuesday, February 21st.

So far, the new TBS is into renewing early and we like it.
On top of getting see the series pilot for free on TBS’ YouTube page, The Detour just got picked up for another season before its series premiere next Monday.
With the extension of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee announced earlier this week, you can expect TBS to be in the Jason Jones/Sam Bee business for awhile.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Angie Tribeca seems to be off and running quite well, so TBS is now setting its sights to launching its latest series, The Detour from Daily Show alums and comedy power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee.
For starters, the network is starting off nicely by putting the entire pilot on YouTube before the premiere next week.
If that gets you hooked, catch the premiere at 9PM on Monday, April 11th on TBS.
Samantha Bee is already off and running with Full Frontal and now her husband Jason Jones is getting ready to launch the TBS series that he’s starring in, The Detour. The show promises a family vacation that takes a dark turn, though under much suspicious circumstances than the National Lampoon Vacation movies, and lets chaos reign.
This promo probably just scratches the surface for how bad this family vacation. The Detour premieres on TBS on Mon. Apr. 11th.
Once a network that you primarily just knew for Conan, TBS is looking to start anew in this ever changing landscape of TV, especially when it comes to comedy.
So, with the likes of an entire new line-up of shows including the Steve and Nancy Carell’s Angie Tribeca, Jason Jones’ The Detour, People of Earth from Conaco, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Search Party from Charles Rogers and Sarah Violet Bliss (the duo behind Fort Tilden), and Wrecked.
From the looks of this trailer that rundowns this new line-up, they might have a good shot at finding a new niche.
