Real or fictional.

The Walker Family: Simply went to the finish line after decrypting Bert Van Munster's e-mails, thanks to the Soviets.

The Munsters: Put Wally Bransen with the Gaghans, and put them in their haunted house costumes, and you've got the Munsters.

The Huxtables: Eliminated in the first leg, but not because of their skin color. Rather, it's because Cliff has to keep explaining everything to his "brain-damaged" children. Also, Clair tries to avoid looking like she's pregnant.

And (yes, I can laugh at myself):
The Bushes.

Dubya misoverestimates his hitting ability at the baseball Roadblock in Panama, even though he once owned a major league team. He plans to leave a division in every foreign country they go to. With every Detour, George H.W. says, "Not gonna do it..." Jeb brings everyone's raincoats, slowing him down, and there's chads hanging all over them.

And Jenna thinks every task is to go to the nearest bar.

Your turn!

The Simpsons where only Homer ruins vacations or maybe the boy.

The Hiltons where they can only increase their DAWdom.

The Waltons - no, not going to happen. Too Canadian and they'd win.

The Fluties where Doug and Darren can pretend that they weren't pro football players. Where have I heard this before?


Trick or treat. Smell my feet.

Bradys: the stalking horses of imaginary family TAR, we would all so be totally fed up with Marcia Marcia Marcia by the end.

Alice would be a gas, though.

Tortellis: Carla and her gang of gangstah brats, they would spend the entire race trying to sabotage the other teams in fun and hysterical ways.

Cranes: Frasier, Niles and Lilith spend the entire race psychoanalyzing the other teams, fortunately Eddie keeps them all on task.

The British Royal Family: Philiminated first, after Harry and William head to the nearest pub and Camilla spends all her time dodging the cameras, leaving Charles to entertain (?) us.

Bunkers: every edition has to have one argumentative, insanely lucky, disfunctional team.

Pffft... You took mine.

Okay. How about the Cleavers, who didn't win, 'cause they spent all their time helping the other teams sort out their problems.

Or, the Martin's/Miller's who do extremely well, until they are disqualified when producers realize they are doing so well because of the contributions of their dog Lassie - disguised as an assistance dog for Jeff/Timmy.

(Or, if not during this, Family, season, disqualified when Lassie is taken into quarrantine... To be continued next week...)

The Bundys -Eliminated Second, Peggy couldn't get out of that bon bon store. Bud couldn't stay away from the other teams girl, Kelly couldnt read the map and Als hand got stuck in his pants.
Also tricked by Marcy the next door neighbor

Olsen Twins - Win the game, since they use their drug habitats to win the race and getting banged in over 13 countries that allow sex under the age of 16.

"Its the most daring competition every attempted."

The Partridge Family- They would go far cause they’re used to traveling and working together. Their singing and Keith’s popularity would drive the other teams to distraction. Danny’s constant scheming could really help them. On the other hand, it could cause them to be Philiminated first.

The Kennedy’s- will loose because, who will lead? Also, one will always be called away to appear in a court case, taking away from the team. They are accident and death prone, and they will constantly argue politics with the other teams. They could win by the fact that they have so many stand-ins waiting in the wings to fill in.

I love it. Someone call National Lampoon. I would definitely go see National Lampoons Family Vacation: TAR Edition.

I picture a roadblock that involves eating a turkey. A very very dry turkey.

Maybe another family could be cousin Eddie's family!

I thought dry turkey was Homer's weak spot!
