Would another Family Edition ever work?
TARstorian:
Another Family Edition can't really work because 99% of the audience wouldn't be on board with it.
"Hey, remember that season the critics mocked in interviews with Phil for the next ten years, Phil and Bertram both said they would never do again, and the audience frequently references it as the worst season of all time? . . .Well, we're gonna try it again!"
You'd have to call it something completely different. You brand it as "Family Edition" and you're pretty much screwed.
I think the biggest thing is you need to just not reserve FIVE NELs for the last eight legs of the season. Do it where you have nine teams and ten legs or something like that.
Furthermore have two of the members be 16 or younger. . .but then you have to water down the tasks and limit international travel.
So maybe you have everyone be 19+. . .but then isn't it just a regular season with bloated team sizes and everyone having a family dynamic?
There's just no way you can make it work given who watches TAR US and what they associate with Family Edition.
With that being said, TAR Canada could absolutely get away with a Family Edition. I mean, look at the past couple seasons. I have no idea why, but they get millions of viewers by doing nothing and creating no interesting storylines. Just let them do it and people seem to watch it no matter what. They're the only franchise I can think of who could pull this off with significant ratings.
