My Sister and I (both TAR fanatics) L-O-V-E-D this series!! Funny because, in the first place, I taped the first 3-4 eps thinking it sounded rather hokey. Then we watched them all in a row while she came up on vacation. AND both of us were immediately hooked, didn't miss an episode! Especially liked the history and the American sights we got to view. We were expecting something fakey for the finale, like a replica of the last hidden room, so it was refreshing to see the teams on the stage for the interviews. Still would have liked a longer finale with more time for teams discussing & reflections. Katie Fogal SURE was quiet this go round, wasn't she (kinda looking embarrassed IMO). We're both hoping that they give us another Treasure Hunters. I think by the 2nd season many of the bugs will be ironed out, just like they did with The Amazing Race. I think they would attract many of the same viewers, concurrently with TAR, but all the clue solving makes TH a totally different experience. We certainly would watch BOTH!

I find the host, phoney, unnatural, annoying, and his voice grates on me. Other than that he's okay.

just got to my Tivo! Hubby and I really liked this show and i dont like TAR. This was a more 'Mole' like version. more smarts, less crap..coulda used a bit more humor like The Mole. It took itself very seriously. It was a lot better than the National Treasure movie. I hope they do it again too. Laird was ok on the phone but was lousy at the finale, although i liked the finale enuf.. Agree with Lurkie about the downfalls, esp the editing.. But it was as good or better than most action adventure movies! I felt like i was back reading some Nancy Drew books.. Once it was mentioned that it could just be 5 letters, i thought it would be OSCYS (oh say can you see), since everything is usually what they see right in front of them. Hubby thought my idea was way better than FSKEY... Any consipiracy theorys about FRANCES being the first to get FRANCES Scott Key???? Also, what the hell was with the clue they gave us at the end about 'the key is free'???? i kept trying to come up with 5 letter words for freeom. What did that clue have to do with the answer??????? I wanted Southies, i bet Lurkie wanted the local boys too but i was very happy the Geniuses won. I really liked 2 of the 3 and the other one looks like he might have improved himself with the experience. Oh yeah, and i almost jumped out of my seat cuz the guy there from Genworth, the VP who gave the money.. i am almost sure that i know him!!! My aunts nephew has the same name, and i havent seen him since i was a kid but its not a common name and he looks like it could be him! what a trip! cant believe my aunt never mentioned it my mom!

My DD, GD, and I really, really enjoyed this show. I would have been happy with any of the last three teams winning. I think that if/when they do another show, though, they should only have physically fit candidates or make it less physical. It was sad seeing the Browns struggling, although I give them props for slogging on.

Melissa from TeamMissUSA says that NBC should be making a decision in the next couple of weeks whether or not they will do a second edition.

I hope they do a second edition. I thought it was a great start and a good first season. With a few tweaks the show could be fantastic.

It was especially nice to have something "fresh" to enjoy during the dull summer months. Can't watch BB all the time!!

I think it would be cool to have a TVCH team. I mean, how many of these shows would be so successful if it weren't for the on-line community? Having a team from a discussion board would be a really smart move!

What ever the team, make sure there is no reference to BB as this would not be good to NBC to have CBS reference.
