Just thought I'd post this for anyone that is local but missed this fun show. They did an Amazing Race knockoff as a local, two episode contest. The winners won a Jeep. Last week, it ran on 2 consecutive nights, one hour each night.

The thing is, it re-runs TONIGHT (saturday, Jan 25) on KRON channel 4 from 8pm to 10pm...the full two hours, back to back. There are 4 teams of 2. They have to figure out clues, do challenges and race all over San Francisco...to the marina, GG park, the beach, Haight Ashbury, etc...

If you are in the SF Bay Area, it's alot of fun....seeing lots of places that you're familiar with.

This was originally part of "Bay Area Backroads", a local human interest / places of interest local program.

Oh yeah...they referred to this as "the first" Great Race and said it was the SF Bay Area's only local reality show/game.

This was all FYI....for any of you who are close enough to the San Francisco Bay Area to have channel 4 KRON! (I already saw it and thought it was a hoot)

Dang, Sanfranjoshfan, I would love to see that. I used to live in SF. I bet Tess would love it too. She grew up there.

Aaaaaack---How do we get to see this? I grew up in the Sunset District just 4 blocks from the beach. Darn darn darn darn. It sounds like a fabulous show.
