The Amazing Race is Amazing.

A couple of weeks ago I was searching for something to watch on Hulu (we do Netflix for movies and originals and Hulu for beloved TV show replays over here) and was overjoyed to discover that alllll of the episodes in seasons one through twenty-seven of The Amazing Race are available to stream.

We LOVE The Amazing Race in this house. Before the boys went to college it was how we four spent Sunday nights together. At the beginning of every season we pause the show after the teams are introduced and we each pick two that we think might win. Of course, after an episode or two some of us end up wanting to switch teams–and by some of us I mean “I”–but that’s not allowed in the family rules.

After I made that huge discovery we started watching Season 25, since we missed that one originally. Dylan wanted to re-watch the season that featured the Hippies, Tyler and BJ, so we’re watching Season 9 too.

There are so many teams and memories I want to revisit; it’s going to be fun to pick which season to watch next. I loved Charla and Mirna in Season 5, David and Mary in Season 10, Kynt and Vyxsin in Season 12, Margie in Luke in Season 14 (and 18), Bopper and Mark in Season 20, and so many more.

Favorite scenes of ours are the Swiss cheese roll in Season 14, anything with Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, when Joyce got her head shaved so she and Uchenna could win the Fast Forward in Season 7, and when Claire got hit in the face with a watermelon in Season 17. (Saying that’s a favorite moment makes me feel dirty, but we were all stunned when it happened. Probably not as stunned as Claire was. She’s okay, by the way.)

With twenty-seven seasons to watch and re-watch, and probably adding Season 28 once Hulu gets it, we’ll be able to stay occupied until Season 29 finally makes it to CBS.

So tell me, are you a fan of The Amazing Race? Give me your favorites.
