While it’s definitely not a family-friendly show, March 28th’s episode of The Detour, “The Heat,” had a couple of hilarious moments that almost made up for the raunchiness of the rest of the show. The Detour centers around a not-so typical family as real-life couple and show creators Jason Jones and Natalie Zea play parents Nate and Robin who take their kids on a road trip.

Nate is a bit more nefarious than first thought, and in the second season, we find him back home in New York, dealing with various law enforcement agencies for whatever crime he committed before taking his family on vacation.

Which leads us to Tuesday night’s episode. The family is being surveilled by “USPIS,” The United States Postal Inspection Service, as part of Nate’s criminal activities.

As Agent Edie interrogates Nate and Robin, the topic of Benjamin Franklin comes up which turns into a hilariously fantastic parody of the infamous Broadway play Hamilton. B. Frank pokes fun at Hamilton’s ridiculous revisionist history, anachronisms, refusal to use any white characters, overpriced tickets and overrated performance (Warning: language)

It’s pretty surprising that a show on Ted Turner’s network would have the gall to say such sacrilegious things about the left’s beloved Hamilton! “I mean, it's really diverse. Like, almost distractingly so.”

Yes. Yes it is. We have the “NON-WHITE men and women” only (emphasis theirs) disclaimer that Hamilton’s casting department proudly displayed to thank for that! A fact that was brilliantly mocked in the parody, as the only white character in B. Frank was a concubine slave, also showing the absurdity of Hamilton’s revisionist history.
