- GoofsKicked out of the Inn On The Park in the middle of the night, and with no transportation (or money to buy or rent transportation), the girls somehow end up 10 miles away on Shuter Street in downtown Toronto by dawn -- in heels, and immaculately coiffed and made up.

Featured review
A Long Way for Some Of The Gags...
...However, this one (with Glen Corbett as Linc) turns out to be quite delightful. I'll
save going through the plot, since the other reviewers do a fine job of that. But having loved "Route 66" since the show was made, this installment (being the only one in the series which was made outside the U.S.) has always been, in my opinion, one of the MOST worth watching of them all. If you prefer Buz to Linc, give this one a try. Corbett does a fine job of playing "White Knight" to the featured 5-piece all girl band (featuring the drop-dead gorgeous 1963 version of Jessica Walter, who you may remember as the MOM in "Arrested Development") the eye-candy alone make this show well worth your time. Trust me on this! And the primarily Stirling Silliphant script - most of them are - is a good one. I promise you this installment of "Route 66" WILL NOT let you down!
