Thanks for posting this. I too remember seeing this as a kid on Disney during one of the free preview weeks (my parents were too cheap to get more than basic cable back then). I remember seeing A Christmas Story a few years later and realizing that it was the same narration and characters. I only saw it once as a kid and spent most of my youth searching Eagle Video and Blockbuster for this on tape. So thanks, it means a lot that you preserved this for all the internet to enjoy.

Thanks for posting this! I watched this with my dad when I was a kid and he was a real Jean Shepherd nut. I yearned for a family vacation full of disasters like this one! And I can't wait until I can do the same for my kids! :)

I remember when this aired on Disney Channel years ago. I wish Disney would release this rare and obscured movie onto DVD or some digital video format.

Awesome! I remember seeing this on the Disney Channel many years ago. I grew up in Michigan,so this I can totaly relate to this. Reminds me a little bit of the vactions we used to take to Traverse City every summer for many years.

Best movie ever. Thanks so much for posting this. I've been looking for this for years. Actually, "thank you" is an understatement.

@StickyMike I think this movie is actually pretty boring.

I've said this before, but nobody could spin a tale like Shep. This brings back every trip we ever took from Jersey to Pennsylvania or Massachussetts. By then, the '70s, super-highways had pretty much made car sickness a thing of the past, except for Taffy, our dog who rarely made trips with us for that very reason.
