I'm excited the show has been renewed, let alone in HD. I remember reading something about how using HD equipment was cost-prohibitive for TAR in the past...not anymore, I guess.
This season is turning out better than expected. No real "villain" teams to be had, but the fact that the tattooed couple are managing to stick around is really mindbending. I like the places they are visiting, too. The scenery in St. Petersburg is something.
