ABC夏季节目《勇者任务》（The Quest）。它看起来像是一部古装「剧集」，事实上它是真人秀。该节目由电影《魔戒》的制片人和《极速前进》（The Amazing Race）的制片人联合打造，是一部带有奇幻色彩的竞技游戏节目。12个参赛的「英雄」将在节目中对战「巨妖」、「恶龙」等神话世界中的怪物……当然，这些都是假的（但在视觉上让人觉得是真的）。该节目7月31日播出。
　　The Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings has joined forces with the creators and producers of The Amazing Race to conjure a land of magic and malevolence, where mythical creatures lurk in the woods. For 12 lucky souls, a fantastic world will come alive in a unique competition series where players will engage in epic challenges.
