Lexie, it costs SO much to make one season of TAR

Do u think CBS would allow that money to go t waste?

It WILL air, but the question is WHEN

Nobody knows that it's definitely going to air. Let's be honest.
I thought that when we fought, I was to blame
Now I know you play a different game
I've seen you dance with danger; still wanting more

Man the lack of TAR on the airwaves is making some folks super paranoid. Calm down folks, another season has filmed, and WILL air. As one poster mentioned, it costs a LOT of money to film a season of the show. That investment would not be made if they didn't intend to air it.  Is there a chance that we won't see it until summer, if CBS decides there's no holes to fill in the winter? Yes. But summer is generally a rerun-ridden wasteland on CBS except for BB and maybe one original drama (Zoo). So there is a ton of airwave real estate in the summer. Worst case scenario that is when we see it.

Apparently, CBS has not yet announce its mid-season (winter) schedule. It will wait the mid-season programming announcement by late-November or early-December.

Sorry...not understanding the down 16+%? Macgyver is pulling in better #'s than we did in that slot last year, how can the numbers be down?

The percentages quoted are not based on total viewers, but the share of the 18-49 y/o demo. So McGyver might be getting more viewers but maybe not from the demographics TV stations want to target.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Comparing the numbers to TAR27's ratings on this same day last year, MacGyver is down 0.2 in the demo.
But at the same time, TAR27 wasn't up against the most watched World Series Game 3 in 12 years.

I want Macgyver to do well. I don't want TAR back on Friday nights. Any other night of the week would be better.

It's not going to get a better timeslot than Friday's at this point in its history (unless it airs during the summer). It could be worse with a Saturday timeslot.

Sat would be worse. But yes, there is always BETTER!

Aside from MacGyver, which is doing good in ratings. The other new show beside MacGyver is Pure Genius, the series premiere rating with a share of 1.0 and a viewership of 6.23 million. That latter show has going worst. Once Pure Genius gets cancelled as ratings continue going worse, The Amazing Race will get for the timeslot on three Thursdays in December, and the rest would be on the Friday schedule starting from January.

Pure Genius has the 10PM time slot. I don't think they would put TAR on at 10 PM. It plays better earlier in the evening. However, Big Bang Theory is on at 8 PM and there is NO chance they would move it for TAR. I suppose they could put TAR on at 8:30 or 9 PM, but most likely they would want to have another comedy show (or 2 or 3) after Big Bang Theory.

You didn't mean the ratings, right? CBS Thursday comedies are doing well in ratings, especially The Big Bang Theory which is more and more ratings. I do think TAR would have the 10pm slot on a post-Thanksgiving schedule.

What I was trying to say (not too well) is that I don't think they would put TAR on at 10 PM. I can't think of any reality show they has run at that hour. Usually dramas are shown at that time, or maybe a news-like show like Dateline or 20/20. If they cancel Pure Genius and want to put TAR on, they would most likely shuffle a few shows to get TAR on earlier. You make a good point about the CBS Thursday night comedies. I doubt they would move those around and break up a successful block of programming. Most likely they would shift a show from elsewhere in the week to 10 PM Thursday and put TAR on early another night. I have no idea what the possibilities are. I haven't examined the ratings and these are just my thoughts off the top of my head.

LOL....Amazing Race itself has aired at 5 pm. All of S5 aired there and part of S9.

Yes, part of TAR9 aired at 10 pm. However, it was quickly yanked and thrown at 8 pm Wednesdays because the ratings at 10 pm were awful. That remains CBS's biggest misstep with the show. Season 8 was the family edition to encourage families and younger viewers to watch, and then season 9 goes to a non-family hour? Luckily CBS quickly learned.

10 pm will not be happening again, unless CBS has truly thrown in the towel on the show and is just burning off the remaining episodes/season with no intention to renew.

I was leaving time zone differences out of it. Yes, the east coast feed airs at 5 PM west coast time, but the west coast feed that most people watch on the west coast is at 8 PM. Generally west coast stations are running news or syndicated programs at 5 PM, at least on weekdays. By your reasoning, Hawaii has been airing TAR at 2 PM for a long time.

I was not aware that TAR was on for a time at 10 PM. I expect it was bad for ratings. If they do put TAR into a 10 PM time slot, like The Rabbi, I believe that would be the end for TAR.
