Amazing Race Season 15 ratings

<< < (15/48) > >>

Caelestor:
Considering how everything after TAR on Sundays sorta sucks in the ratings, I think CBS should at least go back to 13 TAR legs per season (they might want to bring back the old race designers). TAR is still cheaper than the other dramas there.

puddin:
They really could can Three Rivers, I tuned out to watch the Yankees then recorded Cold Case. No matter woohooo TAR! CBS has to take note!! ......you know they really really made a mistake cancelling Without a Trace, I read that the summer reruns were getting high ratings so embarrassed CBS pulled it from the summer schedule, AIN'T that a kick in the head? okay rant off  :hearts:

I honestly don't understand having a shorter season.  Fr every season its been on Sunday its been the strongest demo performer (and thus the strongest money maker for CBS on Sunday).  I mean seriously how expensive is the show to produce?

TARAsia Fan:
And considering Sunday Night Football is the most expensive primetime program for ads, CBS is charging at rate that seems to be a bargain in comparison!

I've been busy today, but I did see the fast overnight numbers as posted at TFC (and CBS did not put out a press release today for some reason), but the fact that the numbers went from almost 11 million to almost 12 even without the final numbers that are used for the weekly list on Tuesday is a real surprise.

As to the CBS decision to cancel "Without A Trace," it wasn't based so much on ratings but the fear CBS has that all of their Bruckheimer shows have been on the network for a long time, and the fear that the audiences would start to decline dramatically and CBS would not have any younger series to build their audiences on.

There were two problems with that in my mind. First, while CBS has been lucky with Ghost Whisperer, The Mentalist and Flashpoint, they have commissioned some real turkeys as well -- Viva Laughlin in particular, and Three Rivers seems to be another turkey.

What I've seen in the numbers is that Three Rivers has lost up to 50 per cent of TAR's numbers every week; and while Cold Case is able to pull back almost half of those, it's in a bad time slot to keep the numbers they had the last two years following TAR directly.

I hope that at a minimum, CBS switches the time slots for Cold Case and Three Rivers, if not cancel Three Rivers outright. Oddly enough, Cold Case is another show that I like to watch, and I basically am doing other things during that hour that Three Rivers is on. It really does not interest me. As to Sunday Night Football, if the Dolphins were on, I might watch it, but I find it hard to watch 6 football games in one weekend. By the time I get to Sunday night, I really don't have the patience to watch another game. (And I do love football, but that sixth game is overkill. I much preferred it with the broadcast night game was on Monday night.)
