Hooky:
We should be able to expect the cast release sometime in the next week or so, right?

Yeah, hope so!

Sunday would be the earliest teams would be announced (four weeks out) but CBS may be planning heavier promotion around the NFL playoffs (there're no playoff games January 31st. And this weekend is a holiday weekend in the US, so I'm sure the promo monkeys are waiting.
It's also possible CBS may wait until next weekend (after the multi-network telethon for Haiti that's been scheduled for Friday night) when that tragedy will be in better focus. It's pretty clear the nets will be focusing on Haiti this week.

TAR (and Survivor) to continue during Olympics...
From USA today:
--- Quote ---Reality series are Olympics Teflon; they have held up best in past years. CBS' all-star Survivor, The Amazing Race and Undercover Boss (beginning new seasons this month), Fox's Idol and ABC'sThe Bachelor will stay on the air.
Fox will air repeats of House, Bones and some Sunday animated series, but much of its lineup, including Human Target and 24, will remain intact. "It's a disservice to our audience if we lie down for two weeks," says scheduling chief Preston Beckman.
ABC will pre-empt Castle, its Wednesday family comedies and single episodes ofDesperate Housewives and Grey's that face figure skating, the most popular Olympics event. Lost will continue in originals.
But CBS' sitcoms and dramas will take a breather. "We're more or less getting out of the way with our scripted programming," says program planning chief Kelly Kahl. "Running them against the Olympics doesn't give us the biggest bang for the buck."

Mister RC:
Glad that none of the programs that don't get reruns aren't going on hiatus (as I speculated). If TAR were to do so, or "lay down" as mentioned, they would have waited until after the Academy Awards, and that would have messed up their rhythm (ditto Survivor, Idol, etc).
