TAR 20 Premiere Pushed Back to Mid-Season

<< < (4/5) > >>

Prophet:
Does the season run from January through May? If so then March is mid-season and I get your point. You don't think it is very likely that they will start in April and run into Big Brother?

theschnauzers:
Traditionally, the "season" actually runs from September to May; but many shows take a break from December into January, especially the dramas. CBS long ago adopted that model for Survivor and TAR, but had to leave room on the schedule for certain events.  Now that Hallmark has moved to another network, and with the format change for the NCAA basketball tournament, CBS doesn't have to have the spring edition of TAR finish in early May -- it can run to mid-May and still have Survivor finish the weekend before the Memorial Day weekend.

theschnauzers,

I have a different point of view on this. The NCAA Tournament no longer disrupts CBS in Sunday primetime because they play and telecast those games in the first weekend on other channels. There were no Amazing Race schedule displacements that I recall in March 2011. If you work backwards from the second weekend before Memorial Day (I assume you mean May 20, 2012; if not then it must be May 13), then this is the Amazing Race 20 schedule that ends on that date:

March 4, 11, 18, 25
April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
May 6, 13, 20

Vigate:
this is a shame......at least we have TAR at all.

i remember during TAR 13 i had doubts about there even being any more TAR.....ever.

:welcome: to RFF Vigate!

I remember that too...but this seems more of a scheduling issue as they are already taking apps for TAR 21.
