--- Quote from: Jimmer on December 02, 2017, 09:37:08 AM ---I think the new timeslot will bode well for TAR. Usually there is not much to compete with during the winter season in terms of other shows and really the only thing that may draw away viewership is the Olympics.

Besides the usual ABC comedies, we also get to go against Fox's revival of the X-Files. So there will be competition. But it's still better than being stuck in a 10 pm slot.

I'm a little bit confused with the length of the season. This seems to be the shortest run of all US Amazing Race's. Can someone walk me through, is this good for the ratings? Why are there an abundance of double episodes? I know nothing how the US Ratings go. I just want TAR to go back to the glory days. 8pm slot though is good for me, I think.

It is a full season with 12 legs. Just in a much shorter time interval.
They are just putting it in as Olympic counter programming I think.
We filled a need in the schedule for 29. They had nothing else to place there and we rocked it. They need something against the Olympics and something to go with BB.
Since there is a BB team on 30 going in a scheduling match up with BB could be very good for TAR ratings and CBS ratings if we can retain the BB peeps.
It is actually brilliant marketing.
AND.... CBS likes to have a TAR season in the can ready to go. :tup:
Could this mean a very early NEW season filming?? Very possibly!
I think it is a WIN-WIN all around. :conf:

I agree. I don't really see the downside. A Wednesday primetime slot? That's usually for Survivor, a similar show, should be great! Much better than stupid Sundays.
Also, there is nothing on in January. It's exciting to get something new to watch, especially a great show like TAR. And yes it pairs with BB and going against the Olympics (which I personally am very sad about because I like to devote all my time to it).
Overall it seems good news and I'm SO EXCITED we get to see it so soon!

So...I cannot find a full listing yet. Other than the premiere date CBS has not yet posted.
Here's what looks like it could be right. Based on Buddy TV's quote that it moves to TWO hours Feb 7.
Deadline states Jan 24th is 2 hours. If that is correct then if we have a 11 episode series we need to skip a week somewhere. If we get 12 episodes, then whoohoo!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ONE HOUR:
Jan 3 (Wed) 8-9PM PREMIERE
Jan 10 (Wed) 8-9 PM
Jan 17 (Wed) 8-9 PM
TWO HOUR:
Jan 24 (Wed) 8-10 PM
Jan 31 ?skipped or no?
Feb 7 (Wed) 9-11 PM
Feb 14 (Wed) 9-11 PM
Feb 21 (Wed) 9-11 PM FINALE

And this also works well with the countries that have two legs...
