TAR 32 Premiere Date Postponed>>NOW ON THE FALL SCHEDULE!
theschnauzers:
I am the side of those that CBS now knows Survivor 41 can’t be filmed on time to be ready in the fall for broadcast.
I agree it seems to be headed for the Wednesday at 8pm timeslot. Possibly diving that two hour premiere into two one hour episodes, so it will cover 12 weeks.
Resuming production on TAR 33 may be possible after this summer/fall or next spring, if, worldwide, the pandemic has eased enough to make it practical. Keep in mind it is the United States that has reported the greatest number of cases and fatalities, which wasn’t the case when production was suspended in February. It’s widely expected there will be a second wave of cases probably by winter in the northern hemisphere.
There are as yet unclear logistical issues, especially with airlines and airports and any restrictions, but ee’ll See.

I was seriously so upset when I found out about this today. What am I gonna watch now when Survivor 40 is over, especially since Big Brother may not even happen this year either if this mess isn't over with by June? Oof. I may have to rewatch old episodes of TAR each week to get by until then.
Speaking of Survivor, it's unfortunate that they probably won't be able to film Survivor 41 on time due to the virus so I'm glad there will be something to take over its timeslot... but it still sucks, especially for TAR 32's cast. They've been waiting for long for this to air. :(

In this case that the now-delayed 32nd Race cycle would be announced in the fall schedule lineup on the 2020-21 TV season in a couple of weeks. Hopefully CBS could make a finalized decision to air on Wednesday nights.

I think most people understand that, yes, airing TAR32 in the Fall is the wiser decision from a business standpoint. In fact, I thought that was always going to be the plan. I was rather surprised to see a Summer run, but glad to get it sooner.
I think the frustration from most people, including myself, is that CBS had ALREADY announced a premiere date.
"Hey everyone! We know TAR31 premiered LITERALLY over one year ago, but it's okay, because on May 20th, TAR will be back for it's 32nd season with a HUGE 2-hour long season premiere!!"
*2 weeks later*
"Hey everyone! Yeahhh... about that May premiere date of TAR32... we're gonna delay airing the season indefinitely. Bye!"
Now THAT in it of itself is bad marketing and bad business management. To announce a premiere date (and hype up a 2-hour premiere, when we haven't gotten one since TAR15) and even have Phil film a video promoting it, only to take it all back and say, we've changed our minds... it's not a good look. At least no promos or trailers had been released yet, otherwise it would have been even worse.
Also, as someone else mentioned, CBS doesn't have ANY TAR on their own website. TAR31 was on there for FREE for the past 2 weeks... but then they removed it. Huh? The least they can do is have all of their seasons available to stream on their website. To just take out all the seasons when the show isn't airing, then put TAR31 back on for 2 weeks because the show was set to air, and THEN take it down when the air date was revised makes literally zero sense.

I agree. That was unecessary.
