Title: CONFIRMED! Only ONE episode airing tonight!
Post by: dryedmangoez on November 04, 2020, 05:43:16 PM
This can be moved to the appropriate thread. But a big heads up. CBS has tweaked their primetime line-up (as have other networks) to accommodate special election coverage at 10pm ET.

Deadline is reporting TAR will only air ONE episode tonight at 8pm with a SWAT repeat airing at 9pm. But the CBS website and press website still shows both TAR episodes will air. Deadline might be incorrect.

From Deadline (https://deadline.com/2020/11/nbc-cbs-american-ninja-warrior-season-finale-pushed-1234609315/):
Quote
CBS will air its regularly scheduled episode of The Amazing Race from 8-9 PM, followed by a S.W.A.T. repeat from 9-10 PM and then a live special, CBS News 2020: America Decides – Still Counting, at 10-11 PM ET. The special will air from 7-8 PM on the West Coast. Another S.W.A.T. repeat will air from 10-11 PM in the West.

Also, breaking news could affect the schedule further. So be on the lookout and stay tuned!

Kinda glad I'm in Canada this week, lol. No election here = no pre-empting on CTV.

I guess episode 5 will be possibly moved to Friday, November 6 on a special time at 8 pm. Move Greatest At Home Videos at 9 pm for a one-time schedule.

Possible schedule change for November 6, 2020:

8:00 pm The Amazing Race (special time)
9:00 pm Greatest #AtHome Videos (special time)
10:00 pm Blue Bloods (replay)

And yet people say CBS doesn't hate us  :2hearts: :2hearts: :2hearts:

We wouldn't be replaced by a REPEAT of all things if that was the case.

CONFIRMED! Only one episode tonight according to CBS Press Express:
https://www.viacomcbspressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/schedule/?type=grid


It's possible they might be keeping 9pm open just in case there's breaking news. So instead of keeping TAR and then just cutting in, might as well hold it for now.

I was wondering about that. Would CTV still air Episode 5?
Also, how interesting to have to wait two hours between episodes hehe

That'll be hilarious if CTV actually airs the 5th US episode in Canada days before the US.

CBS might not be laughing, though.

I don't think it would be the first time. I think there was another occasion, where something similar happened, then Canada had to wait two weeks for the following fresh episode.

AXN Asia too of course has both episodes airing "tonight" (Thursday night in Asia). So they and CTV would just have to repeat Ep 5 next week?

The huge problem is all scripted comedies including BBT spin-off Young Sheldon will premiere tomorrow. I do a possibly for a special Friday episode and then episode 6 next Wednesday.
Title: Re: CONFIRMED! Only ONE episode airing tonight!
Post by: NumfarPTB on November 04, 2020, 07:30:02 PM
Just checked CTV website, and they have removed Leg 5 from the line-up.
So just leg 4 for today.
AXN will probably change their later on also.

Post by: dryedmangoez on November 04, 2020, 07:36:17 PM
As far as future scheduling, they'll probably keep two episodes on November 18 and then have a two-hour finale.

Not as possible. SEAL TEAM will have its December 16 episode on a normal time period at 9 pm. SWAT will still have its December 16 episode as well.

Edit: clarification

I guess we'll see just how much CBS loves TAR then if they swat SWAT out of the way. lol

As you wish.
Show content
The two-hour finale episodes in the Philippines and New Orleans will be scheduled for December 16 to avoid Christmas specials on the week of December 21. Just like the 2-hour finale of Survivor and a reunion special. The December 16 episode of SEAL Team will be bumped to January 6, 2021 after the holiday season.

Couldn't they just extend the season out an extra week and end it on December 23rd instead? I doubt many people are traveling this year and it's not like there's a holiday or anything special going on that day that would distract from the finale...
Title: Re: CONFIRMED! Only ONE episode airing tonight!
Post by: Marionete on November 04, 2020, 09:16:35 PM
So I am definitely glad they didn't risk tonight's 2nd episode getting cut into.

However, I am definitely worried for the future ratings the show might get. So many people are not aware this is airing!! Just hoping we get another season once COVID ends, and have it air at the start of the TV season, not plopped somewhere as a filler again. Then we'll judge how good or bad the show is doing.

You're gonna be floored by how many people are insane enough to travel abroad during this Christmas season. :groan:

Most likely, CBS will need one hour of prime time Thursday and Friday nights for election coverage. It likely won’t be until Friday before presidential election can be called. But then no one knew Georgia would become Trump’s worst nightmare.

True, a lot of people I saw in social media sites are confused with the varying airing times.
One user commented, she DVR'ed the 8-10pm timeslot only to find out the 9-10pm was replaced with a different show.
Some people were expecting double episodes but none. Man, this is some sick airing. The viewers are getting confused.
One user commented, "I was expecting it to be at 9pm, was not informed, it was moved to 8pm."
Also, some friends & relatives of mine who are in the US, are unaware that TAR is airing. I was gobsmacked.
Have you guys been living in a hole? If I didn't tell them, they would not know. They'll need to catch up.

All I know is that the network is doing awful at promoting TAR as a whole. They refused to even upload the cast bio videos - still. The advertising for the show was little to nothing in the two weeks leading up to the premiere. The "next episode" promotion has also been scarce. And the rescheduling for this season being in flux without any communication to anyone is truly aggravating, shady, and inauthentic.

CBS, you're suffering a communication breakdown for a show millions of viewers watch. Do better.

Not sure where to post this or if it deserves its own thread but, episode 5 has leaked online. So if you are unspoiled, be very cautious until next week.

Okay guys. This iis clearly a glitch but it IS on the TAR official site .

SO if you want to discuss it take it to the EP 5 thread.
