A good hope may lie with MacGyver. Reboots of classic shows don't always get a warm reception, Ruchard Dean Anderson is what made the original.
The official Thursday schedule will be aired on October 27 just after the NFL Thursday match.
Both Bull and MacGyver will be doing better in the first few episodes. The other new show Pure Genius will be aired after Life of Pieces at the 10 pm timeslot. Unlike those two newbies, Pure Genius will likely to be axed after the pilot or the second episode, that would cause cancellation and TAR will get this time slot if it would happen.

I'm confused. I know we don't want TAR on Sat night, but is this because we wouldn't get ratings, or is because all of the cancelled show go ???
Peach I think it's just due to press and analysts finding it unfavourable. That said, it's not really official considering two expected CBS "flops" (Bull and Kevin Can Wait) did pretty well on their premieres.
Fingers crossed we get a good slot.

Just because a show did great in its debut doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to continue to do well. Does anyone want ratings updates through the CBS shows?
Adweek: What's your most improved time slot this fall?
Glenn Geller, president, CBS Entertainment: We have a real opportunity this year to grow a number of time periods: Fridays at 8 [with MacGyver], Tuesdays at 9 and 10 [with Bull and the relocated NCIS: New Orleans] and Mondays at 8 [with Kevin Can Wait and Man With a Plan].

Actually, I checked it out, too. Totally not Patty & Selma's MacGyver :funny: Lots of negativity on their Facebook Page
The premiere of “MacGyver” led CBS to an across-the-board win Friday, scoring the night’s best ratings in both adults 18-49 (1.7) and total viewers (10.89 million). It was the best performance by a Friday scripted series since “Hawaii Five-0” put up a 1.8 in January 2014.http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/09/24/tv-ratings-friday-sept-23-2016/
The strong premiere for “MacGyver” helped “Five-0” (1.3) improve by 0.3 on last season’s premiere, while “Blue Bloods” was even with last fall’s debut with a 1.3.
In May, CBS put MacGyver on the fall schedule on a title, wing and a prayer after discarding the pilot made last spring, keeping only star Lucas Till and co-star George Eads. Hawaii Five-0‘s Peter Lenkov was recruited to conceive a new reboot of the 1980s series. In four months, a new pilot episode was written, cast and filmed and a series got up and running for a September premiere. Awareness was great, courtesy of the familiar title, reviews were pretty terrible, but in the end, CBS’ bet on remaking MacGyver for purely financial reasons seems to be paying off, at least in Week 1, with a big opening by Friday standards, 1.7 Live+same day rating in adults 18-49 and 10.9 million viewers at 8 PM last night. A self-starter at 8 PM, it towered over the competition as the highest-rated and most watched program on Friday. It was the most watched Friday scripted premiere since CBS’ Blue Bloods in 2010 (13.02m) and highest rated in 18-49 since NBC’s Dracula in 2013-14 (1.8 ). Overall, MacGyver was the top scripted telecast on Friday night since Hawaii Five-0 in January 2014 (1.8 ) and logged the biggest CBS premiere in the 8 PM hour since 2005 in viewers (Ghost Whisperer) and 2012 in 18-49 (Undercover Boss).http://deadline.com/2016/09/macgyver-premiere-ratings-exorcist-1201825714/
MacGyver, which was up +87% in viewers, +42% in A18-49 from The Amazing Race’s series opener in the slot last fall, gave a boost to Lenkov’s Hawaii Five-0 at 9 PM (1.3 in 18-49, 10.09 million), which was up +30% in the demo and +22% in viewers from last year’s season premiere. Blue Bloods (1.3, 10.4 million) was on par. CBS won every hour of primetime in 18-49 and total viewers.
Maybe they might schedule it like they did with S5 Person of Interest recently.

No Saturdays. Period.
It is a DEAD NIGHT.
Tuesdays. Entire final season of 13 episodes burned off in eight weeks.

They could do that between the Survivor seasons probably. Squeeze the 12 episodes into the 9 or 10 weeks from December to February, if they really wanted to get it over with.
Ok then. When would u like to see it air?
(I would like to see it stay with Friday nights, but I don't think that's going to happen...)
So, when was our BEST ratings?
Wait 2017 or have no more TAR forever :)
Wait 2017 or have no more TAR forever :)
NO!Do you comprehend that every race fan here wants to see the show back on air as soon as possible, but we're looking at logical timeslots that actually make sense?
WE CANNOT HAVE IT AIR IN 2017! We can't wait that long...
I would rather a Fri or Sat night timeslot in 2016, rather than a 2017 slot. (However, I know I will get hate comments, because I know the ratings will be terrible)
Wait 2017 or have no more TAR forever :)
... but it's unfair to compare Live +7 numbers from today with just the overnight ratings from Sundays, as DVRS still existed and had gains then as well.
Friday nights did not kill our ratings. It certainly didn't help, but 24 was a pretty terribly rated season, so the dip season 25 suffered really wasn't that much, factoring in Friday's lesser overall audience. With regular viewer erosion that had been happening for 5 straight seasons, we would have been down to the same levels by season 28 on Sunday.
None of CBS's new shows have stalled out of the gate yet, so we'll have to wait and see. Macguyver was sampled well, but got wretched reviews, so we'll see if the audience agrees with how bad it was and bails (knowing the filth that has survived on CBS for years, not holding my breath). The fact that it wasn't DOA probably means we won't get back in that slot anytime soon though. And contrary to an earlier post, I absolutely could have seen TAR going back there if Macguyver flopped, as it's the exact same scenario that happened with Viva Laughlin back some years ago (and correcting an earlier poster, that was season 12).
I personally think we'll get squeezed in Wednesdays at 8 between survivor seasons, possibly even 2 hours at a time since survivor is back by the end of February.
... TAR has never been a notable DVR performer, ...I guess I am the odd man out, then. I never watch TAR (or any other non-sports show) live any more, partly due to my aversion to advertisements.
Wait 2017 or have no more TAR forever :)
2017 will be good, stated on my post at the previous page, it will be first week of January. (e.g., January 5, 2017 will be Thursday).
Yeah this myth that Fridays destroyed the ratings is simply not true. It was already going down in ratings quickly in fake All-Stars (aka S24) and no episode reached a 2.0 rating in the key 18-49 demo.

I believe Andy is mistaken about this-- in a few ways. :tup:
We WILL see TAR 29, the question is when.
I do not believe they are casting for 30 at this time.
I do believe we WILL get a 30, the question is when.
TAR may well go to a once a year show, but it is NOT cancelled so far.
As best I know...
Season 30 of The Amazing Race is currently casting, and will film this winter.
Is it likely that Season 29 and 30 will air continuously?
I suppose that season 29 will air in December and season 30 will air in February, 2017

Andy is quoting outdated info from weeks ago. Does not match with the current status as far as we know....which could of course change.
So, when do we believe TAR30 will film?
Casting could happen quickly IF they use previous casting finalists or previous racers. But right now there is NO EVIDENCE for any casting or filming, in fact we have evidence suggesting it will not happen anytime soon.
In regard to S30, I'm thinking that they might want to see the response to S29's twist and then judge their next moves based on that.
I personally have a gut feeling that the general public will not be pleased with strangers being paired up instead of teams with pre-existing relationships, so if there's a big backlash, they might want to go back to the old formula for S30.

This is a weird statement. Why do you suggest that there's no evidence of casting when they're holding calls?
Holding calls is not "casting".
Holding calls is not "casting".
They're still looking for new applicants for a race that's going to be filmed at Time X. I've seen "casting call" throughout the day today.
TAR folks were here today - a sample tweet... Look through to see it being flung out a few times.
https://twitter.com/MarkZinni/status/783727866689183744 (news guy for the CBS station here in CT)
Even the advertisement from Mohegan Sun's site literally said "casting call".
There are no signs for casting at all right now, DESPITE that old update.
Barring some cataclysmic event at CBS headquarters where they somehow lost all their footage.
... it would find the airwaves during next summer at the latest.

Thinking about it, if CBS did lose S29's footage, they could just refilm it couldn't they? If not, they could use S30 as S29?
... it would find the airwaves during next summer at the latest.
And where would you stick it? Big Brother is the network's big summer show.
O for heaven's sake. It isn't lost.
Which still leaves 4 nights a week.
Yes, I was purely being facetious. It will air. The network has already paid for all the flights, all the crew, all the permits, salaries, etc. If it were pushed to summer, it could literally air any night of the week.

That's true. CBS wouldn't allow production to pay for the season again. I know this might be a stupid question but, do we want a summer a timeslot? Have TAR aired in summer before?
Summer is absolutely an option. It has happened twice before Season 4 in 2003 & Season 5
What were the ratings like?
Folks watch other stuff especially since it's the cable season during summer.
"There's no question which of the two came out on top. MacGyver averaged a solid 1.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 10.9 million viewers."
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-strong-macgyver-reboot-932283
I don't think we are going to see 29 this fall regardless of the other shows. :'(
**Hope to be Wrong**
I know this is going to get a definite "no" answer, but let's at least hear this: Chances of 29 being shelved completely?
EDIT: There have been shows that were filmed in its entirety, but for one reason or another, the series never aired.
It WILL air, but the question is WHEN
Man the lack of TAR on the airwaves is making some folks super paranoid. Calm down folks, another season has filmed, and WILL air. As one poster mentioned, it costs a LOT of money to film a season of the show. That investment would not be made if they didn't intend to air it. Is there a chance that we won't see it until summer, if CBS decides there's no holes to fill in the winter? Yes. But summer is generally a rerun-ridden wasteland on CBS except for BB and maybe one original drama (Zoo). So there is a ton of airwave real estate in the summer. Worst case scenario that is when we see it.
i miss the amazing race
I want Macgyver to do well. I don't want TAR back on Friday nights. Any other night of the week would be better.

AMEN!!
It's not going to get a better timeslot than Friday's at this point in its history (unless it airs during the summer). It could be worse with a Saturday timeslot.
Pure Genius has the 10PM time slot. I don't think they would put TAR on at 10 PM. It plays better earlier in the evening. However, Big Bang Theory is on at 8 PM and there is NO chance they would move it for TAR. I suppose they could put TAR on at 8:30 or 9 PM, but most likely they would want to have another comedy show (or 2 or 3) after Big Bang Theory.
What I was trying to say (not too well) is that I don't think they would put TAR on at 10 PM. I can't think of any reality show they has run at that hour. Usually dramas are shown at that time, or maybe a news-like show like Dateline or 20/20. If they cancel Pure Genius and want to put TAR on, they would most likely shuffle a few shows to get TAR on earlier. You make a good point about the CBS Thursday night comedies. I doubt they would move those around and break up a successful block of programming. Most likely they would shift a show from elsewhere in the week to 10 PM Thursday and put TAR on early another night. I have no idea what the possibilities are. I haven't examined the ratings and these are just my thoughts off the top of my head.
LOL....Amazing Race itself has aired at 5 pm. All of S5 aired there and part of S9.

The episodes are all gone from CBS All-Access and I don't see a lot of complaints... :groan:
This is worrying.
Either way, fingers-crossed. CBS should be announcing the midseason schedule as we near hiatus for multiple shows (FOX has already announced theirs).

No, I meant that if TAR becomes a CBS All Access exclusive then it's over for the show. They can't sustain a show like TAR for a service that still barely gets any subscribers.
TAR is not going to spur some big subscription drive for CBS All Access. And if CBS can't even be bothered to wait and air/burn off TAR in the Summer, then it's done.

It's a shame Phil didn't tell us WHEN though...Because he doesn't know or is not allowed to tell. :groan: We can't expect him to say something so specific before an official announcement.
CBS has yet to announce a full schedule for winter and spring. It has new dramas “Training Day” and “Doubt” and comedy “Superior Donuts” on tap for later in the season, along with Season 2 of “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,” the 29th edition of “The Amazing Race” and a new season of “Undercover Boss.”
Is that sure it will be in midseason 2017?
This opens up more questions than answers for sure.
My guess is they are still determining when to air 29, if there were editing issues it may be better to wait till summer....and if that happens...can they get a 30 in the can fast enough to run this spring if they want to hold 29 back till summer??
We may not have enough answers to be on the Midseason list of shows.
What? What's the logic behind this guess (airing S30 before S29)?
Could they air TAR29, after Survivor finishes?
I also disagree that TAR couldn't have fit between Survivor seasons. They could easily double up episodes on a few nights if they were serious about it. CBS actually just did this recently when they were airing the final season of The Mentalist.
:( Nothing in this article (https://www.cnet.com/news/star-trek-discovery-cast-michelle-yeoh-anthony-rapp-doug-jones/#ftag=CAD590a51e) about TAR, but it does shed some light about CBS's commitment to subscription streaming service.
It reports that the "new" Star Trek: Discovery series, coming next May, will go directly to subscription streaming. While this does not take up a slot on the broadcast summer schedule, it may indicate where more programs may end up in the future. Or worse still, they may be banished to the CW channel (like what happened to the Supergirl series). :tantrum :grins:
Why? WE NEVER EVER EVER WANT THAT TIME SLOT AGAIN!!!
TAR will be fine. The numerous international editions will keep it afloat.Those international editions can still air even if TARUS goes away.

Why? WE NEVER EVER EVER WANT THAT TIME SLOT AGAIN!!!
The Amazing Race is back for another (and possibly final) season on April 21 (8 ET/PT) that will extend into summer.
Here's what I think.
I really do think it is the producer's fault on why they are driving the show into the sunset. They did the so-called schoolyard pick. Why on earth are they deviating from the regular format AGAIN? We've had too many twists already since S.24. I thought getting social media stars with really big fanbases was a good idea to save the show, but no! Viewership just went down. Other than that, the timeslot move of the recent seasons are putting the show on a terrible spot, seriously Friday nights at 8pm??? not to mention the geoblock on all videos. I'm just getting really impatient and fed up. I really do hope TAR does not end up like American Idol.
Best thing to do, film Season 30 first, then show it first rather than the recently completed Season 29. Get a better timeslot, something more prime time (obviously not on a Friday) or family-friendly like Sunday. Just look at the previous seasons and capitalize on that success. Back to back "twist" seasons are irking TAR purists like most of us. Instead of doing casting twists or themed seasons why not tweak the Race instead that will surprise us viewers. To the producers look at one thread we have created here titled, Where are we going, suggestions for the future. That thread has a bunch of great ideas from all the people here at RFF who want to make the show better.
