My guess is they want to hold it for fall, as they are likely going to be short fall programming. It may air in Survivor’s fall spot if they aren’t able to have the next season filmed and ready by then which doesn’t look likely right now.
-
Well that was fun
Heer goes.another postponed tar because they don't have the ball
-
Where there goes the only thing that was good about the next month. Lame. It's been ready to air for a year and a half, so how can the virus possibly affect it?

It sounds like a rethoric question, but speculation made that the sponsor doesn't want to advertise their product in the wrong time

I'm still rubbing my head of why TAR didn't like air the season in late 219 or early 2020, and when we have finally have the air date for the season they knock off the door and said "sorry to be a party pooper but we postpone your season to another indefinite day"
So freaking frustrating, and the racers must have been feeling the same
-
THIS. We will be blessed to have this spot. Sucks bigtime for the cast.

It is frustrating for us at all. . BUT this is NOT a plot, not a slight, not a conspiracy!!!
It is a huge compliment that they are likely giving TAR 32 the Fall spot this year, as it is looking likely that Survivor cannot film in time.
We will know more during the UpFronts in a couple of weeks.
Its going to be OKAY. :tup:
-
Well that's too bad. More time waiting for TAR. At least Tough as Nails has Phil K associated with it so it may be good. As for Game On - it sounds like Battle of the Network Stars with added sports players.
-
Maybe it would be a good few months to brainstorm ideas on how to promote season 32 as a "huge comeback" for the show in the fall. Drive up viewership again. Winners of this season, anywhere, I'm sorry these unprecedented events are treating you two like this.
-
Definitely a few good reasons to hold TAR for the Fall:
1. CBS sees they may not have enough inventory to fill its Fall schedule. (Especially Survivor)
2. Would get a great timeslot and likely against thin competition if other shows can't go into production in time.
3. TAR is a better and easier title to sell to advertisers in a Fall slot. It is an established show and a safer bet than either of the new shows they announced. (Including Phil's new show.)
3a. TAR would make more ad moneys in the Fall than in the Summer.
4. CBS wants to premiere "Tough as Nails" as an inspirational show during this time. Especially since it features America's blue collar workers I believe. Probably best not to have Phil on two different shows at the same time. (Though he could certainly become CBS' Gordon Ramsey of course lol)
-
Shocked but not surprised :(
-
I hate CBS
-
Watch this season just get dumped to All-Access at this point after waiting 8 more months :2hearts: :dick

What you're saying makes a lot of sense now that I've had a few minutes to digest the news. Being on in the fall could turn out to be the best news for TAR in years. As for your last comment about Phil vs Gordon Ramsey, I can't see Phil erupting and cussing at teams 5 or 10 times per show. :funny:
-
Watch this season just get dumped to All-Access at this point after waiting 8 more months :2hearts: :dick
Nah, if anything CBS might even pull All-Access shows to rerun on CBS itself. They wouldn't dump TAR on All Access, especially now.
It's actually turned out very positive for TAR that CBS has held on TAR32 this long. It has a chance to be one of the few shows with new episodes on broadcast primetime in the Fall. But CBS won't be able to capitalize on any possible renewed boost the show might get if TAR33 can't go into production any time soon. We'll just have to wait and see.
-
I expect we may get Big Brother in the fall as well, I think it could be a big boost for both shows. If Amazing Race knocks it out of the park in the fall as I expect it to, this could be the way we get back to two seasons per year. This scheduling could be a huge blessing for the Race.
-
I can see the benefits in airing as a Survivor replacement, but it's still annoying that CBS made the first announcement. Still, I feel terrible for the teams having to wait two years for their season to air. At the very least we'll still have another show with Phil. Part of me was surprised at first that TAR was originally scheduled before Tough as Nails considering it's a show honoring essential workers.
-
What a bummer now that the show has been postponed and hopefully have to wait in June or July. Again, no reality shows in the next 6-8 weeks for me. If it won't show up in July, September will be the final decision to air the season unless Survivor wouldn't be in the production lineup this year.
Have to wait for announcement of new air date.

BB would be hard to film with such tight quarters. I don't think we'll see it by fall...
-
This is extremely sad news, however, after thinking it through, I do agree with many other posters here. TAR32 airing in fall is very good news. There won’t be much competition, ad revenue’s will be good for the show and we may possibly get high ratings for show, which means we may finally be able to resume the two seasons per year, as pre-2015, once this coronavirus is completely eradicated from the world!
Well, I suppose it’s back to binging old seasons of TAR while I wait for September! :lol: :funny:
-
I can't believe, I waited for close to 2 years just for this season to air. I won't be surprised if they air this in 2021 or 2022.
:groan: :dick :furious: :whoop: :clap2: :lol:
-
CBS is continuing to treat TAR like ****.
Moving TAR32 to fall??? How is that good news? Just another half year of waiting for this to air. And as TARUSAFan mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if they postpon this again... (and then again and again) .
"But ratings will be better in fall.". And what? TAR30 and TAR31 have good ratings as well. CBS don't care about this show no matter of how high ratings are. Please just give up naive idea of two TARs at year/normal schedule for this show. It will not happen.
-
TAR31 is now no longer on All Access. If this is the network loving TAR then it sure is a fancy way to show it :)
-
:groan: :groan: :groan: :groan: :groan:
For all you that are still complaining, remember patience is a virtue, and please look at DryedMangoez' post earlier in this thread, as he gives good reasons as to why it's a good thing.
-
Let's keep in mind the facts about TAR32. It'll be at least a year and a half before it airs because TAR32 filmed November 2018 when TAR31 did not even have a premiere date yet.
Even though the earliest TAR31 could air would've been January 2019 in a schedule similar to TAR30's rollout.
CBS had not even officially announced that it had ordered TAR32 by the time it completed filming. There really wasn't an immediate need for TAR32 at the time, so we don't really know the discussions between CBS and Bertram & Co. that led to TAR32 getting the go-ahead to film so early. Starting with TAR29, it's been understood that the show had become a benchwarmer to step in whenever CBS needed it.
Now, TAR32 could just as well have filmed any time in 2019. The earliest CBS could've needed it would have been January 2020. But again, they didn't need it at that time.
Now with the coronavirus crisis affecting production of shows, networks need to consolidate the content they may already have to fill their line-ups. And with everything else in limbo for the Fall, The Amazing Race being an established series and title that is fully produced and ready to go makes it a prized possession these days for TV networks.
Let's remember, this is a business and it's all about advertising and how much money can they make. (Harsh, but it's the truth.) And holding The Amazing Race for Fall instead of essentially unloading it in the less lucrative Summer is a positive thing. Yes, it will make more money for CBS in the Fall than in the Summer. That makes the series more valuable for the network. And if it makes money for the network, it helps ensures that it can live another day.
..
Also, CBS can afford to premiere two new reality shows in the summer instead of TAR because as new shows, their ad rates will be lower regardless of Summer or Fall compared to a show like TAR.
-
TAR31 is now no longer on All Access. If this is the network loving TAR then it sure is a fancy way to show it :)
CBS' All Access has been getting worse by the year. I tried watching Magnum PI from the beginning when I had their free trial and none of the first season was on there.
It's on Apple TV though.
-
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.

That was indeed very stupid on CBS' part. But at the same time, and I'm not trying to be a corporate shill for CBS, they may have been more confident 2 weeks ago in having Survivor or other shows ready for the fall. Obviously, everything is very uncertain these days. And things can change day to day.
So while cruel to get fans' hopes up, there's certainly a good amount of leeway to be given during such an unprecedented situation.
Still, it should've been pretty obvious even back then that regardless of how better or worse the situation gets in the next few months, there WILL be holes on broadcast networks' primetime schedules. So they definitely shouldn't have scheduled a summer run in the first place.
But, this is the situation now. And we can just hope that this further delay can actually end up being very positive for the show in the long run.

Anyone have insight or opinions on this?? How or even will it affect TAR?
https://deadline.com/2020/05/nbc-sharon-vuong-1202924085/
Vuong spent three years as head of unscripted at CBS and nine years at the network overall.
At CBS, she oversaw series such as the network’s long-running reality franchises, Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race and Undercover Boss as well as Love Island, the U.S. reboot of the UK hit format.
-
Pure speculation but maybe it would make NBC more likely to pick up TAR if CBS decided to drop it.

I think her NBC transition will be good for their network for scheduling new reality competitions. Besides The Voice, the only other "alternative program" on that network that is still airing, that I can name off the top of my head, is Ellen's Game of Games which is kind of similar to The Price is Right's formatting.
This doesn't tell me who the new SVP personnel is at CBS and I hope he or she means well for evaluating The Amazing Race.
-
Sharon Vuong was not as closely involved with TAR during her decade at CBS as the.other CBS shows. Second, she’s one of the leftovers from the Moonves regime pre-merger.
I highly doubt NBCUniversal as a part of Comcast would be as interested in TAR simply because of TAR’s historic connection with Disney especially with international sales. And the types of reality competition shows NBC has had the last two decades are more cheaply produced. I just don’t see that happening.
The big issue for TAR at the moment is how long will it take for things to become more normal globally to resume filming season 33 and beyond.
That almost certainly won’t happen until next year once a vaccine and or treatment is in place and widely available.
Even if a vaccine is developed quickly, at least one vaccine is already in human trials, it will still take time to have that manufactured in sufficient quantities to meet the obvious demand.
-
Not since 27 has TAR been on the Fall schedule
I was disappointed they originally wanted to air this in the summer - this is hugely positive

I think so too! :conf:
And I don't think we ever have to worry about NBC. It is ABC that somehow has a piece of the action so if any other network were to have an interest it would be them.
-
TAR on Disney+ please :lol:
-
I actually thought about this, I’m not sure who controls the international distribution, but it would be great if we could get the international TAR versions streaming on either Disney Plus or CBS All Access.

They don't even show us the Canadian version. :funny: I think CBS, CTV (CAN), 7 Network (AUS), are different individual entities.

Second article adds this info:
At the time of her exit from CBS, Kelly Kahl, the network’s entertainment president, described Vuong as “an invaluable member” of the company who was “taking a wildly deserved break to spend more time with her family. While that often sounds like spin, in this case it’s absolutely true.”
Less than a month later NBC snapped her up. :duno:

- Survivor, a series currently watched by nearly 10 million viewers, returns for its 41st edition.
Someone at CBS caught the misprint and it now reads 41st edition.
(Very interesting to see only 1 season is mentioned as opposed to two. Do these types of press releases usually indicate 2 seasons of Survivor? Does this indicate that CBS is not confident that they can produce 2 seasons of Survivor in the upcoming broadcasting season with Covid-19?

Wait to reveal for next week on the 2020-21 scheduling upfronts.

Wait i thought they will aired S32 right after survivor? (https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/yoyo128.gif?w=150&h=150)
-
I am not optimistic about Survivor being on in the fall. But even if it would be, there will be other time slots for TAR. TV production is not happening right now or the foreseeable future.
-
Survivor isn’t in a position to even begin filming season 41. I’m starting to think the final remote reveal was filmed in advance, because CBS only very recently revealed which shows were on the fall schedule. TAR was on it, Survivor wasn’t. One problem for filming is being able to even travel to Fiji for filming. I have heard nothing about that, but flights even ithin the US are extremely restricted.
-
Several things:
41 and 42 are casted.
They do not HAVE to film only in Fiji...there are other options.
I think filming will start by Sept at latest...and it COULD be possible to edit on the fly...
The point? Never say Never.
They would love a trifecta of TAR, Survivor and BB on Wed this fall.
Anyway...yes they have much to figure out. But all things CAN be possible....
-
Also, keep in mind that recently, Survivor Second Chance did not start filming until May 31st as was ready for the fall. And if you go back to earlier seasons (Pearl Islands, Vanuatu, Guatemala), they did not start filming until late June and was ready by the fall. So there's still plenty of time. I'm sure they could possibly hold out until mid July to start filming, finish by the end of August be ready for premiere day by mid September.
-
Thanks for those dates Jimmer!!
-
Yes that is what it says. Perhaps they meant 21st YEAR? :duno:
41st season perhaps? (https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/yoyo128.gif?w=150&h=150)
so s32 really not on this summer eh? (https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/yociexp36.gif?w=150&h=150)
-
The 2020-2021 season includes the 20th anniversary of the beginning of filming TAR 1, i.e., TAR Classic, which was in early 2001. So that would mark the last of 20 years and the beginning of the 21st year.
