This is what happens when the idiots at CBS put us up against season finales on every network and give us a cancelled show as our leadin
I stumbled across a list of events happening on other shows during the May sweeps periods (from tvline.com):
Number of characters giving birth: 3
Number of couples having s-e-x, kissing or saying “I Love You” for the first time: 29
Number of new pregnancies: 4
Number of weddings: 8
Number of couples reuniting: 11
Number of fatalities: 44
I'm not sure how TAR competes with all that. First of all, let's rule out fatalities. Aside from being tragic and sad, the liability would be staggering. TAR's done couples kissing, saying "I love you" and couples reuniting. I don't think that would be new and fresh. Maybe a pregnant racer or an engaged team getting married as a speed bump?
Maybe TAR needs something new and way outside the box. Like an 8 PM time slot or something like that.
