Final episode date changed!
The ClubHouse: Archives: Final episode date changed!
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:29 pm   CBS announced that the final Amazing Race ep will be on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13th, at 9PM EST, right after Survivor. |
Kep421 | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:33 pm   WooHoo!!! That's great, my two favorite shows in the same night...Jeez, I can't wait!!! |
Dino | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 02:14 pm   anyone know why? |
Crazydog | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 02:24 pm   I'm hoping it's because CBS finally realized that the show is not doing as well as it had hoped because it is up against the West Wing. This is a good move, and I hope they see that with a better time slot and a good lead in the Amazing Race 2 will be a ratings blockbuster. Too bad it took them this long... I'm afraid that many who watch Survivor but not The Amazing Race will be lost and confused and shut it off right away. The good thing is that there will definitely be a TAR2, unless plans change. |
Fifi | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 02:25 pm   They probably did it to give TAR a ratings boost. Since Survivor (despite declining ratings) attracts some 15-20 million viewers each week and TAR attracts an average of 10-11 million/week, maybe TAR's final episode will be watched by a few more million viewers! That can only bode well when TAR2 premieres next year! ;) |
Car54 | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 02:37 pm   I don't want it to end!!!!!!! I wish they would just keep racing! |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 07:13 pm   And a side effect of this move....CSI (which will air at 10PM EST that night only) and ER are supposed to be both airing new eps, so this will be the first time new eps of both shows will compete head-to-head. |
Quietstorm4 | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:56 am   The VCRs will definitely get put to use that night...Survivor, CSI/ER, Amazing Race/TI2. Plus I have class on Thur. night so I can't watch any of them as they air. |
Realtvfan | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:52 pm   With CBS moving the AR final episode to the Survivor night, that means the first 10 to 20 minutes of the final AR show has to be rewritten to have a recap of the race to this point. CBS has to try to gently introduce quite a few Survivor fans who have never seen AR to the contestants so that these new fans can feel interest in the show. |
Quietstorm4 | Monday, December 03, 2001 - 06:27 am   Amazing Race - Race to the Finish Type: Network Series / Reality Duration: 1 hr Description: The three teams race from Alaska to the finish line in New York in a quest for the $1 million prize. Host: Phil Keoghan. (In Stereo) |
Tbear | Friday, December 07, 2001 - 03:21 am   WILSONATMD, THANK YOU!!! I didn't know that the show was re-scheduled for Thurs. as opposed to the regular Wed. slot. I hope everybody finds out about this!!! Tbear |
Ophiliasgrandma | Friday, December 07, 2001 - 09:57 am   Maybe if we all work together to keep this at the top of the list nobody will miss the last show. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 12:36 pm   I had no idea!! THanks for the heads-up. Sigh.. Survivor vs Friends vs Popstars at 8pm (west coast). Amazing Race vs TI 2 at 9pm, CSI vs ER at 10pm. For me, Survivor, Amazing Race and ER are the tops but will be taping others.. I've had a Wednesday night class all season but we graduate Tuesday so this was to be my first "live" AR on a Wed. I'm going to miss AR. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 04:50 pm   Just moving message back to top. |
Misslibra | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 05:20 pm   Thanks for the info, didn't know about this. |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 07:12 pm   bumping this....It'll be interesting to see the ratings for Thursday. CBS has been running neck-and-neck with NBC all season, and this shift, IMO, is more to just let TAR get a good sendoff. CSI and ER are both going to have new episodes, and ER has had a down year so far. This might be the time to see if they can make a dent in the ratings. |
Tbear | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 12:00 am   I am helping Ophiliasgrandma move this to the top-Great idea! Also, I posted the info under the "Place Your Bets" thread, as they have many people on that threat to play Judy's Star Game. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 06:51 pm   Thanks for posting this I would have missed it. |
Demented_Freak | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 11:08 am   this is a must see TV night. however, I wish it was tonight, I hate to keep waiting ;) |
Meme9 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 03:48 pm   This is my last quiet night and I'm bummed out! This was the perfect night for the last show of TAR. Tomorrow night I pick up my college kid, and the house will not be quiet, and if I tape, haven only knows when I'll get to watch between putting up tree and everything else. (I haven't even started decorating or shopping or baking! Now I've made myself tried just thinking about it! hehe And we still have two more birthdays in the family to celebrate before Christmas. Maybe I just skip to January, yes that sounds good.) |
Tksoard | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 03:58 pm   That sounds like what my mom always said (seven kids in our family). All she wanted for Christmas is the day after!!! Moms are so wise!!  |
Meme9 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 06:38 pm   Tk, give your mom a hug and tell her everything is just the way you like it. You will make her Christmas great. |
Tksoard | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 06:51 pm   Meme, I wish I could. She's 500 miles away, but I do hug her in my thoughts!! Thanks!!  |
Meme9 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 07:15 pm    |
Deedee | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 06:45 pm   It's Awwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn now! What a nail biter |
Tbear | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 11:34 pm   Meme9, So... you are still going to tape it and watch it then, in January?!? You deserve to see the end and will enjoy it, even if you know the ending. I know what it's like when the house is quiet and a certain show would be perfect on at that time wrather than another time. IF I am off the mark, just say so because I don't know you.....Perhaps- A New Years Resolution for you is to Delegate! Delegate! Delegate! No wonder you are tired. It doesn't sound like any of the house's non-quiet family are pulling their weight. Hug yourself by putting yourself first. You can get tired which is being overwhelmed, when you are taking care of everyone else and not yourself. You have to come first or you will become resentful, or worse, ill. |
Wilsonatmd | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:33 am   Ratings are in- Amazing Race came in second in the time slot to NBC, it got an 8.4 rating/13 share (about 8,500,000 viewers, and 13% of the people who were watching TV at the time watched the Race). For the record, NBC got a 12 rating/18 share average for that hour, just for comparision. |
