more from the schnauzers:

"A poster at TWoP, who works at a CBS affiliate, has just posted that
he has received the affiliate's program order from CBS for TAR 4 to
premiere THURSDAY, May 29 from 8:00-9:30 pm eastern time."

at least now we have more than Canadian confirmation-not that there's anything wrong with that, eh?

<edited to add: uh, grooch, three posts up? ..mick gets out the trout>

I've been looking all over too,found pretty much bits and pieces,but no verification yet.One poster mentioned this though,if you go to the CBS website,and click on Tar3,then change the 3 to a 4,you get a not verified to look at this page. I did it,and it's true. The poster seems to think this means the website is ready to go,just waiting for the announcement of the show. I don't know about that,but it would be a handy time for them to show it. Survivor is ending and so is Star Search (for now).I'm hoping they announce it this week.

I think the Thursday slot is good....it's in the Survivor slot, which gets people remembering that slot...I hope that they start promoting the show during Survivor, that way, they remember what comes on when Survivor is over.

I'm so excited! I love this show; and it's because of the people here I watch it. So glad it's coming back at the end of the month. I figure, by the time this ends, BB will be around the corner. Woo Hoo!

the poster at TWOP who works at a CBS station got a preliminary schedule, and right now, it looks like AR4 will be 11-13 eps (not known about double-leg eps) over 15 weeks, ending September 4th. So there will be some preemptions. (Speculation is that July 3rd might be a prempt for a 2 hour BB4 debut ep, also CBS usually has a preseason NFL game or two in August on Thursday nights).

Based on the promo duing Survivor, it seems the starting point is in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Dodger Stadium? No one will even get to first base......that means that one team is still virgins, doesn't it?

I am so glad AR is back this season. I was worried there just a little bit that it wouldn't happen. American's seem to be disliked by many nations these days.

Do you think they traveled through France or Germany? Ha!

media is already setting up. go to their main page and look under shows. you can register, but you can't play yet. it says 'picks are now locked', but it just means it hasn't opened for first picks yet...

Phil will be doing the media rounds tommorrow. He will be on The Early Show on CBS and then he will be on "Live with Regis and Kelly" (actually Pat and Kelly- Regis is off and Pat Sajak will be guest-hosting)- check the local listings for that.

T minus 13 and one half hours and counting until AR4 premires! Woo hoo! I'm missin' my reality tv show fix.

I'm trying hard to get my sister to watch the show. She's all, I don't watch tv during the summer, thing. But, I'm trying to change her mind for AR. Wish me luck!!! LOL!

some news on the premiere....possible mild spoilers, but nothing major:

TVGuide talks to the excutive producer:

USA Today gives it Three stars:

Dallas/Fort Worth Star article:

The Philadelphia Enquirer says: "If they ran Survivor twice a year until I died, I would never tire of the always-changing mix, even if the wilderness is less perilous than the show's shrill puffery would have you believe.

In almost every way, The Amazing Race is better."

The Arizona Republic has an article from the Chicago Tribune:

(thanks mods, I haven't got the hang of putting in shorter links than the actual link)

Phil was on Regis and Kelly this morning...standard stuff about the premiere, but here's an interesting bit of trivia (at least I didn't know about it)...Phil was in the running to be the host of Survivor. In fact it was between him and Jeff Probst for the job. (They knew each other from their days on the FX cable channel earlier in the 90's)
