there's no accounting for what they do or don't do with shows. it's so frustrating to get into a good one and have it yanked away. i will never forgive abc for pulling the best show ever:
MAXIMUM BOB!!!! it's been 3 years or something, and i'm still pissed! had i known it would only go 7 episodes, i would definitely have taped it. anyone out there have it on tape?

New rumored start date: March 12th. still UNCOMFIRMED, but several sources are saying that date.

This date DOES make sense, however. If they do 11 episodes like last time (with two 2-hour eps planned) with no pre-emptions, a 3/12 start date means the last ep would be 5/21, the final day of the May Sweeps (and the regular TV season).

TiVo has Star Search on March 12th, and no Amazing Race in sight. Has anyone heard anything more about when it will start?

It now seems like it's been put off till summer...the competition might be tough, since a lot of reality shows are supposed to be airing, but it's a veteran series, so well see...

New York Times reported that its now a summer series.

From an article dated 2/24/2003:

CBS has announced three summer reality shows, including new seasons of "Big Brother" and "Amazing Race," and may add one or two more. Its main new entry: "Cupid," described by the CBS executive in charge of reality, Ghen Maynard, as "Blind Date" meets "American Idol." (Simon Cowell, the acerbic British judge on "American Idol" is one of the producers.) A young woman and her two best friends will form a panel to judge young suitors who must make an impression with their looks, talent or personality within 30 seconds. Ten finalists will then go on dates with the young woman, and the ultimate winner is chosen by audience votes.

Thanks for that link Ryn.... I can't wait for this show to start!

Thanks, at least it seems it will definitely be on ... eventually. I'm getting reality tv overload right now, lots on but none of it much good. Can't wait for AR4.

Gosh I feel bad for the players. This is like the Mole...they filmed it and have to wait 6 months to announce who won.

It's not so bad. I think filming would have wrapped around now. For the first TAR, they filmed it in January/February or February/March and they couldn't tell anyone about it until the final show aired in DECEMBER.

Well, with the world situation as it is, we better enjoy AR4, because it might be a long while before we get AR5.

For those of you that might be interested in doing something to occupy your time while waiting for The Amazing Race to air...I'm trying to start an Online Amazing Race in the game section of TVCH. If you'd like to check it out to see if you'd like to play...go to the game folder and look for TVCH-Online Ultimate Amazing Race. The rules are posted and if you want to play just let me know there in the thread...we won't be starting until we get at least 8 teams and not until after the weekend at least. Please check it out ... if think it might be something fun to do.

I read in Sunday's Paper that TAR4 is "in the can" and we should will see it this summer. The success of Star Search held it up. The good news is that it is filmed and ready to go. I can hardly wait. TAR is my absolute favorite show.

Kellsma, I'm right there with you. Although it's not my very favorite(CSI), it is my favorite reality show. I'm actually kind of glad they pushed it back to the summer now. Between TAR4 and BB4 I'll be reality showed out by August :)

AMEN to that!!! Besides there is nothing on in the summer but reruns!! I am so glad that I have something to watch now!

NO NO NO NO NO NO

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is very bad news. Just checked out this board to see when TAR was coming on. BB has regularly interrupted my having a life in the summer. (Less so last year when it was much easier to not give a hoot about any of em...cept Jason of course lol). I really must have a life this summer. I figured I could count on Arnie for terrible casting of people I can't stomach again this year and get on with it somewhat. But TAR too? Oh BAD BAD news. Least it's only one night a week...but then BB will be 3 again....oh I hope they put them on the same nite. I haven't had a summer life in years now damn CBS! I think I liked it better when there was nothing to watch. It was a good motivation to go do something. :)

Lurk - I'm with you. I need a life in the summer as well. BB2 was much better than BB3 though wasn't it? More 'scandalous' things going on (especially while Shannon was there, and Bunky was much more entertaining than Marcellas) despite what Danielle may have thought. I got into AR only last year but I can hardly wait for this one. We can only hope that AR and BB are on the same night!! If not, we can cry on each others shoulders about how we're spending our summer!

Lurk ~ I'm like you! I really really wanted TAR on in Feb. & March to help me get thru the winter blues and because of all the shows I can ignore in the summer, TAR isn't one of them. But at least it is only ONE night a week. I will just have to schedule all summer vacation trips around it and be sure we're in a motel and not camping on those nights!

Thanks you guys for the updates on this!

LOL well nice to see folks are agreeing with me...But sorry Blade I can't return the favor. I remain a BB purist. I liked BB1 when it was innocent and the "cast" were honest to goodness real people not Hollywood wannabee's. Ok true some of em were boring as heck real people and the show editing definately needed some work, but then Arnie came onboard and wanted to nuke the internet (forgetting it was why/how this show existed around the world) and just show anything that had jiggle or wiggle potential. How I love that man (barf bag someone please).

In BB 1 all the producers had names...remember Sexy Voiced Lady and oh geez if I think about it I'll remember them. We got to hear and see almost everything. With each passing year we get more and more FOTH and less of anything interesting. And given how interesting the occupants have been of late, that's sad. AND we have the pleasure of now paying for this "improved service."

Much as I personally liked Jason, he was NO Curtis. In those days you could sit at your computer laughing endlessly. Poor George losing his mind. Now that was entertainment. To me the last to seasons have just been Soap Opera meets allegedly real people...NOT! My enterainment has come from this forum versus what has been on my computer/tv.

I'll pop down off the soapbox now...though I do agree the Bunky and Kent show was far more interesting than anything last year. And vile as Will was he had some amusing moments.

And Kappy...I have one rule of thumb when traveling with or without TAR...I HOTEL!

:)

PS...sorry for going on a BB tagent in the TAR area...my Bad....but I wanted to answer Blade. But here I'll go back on topic. My only hope for a life this summer is if the BB casting people take over TAR. No that would be too sad to even jest about lol

The Amazing Race 4 will debut Thursday, May 29, on Canada's CTV, according to an FAQ on the network's site. The show was bumped from a planned February debut and no specific return date has been announced until now. The premiere date of the show in the US has not yet been announced, although it's unlikely that it will air on CBS after it airs in Canada. A Time magazine story about the show's producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, says simply that the show "returns to CBS this summer."
