CBS renews 'The Amazing Race

Find the amazing race |
After The Amazing Race 5 delivered impressive ratings during its Summer
2004 broadcast, CBS decided
to delay the premiere of the show's sixth season -- which was originally
scheduled to be part of the network's initial fall schedule but air in a
dismal Saturday night time period -- until the ratings failure of one of its new
Fall 2004 shows created an opening on CBS' higher-profile weeknight primetime
schedule.
The Amazing Race 6 eventually
premiered in November 2004 as a Tuesday night replacement for the network's
poorly rated baseball-themed Clubhouse drama. Since then, The
Amazing Race's next five installments have followed the twice-a-year
Spring/Fall programming schedule that most popular broadcast reality competition
franchises are broadcast on and been
ordered on a two editions at a time basis.
In addition to the show's declining ratings, a general lack of fall
schedule openings and a decision to pick up some riskier new shows that the
network is calling "daring concepts" also likely
contributed to CBS' decision to not place The Amazing Race's twelfth
edition on its initial fall lineup. CBS is only adding four and a half
hours of new shows to its initial fall schedule -- one of which will be
used to broadcast Kid Nation, a
new Lord of the Flies-like reality series that will follow 40 kids
between the ages of 8 and 15 who have 40 days to turn Bonanza City, NM, an
abandoned ghost town, into a fully-functioning town. Kid Nation will
air in the network's Wednesdays at 8PM ET/PT time period.
According to Daily Variety, Kid Nation (which has already
completed filming) was originally scheduled to air this summer until CBS
executives -- reportedly having "made finding the next big reality hit a
huge priority" -- became excited about the show's breakout potential
and decided to make it part of its 2007-2008 schedule.
With Survivor: China -- the long-running CBS reality competition
series' fifteenth
installment -- also scheduled to air this fall in the show's regular
Thursdays at 8PM ET/PT time slot this fall, CBS likely decided there just
wasn't enough room for a third reality series (especially a new edition of
another long-running reality franchise) on its initial 2007-2008 primetime
slate.
"We approached our development this year with a specific goal in mind - to
be daring and different," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said in
the network's schedule announcement. "The fall and midseason series we have
selected offer creativity and variety with great potential to excite and
surprise television audiences everywhere."
In addition to The Amazing Race, The New Adventures Of Old
Christine and Swingtown -- a "provocative" new
drama that will follow 1970's couples "reveling in the sexual and
social revolution that introduced open marriages, women's liberation and
challenged many conventional wisdoms" -- will also debut later in
the 2007-2008 season.
Despite averaging just under half a million more weekly viewers than The
Amazing Race's recently
concluded All-Stars edition (10.52 million versus 10.03
million), CBS decided not to renew Jericho, a drama about a small
Kansas town attempting to survive a nuclear attack that destroyed most of the
United States' major cities, for a second season. Close to Home,
a drama that averaged 10.33 million viewers in a Friday night time period
and like The Amazing Race, is also produced by uber-producer Jerry
Bruckheimer's production company, was also not renewed for a third season. The
Class, a first-year sitcom that only averaged 8.26 million viewers and
aired its season finale in early March, was also not renewed by CBS.
Last fall's The Amazing Race 10 edition (the show's most recent
non-All-Stars season) averaged 11.49 million overall viewers during its
12-episode run.
The Amazing Race 10 ranks 41th in the 2006-2007 primetime broadcast
season's season-to-date average total viewer rankings. Jericho
ranks 50th, Close to Home ranks 54th, and The Amazing Race:
All-Stars ranks 56th. The Unit and How I Met Your Mother
-- two other CBS shows that were renewed and be part of the network's
initial Fall 2007 schedule -- rank 46th and 57th respectively.
As is typical for midseason series, CBS has not announced when The Amazing
Race 12 will premiere, however The Amazing Race's twelfth
season will likely debut once Kid Nation or one of the network's three
other new one-hour fall series -- Viva Laughlin, an unconventional
mystery drama that incorporates Broadway musical-like singing
performances; Cane, an "epic drama" about a
Cuban-American family that runs an "immensely successful" rum and
sugar business in South Florida; and Moonlight, a romantic thriller
about a vampire who works as a private investigator -- end their runs, go
on midseason hiatus, or get pulled due to poor ratings.
