CBS's problem is that it doesn't really have a good place to put The Amazing Race. 8pm Wednesday is the best spot (and just cancel Kid Nation), but even that location isn't a proven success spot for the show. The other option is for CBS to try and find a second show that appeals to a younger crowd so that they have something to pair with The Amazing Race. The problem with adding a second 'young demo' show is that they will likely be making the same move as when they traded Close to Home for Moonlight. Is it worth it to CBS to give away millions of viewers in exchange for trying to attract a younger demo? If so, which of the 'old demo' shows should be axed? My guess: Shark.

The third option for CBS is to pair up The Amazing Race with an hour of additional comedy offerings. CBS has done the best job of any network in terms of keeping comedy on the primetime map in recent years. If CBS finds success with The New Adventures of Old Christine, that means that they will only need one additional comedy in order to leave the Monday lineup as it was at the start of the year and branch a comedy pairing off to a second night as a lead-out for the Amazing Race.

I think CBS should alternate The Amazing Race with Survivor. In this way you can have one edition of each during the season thus avoiding burning out the two franchises.

Why would CBS want to weaken Thursday night for half a season by putting The Amazing Race there?

Yes, we a talking about a difference of around 2 million demo viewers and 4 million viewers over all. I like TAR, but there is no way TAR could stand up on Thursdays. Survivor wins the demo on Thursdays, TAR would push CBS to second or third.
