That sound's about right, Taylor. Unfortunately, The Amazing Race has never been a big hit in the ratings. And I agree that airing out of 60 Minutes and into Cold Case is odd, but I personally like to end the week with it. quote: Originally posted by TAYLORJNG:
So, it's here exactly a week from now. I pretty much would be happy with any team winning except Rob & Amber and maybe Team Guido. But, I'm reserving complete judgment until I see the show.
How do you guys think the premiere will do in the ratings? I hope it does REALLY well, but I think it's in the wrong line-up. Sundays @ 8 is a good timeslot, but it's stuck between older-skewing shows and that's bringing down its 18-49 demo.
But, I think it'll premiere well. I'm guessing about 11 million viewers and a 4.0 in the demo.

I do remember that the Amazing Race 7 finale, the season that Rob & Amber was on when people cared about them, got series high numbers with about 16 million viewers and a 6.7 in the demo.
I also think AR has been one of the most solid shows, in terms of audience numbers, as long as you don't mess with the format or the night too much. Looking at AR's Wikipedia page, for seasons 1, 3, & 4 AR averaged about 8-9 million viewers each. Then it jumped to 11.5 million for season 6 and 13.0 million for season 7. The crappy family edition averaged 10.8 million and season 9, where they changed the night around 2 or 3 times, averaged 9.1 million. Then, season 10, back to its original format and staying on one night, averaged 11.45 million.
Unlike Survivor, the show hasn't declined in viewership throughout the years.
This is off-topic, but does anyone else roll their eyes at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition everytime they see one of their promos. I understand that what they do is great, and whatever, but I almost feel like they do it to the most disadvantaged people just so they can coax some tears out of people.

I stopped watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition because I honestly can't stand the forced tears anymore. The whole thing seems so manipulative. quote: Originally posted by TAYLORJNG:

I can't believe people can actually sit thru more than a few minutes of Home Makeover. It is just so over the top with their sad sack cases. Just pure treacle. But, whatever floats your boat I guess. quote: Originally posted by TAYLORJNG:

Perhaps they can start doing makeovers for people that can afford them.

That's not what I mean. Let me give you two examples. There's a family of three, two parents and a child. The child has some kind of cancer. Then, there's another family, two parents and two children. One of the children has cancer and the other one is an amputee for whatever reason, plus they're dog is blind. I think ABC would choose the second family, because it has THREE people/animals with ailments vs. the first one that has only ONE person with an ailment. But, are they truly MORE deserving of the house? Plus, the family's bills must spike up like crazy and in some situations, that might put them in worse position than they were in before. I just find the whole thing a little...fake. |

I agree. And I think the show has become much too staged and forced. quote: Originally posted by TAYLORJNG:
Nervermind, they were bad examples.
Basically, what I'm saying is that it seems like ABC chooses the families with the worst condition or the most ailments in order to coax the most tears.

I doubt CBS would pre-empt it that second week, so it will unfortunately get massacred by the Oscars. quote: Originally posted by TravisYanan:
Why is CBS premiering TAR: All-Stars next week when the Oscars are the week after? Are they doing a week on and a week off, or competing against the (usually) second-most-watched program of the year?
CBS really ought to try putting TAR in Survivor's spot between Survivor cycles.
