HOME > The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race 6'The Amazing Race 6' to air as part of 2004 CBS fall lineup
By Reality TV World staff, 05/19/2004
CBS revealed its 2004-2005 primetime schedule this morning, and there was both good news and bad news for fans of its Emmy Award-winning The Amazing Race program.
The bad news is that its turns out that the speculation of a recent Daily Variety report was correct. CBS has indeed decided to target the ratings Death Valley known as Saturday nights as a slot for an additional hour of reality programming, and unfortunately The Amazing Race 6 will serve as its guinea pig, airing at 9PM ET/PT on Saturday evenings. As with all the other shows on today's announced schedule, a premiere date has yet to be set. The surprise announcement explains why the network quickly began The Amazing Race 6 casting calls in March. In order to be able to film the program in time for a fall premiere, CBS and the program's Jerry Bruckheimer production company had no choice but to film the show by late summer, which means that the casting and pre-production processes had to begin several months earlier. Similarly, the "quiet" casting is likely a result of CBS' intentions to keep its plans under wraps until its fall schedule was finalized and formally announced. |
