Eastern time, definitely. I just checked my on-screen program guide & it says AR is on at 9pm, W is on at 10pm.

I hope this week is an elimination round but I have a feeling it will be otherwise. I just don't know how much more I can put up with Colin.

Is the next AR really starting at the end of September? I think someone mentioned it on this thread somewhere but I was wondering where they got the info. I hope it's true!!! Just no more contestants like Colin unless he gets pushed over Victoria Falls!!!

It was me.....

I just pulled this off of the net:

"The Amazing Race 6" (CBS, 8 p.m. Sept. 25 on KFMB/Channel 8): Forget the camel races and the red-eye flights Dubai. The biggest challenge facing the globe-trotting contestants will be getting anyone to watch them on a Saturday night.

Don't they just repeat the AR on Saturday nites?

The new AR that is debuting on Sept 25th will always be on Sat nights, instead of Tuesday

'The Amazing Race 6' to air as part of 2004 CBS fall lineup

By Steve Rogers

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 good news is that in a surprise move, CBS announced that The Amazing Race 6, which is scheduled to film this coming August, will appear on the network's fall lineup. The move will mark the first time since The Amazing Race 3 and the first time in two full years that the series will broadcast during the traditional television season (both TAR4 and TAR5 have been broadcast as summer programming) -- a demonstration that the network appears to have strengthened its commitment to the critically-acclaimed but lacklusterly-rated series.

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.

I know just how you feel, I was missing evey Big Brother on Sat nights cause I was never home...UNTILL I got the DVR from my Cable Co. (Much like a Tivo) now it tapes everything...LOL

 

[Grog]

Saturdays....just great... I know I'm going to miss an episode or three if they do that. Guess I'll have to try and remember how to use the VCR

 

[Luckymommyx2]

I will be watching it on Saturday nights because I'm always home with the kids. I can just see it now, about week 4 CBS will decide it doesn't have strong ratings and pulls it "mid-race!" They always do that with the shows I start getting interested in!!!

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

Luckymommoy, I doubt they would yank it entirely--it would already have been all filmed at that point--but they might start playing "musical schedule" with it, which is even more annoying! I have no problems setting my VCR (note, people: frequently, you can set the VCR to tape a show weekly! Really, it's not that hard! Of course, my degree's in electrical engineering...)

Anyway, Sat. night won't bother me, but I can see how people with actual lives could get irritated.

Just a note- I got the newsletter this morning & they said it will be on at 8pm Eastern tonight.

Look like I'll have no problem tuning in.

That's weird, my on-screen guide says 8pm is Big Bro, 9pm AR.

 

[MaryJ]

I am in the Central Time zone and it's on at 8 here.

 

[sandbar]

My TV paper says AR will be on at 9 pm EST. I will check at 8 pm just to make sure! Thanks for the heads up on the time change. I know I would have tuned in at 10 pm and missed it.

OK, I miss checking this thread for a couple of days only to find out my program was on an hour early. AS a result, I only got to watch 30 minutes of it. Ah well. Previews for next week look interesting.

I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would give up a million $ for their hair. They should have been eliminated on principal. Talk about vain!

 

[KLAIT]

I laughed so hard when they took the fast forward....of all the teams, they were the ones I was hoping for....can you imagine being so vain as to give up the chance just because you are so vain???

Go figure!!!

GOOO Chip and Kim!!!!
