Tell me it isn't so. I just heard the network canceled the Amazing Race.

I didn't know where else to put this so hope this is okay

Does anyone know if this is true or not?

I haven't read any official statements yet, but I read on a message board that it won't start until Spring of 2008.

I did a little researching and did not find anything about the show being canceled. I did read that it will start in 'early' 2008 and is not part of the CBS fall lineup.

The article also said that the 'non elimination' pit stops have been elimiated from the race.

Further there was mention of the fact the ratings for this show have fallen dramatically since they did the 'family' version .. with kids. I must admit that I rarely watched that season and wasn't as faithful a viewer last year either. I'd tape it and watch the final few minutes.

This is from MSNBC:

Q: When is the next season of Amazing Race scheduled to start — or is there going to be one this fall? —KJM, Oklahoma

A: Looking at the networks' fall schedules, many familiar reality shows appear: "Survivor," "Dancing With the Stars," even "The Bachelor." But one is missing: "The Amazing Race."

CBS has aired two seasons of the race almost every year since the race debuted in 2001, and for the past five seasons, they've stuck to a consistent pattern of debuting a new season ever fall and spring.

While that won't happen this year, the show has not been cancelled. In fact, a 12th installment has reportedly already been filmed.

Instead, CBS is holding that race for mid-season, which means it could appear in January or February. In recent years, the show's ratings have slipped and wavered, averaging about 10 million viewers an episode for the 11th season last spring. However, the Emmy-winning show has consistently delivered high-quality television, excepting the boring family season.

To refresh the series, there will be a few changes: The race will feature younger contestants, and it will drop the non-elimination legs. That means that, unless there's an extended, super-sized leg of the race, someone will go home every week.

Thanks for the official stance, FG. Knew you could uncover it. LOL

You scared the bejesus out of me!! I guess I picked a bad month to quit smoking. :laugh

Hey, every month is a bad month to quit smoking ... I have tried every month this year, and have not been successful

Glad it wasn't canceled

Oh well... one can dream...
