The latest episode of The Amazing Race: All-Stars aired on Sunday, so it would make sense that I would write about what happened. What will everyone focus on now that Rob and Amber are gone? Will the old people get lost? Can the frat get frattier? Has Mirna become so shrill that she can only be heard by dogs? These are questions that need answers. Unfortunately, I am unable to give them to you because CBS sucks.
Instead of actually adjusting their television schedule to allow for basketball, CBS just pushes everything back without changing their program info. Thus, instead of The Amazing Race, I was stuck with 50 minutes of 60 Minutes.
While basketball is unpredictable, with many games going into overtime, CBS should be able to do better. If changing the program information isn't feasible, it only makes sense to make the show available elsewhere. With Viacom (CBS' parent company) suing YouTube for a billion dollars, one would think that they would be working hard to promote Innertube, CBS' sanctioned online presence. Unfortunately, a check of cbs.com shows that while they are airing full episodes of NCIS (that's still on the air? Really?) TAR is nowhere to be seen. Maybe Viacom should stop looking at YouTube as the source of their problem and look within their own doors instead.
