I think TAR will end this year.


CBS will burn off the last filmed series April through June.

They will replace TAR with Hunted. The former has 0.9 demo ratings while the latter has 4.1 and 1.4 ratings for the first three episodes.

I haven't paid attention to the Hunted yet, are they from the same producers and production company? If so, then I'd unfortunately tend to agree with your assessment.

If not, I could still see CBS greenlighting a season and then holding it in the can until they need it as a filler. It still has a guaranteed loyal following, not enough to put it in prime time slots, but if they need a Friday-Sun filler, it fits in well.

I hope you are wrong.

I watched the pilot episode of Hunted last Sunday and it was awful. Haven't seen a pilot episode that was so awful since Jessica Jones. CBS would be crazy to replace TAR with Hunted.

I watched about 5 minutes and that was more than enough for me.

I refuse to watch Hunted. The more hype they give something the more I'm turned off by it.

Especially if countries react to Trump's travel ban by issuing their own travel bans against Americans. The Race will come to a screeching halt as everyone gets sent back home. One day we will look back on this show with nostalgia.

Yeah, how could this race go on if they couldn't go to Sudan and Iran?

Death to shakeycam directors!

If the ban stands, other countries will retaliate and treat Americans as they treat others. i.e. Australia, China and anyone else Trump cold calls when he is in a grumpy mood.

So... no change at all, and the race will continue.
