Love The Amazing Race!!!!! Please don’t cancel. Maybe show in an earlier time slot but definitely don’t cancel!!!!!
One of the best shows on tv…this season has been the most interesting… please don’t cancel it, maybe if you didn’t keep moving it’s time slot around it would do better in the ratings
Please bring the Amazing Race back for Season 30 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the Amazing Race please do not cancel this beloved show !
I am an avid fan of The Amazing Race and hope to continue watching the show for seasons to come. CBS, I have one complaint that TAR has not been provided a stationary home like Survivor & Big Brother. As a loyal fan please consider a stationary viewing time so we all can continue watching, enjoying, living vicariously and exploring the numerous exciting locations.
If Elementary gets the axes, then they can move Amazing Race back to Sunday night.
Amazing race is….well amazing. It’s just a beautifully shot program. Love it. Always have, always will. Please bring TAR back for 2017-2018 season.
It is my favorite TV show ever! Best time for it was Sunday 8 pm. If CBS cancels it, I won’t watch that network, because this is the only show I watch.
Love the show. with the change of schedule to Thursday night and all the waiting to figure out when it’d premiere, I ended up missing up on it. I was still waiting… Maybe other people had the same problem… no wonder the ratings went down. TAR has pretty loyal fans
I would hate to see TAR cancelled. I love seeing all the countries and customs. I’ve learned so much watching this show. I don’t care what time or what day it’s aired, as long as it’s on! I’ll always tune in!
love the show, but put on a somewhat earlier time please.
Keep the race going. Needs an earlier time slot. One of the few quality reality shows there is.
I am their biggest fan! It’s my very favorite show… nothing better. If you can’t afford to travel the globe or physically can’t, what better way to see the world?
Sure is a lot better than some of the “junk” on tv now.
Frankly I’d like it to go, and see something better in its place. There are way too many reality tv shows on. This one has overstayed its welcome.
That show is still on? Not a fan.
