I’m from England, where we don’t get The Amazing Race, so when I moved here 5 years ago it was all new to me. I must say that The Amazing Race is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! It is interesting on a number of levels – the human stories, the actual race itself, and the various obstacles and challenges the contestants face, and the countries that they travel through, all this makes it, well, Amazing!!!
Please let’s have more of them!
Please Please! Do not cancel THE AMAZING RACE! This is an important show for my family close and extended. We love it and get very involved with each team. It would be heartbreaking to lose it. Nothing on TV can take it’s place for us.
The only major network TV show I still watch.
Please don’t cancel this show! It is one of very few shows that I can watch with my son that teaches him about the world geography and how people get along.
The best show on television would be so disappointed if this wasn’t renewed.
LOVE The Amazing Race. Please do not cancel this show.
I have been a huge fan of this show since it started. To cancel it would be a grave error. You have put it in a horrible time slot. This show is worthy of a prime time slot. I love this show!
I have watched frim the beginning and will always be a fan! Bring back the cowboys…lol! Please don’t cancel this award-winning show.
Don’t cancel Love to watch the “The Amazing Race”
Best show on tv…been watching since the beginning…never missed a show. Wasn’t happy that it kept changing time slots, but with ON Demand, I never miss a show if I can’t watch it at the regular time. Amazing shots. I have to say, I really like this season–wasn’t sure how it was going to pan out with strangers as partners, but love it. I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I will be real bummed.
Been a fan of The Amazing Race since it started, I’m hoping it will continue for many seasons to come. Great entertainment.
I have been a loyal fan of The Amazing Race since the beginning. I and many others would be very disappointed if it were cancelled. Put it in a better timeslot. At 10:00 pm parents can not watch with their kids.
Please do not cancel Amazing Race! It’s one show I look forward to every year, already disappointed it went down to one show a year!
I love the Amazing Race. My daughter and I watch it religiously. We always try to figure out which one of us would do the challenges. I would watch it no matter what time it’s on or what day.
I absolutely love the amazing race! It is the only show on television that I watch every single week. I get excited every time a new season begins and would be so upset to see it taken off the air.
