Million Dollar Mile: CBS to Air Unaired Episodes of Cancelled(?) Game Show

Million Dollar Mile will at least reach the finish line. CBS just announced they will air the rest of the likely cancelled TV show beginning July 6th. The series was pulled from the weekday schedule after two low-rated episodes had aired and moved to Saturday nights. After two more episodes had aired, the series was pulled off the Saturday schedule. While CBS hasn’t said that the show is cancelled, it’s hard to imagine that it will be back next season.

Hosted by Tim Tebow, the obstacle course competition show follows contestants as they make their way through the “Million Dollar Mile” and their biggest obstacle, an international team of top-ranked athletes which has but one mission — to stop the contestants from finishing the race and winning the prize.

The rest of Million Dollar Mile‘ season will resume on CBS on July 6th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
