CBS - Amazing Race 13 - warning! FYI!

Good tip. It use to happen to me all the time, when Shark use to come on Sunday nights.

 

I set up my Season Pass last night and did just that. I was reminded to do so because I lost half of my 60 Minutes recording due to football.

 

Yes, in ET/CT, it's almost guaranteed that it will start/end late, since many weeks CBS has a late football game on and when it does, that game usually goes past 7, or they switch to one that is still going on if yours ends early.

Thanks for the reminder!

BTW, this thread should be in "Now Playing - TV Show Talk" or "Season Pass Alerts." I only saw it because it was at the top of the "recent threads" list when I logged on.

 

Yes...absolutely post this in the Season Pass Alerts forum. And we appreciate the reminder; I just set my SP, but forgot to pad.

 

As noted in my own thread in the Alerts forum, since we also record cold case, we leave TAR alone and Pad Cold Case by an hour.

 

I actually stopped watching this show because of this problem.

 

Ah, Yes.... The Heidi Effect.

 

At this point, it's the 60 minutes effect. CBS refuses to cut into that show. They really need to do what Fox does and just have a postgame show that is always on from 7-7:30 and just start sunday prime time a bit later.

 

One of the few times when living on West coast is an advantage for scheduling purposes...
I'm excited that this is the 1st season shot in HD (as is Survivor).

 

Really?

I don't recall hearing that.

ETA: Nope, not in HD, at least according to CBS.

phox

 

It was speculated that since Survivor was switching to HD this season that Amazing Race would as well. However, looks like that didn't happen after all for Amazing Race (Survivor will be in HD):

Guess that means I should switch the season pass to the non-HD CBS channel and save myself some space (especially with all the football padding)

 

No, keep it on the HD channel. Survivor will be in HD. CBS says so right on the home page for the show: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/.

 

I think he was talking about his season pass for the Amazing Race.

 

Agreed except it will forever be because of Heidi.

 

The Amazing Race is definitely NOT in HD. The producers said they were just happy to be renewed and currently had no plans to move to HD.

And I already set up my recording to pad an extra hour. I almost stopped watching CBD Sundays because of this, but I really like TAR.

 

correct.

it's cheaper than buying a dvr expander.
