The return of the Amazing Race

Set your Tivos or push up those season passes - the Amazing Race returns for another glorious season on November 4th!!

Thanks to the early demise of the (from what I heard) horrid Viva Laughlin, there is room in the CBS schedule to bring back the king of reality competition a little bit earlier than planned.

If you have never watched it, there is a reason this show has ALWAYS won the reality competition program Emmy. The premise is simple but creative - teams of two race one another around the world, completing tasks and challenges that involve them in the culture along the way. Backstabbing and scheming simply do not work on AR - it's all about teamwork and how the partners pull together and compliment one another's skill. And the casting is always terrific - there are always plenty of different teams and someone you can identify with and root for. Those things are what sets it above the Survivors and Big Brothers of the world.

So if you haven't seen the Amazing Race, check it out. If you have, you already can't wait for it to start.
