The Amazing Race for UK...please !
I've been watching Expedition Impossible the last few weeks and whilst it's ok, it makes me pine for the early series of The Amazing Race which we used to get on UK tv. Does anyone know of any channel showing any series of the US TAR or know any way to access episodes?

We got Season 5, 9 and another which number I don't remember but even reruns of these would be great.

Sorry I don't know of any channel showing it, which is bizarre as it was a great show. It must be really expensive to buy or something.

Still. if anyone knows of it being shown, add me to the list who wants to know.

One answer may be that Sky bought Challenge, which used to show TAR.
Bizarrely one of the options in Sky's "Never Miss" is:
Quote:
The Amazing RaceSeason 15 (UK broadcast status unconfirmed)
- but unfortunately this has been there for at least a year with no sign of any change...

^That's really odd.

Sky screwed themselves when they first showed S1. Instead of letting it run out in its timeslot they shifted it to the middle of the night and them presumably didn't know why people stopped watching.

What is it with people on this forum? Shows get burnt/moved because no one is watching, not the other way round. It was what happened with Breaking Bad and The Amazing Race

I think it wouldn't have worked, US gameshows generally don't do well over here anyway. Especially 22 week long ones...

Sorry, I've not seen the Amazing Race, I assumed it was a full length season, I do apologize, but the point still remains. Recurring reality challenge (Game?) shows haven't been that successful and being an import only weakens it's chances...

It does normally have 2 cycles a year, and it's fantastic!
