The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fourth announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on CBS.
The king of the networks easily remains in charge despite "Elementary" being their only fresh hit of last season's new shows. The network's line-up remains fairly stable with only a few key moves such as Thursday being expanded to include two hours of comedy programming, and "Hawaii Five-0" moving to Fridays.
Several other pilots didn't make the cut this week including the series sequel to the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies, a TV version of the comedy "Bad Teacher", the "NCIS" mobile spin-off "NCIS: Red," a procedural based on Leif G.W. Persson's literary homicide detective Everett Backstrom, the Frank Marshall-produced political thriller "The Ordained" about a priest turned lawyer trying to save his sister from assassination,...

Chicago – When you’re the #1 network on TV, it must be tempting to stay the course. However, CBS always shakes things up a bit and this year is no different. The 2013-14 schedule, announced this morning, features four new comedies (including a new comedy block in one of their most successful time slots) and one drama, along with new time slots for big hits “Person of Interest,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Hawaii Five-0.” The five new shows feature a stunning degree of star power with lead roles taken by Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Margo Martindale, Tony Shalhoub, Toni Collette, Will Arnett, Tate Donovan, Allison Janney, and more. It must be nice to be #1.

Here is Sean Furfaro's recap of The Amazing Race - Episode 6.
The preview for this week’s episode of The Amazing Race teased a major meltdown by Luke at one of the tasks for this leg of the Race. Could I actually be that lucky? To have the ultimate Mama’s Boy eliminated on the same day as the North Carolina Tar Heels were bounced from the Ncaa Tournament? Let’s find out.
My Random Thoughts:
- In my first recap of the season, I said that I would be doing a season-long “Goth Count”, to see how often Kent and Vyxsin said the word “Goth.” Well, we’re six episodes into this season, and we still haven’t heard it yet, so I’m tossing it aside.

Here is Sean Furfaro 's recap of The Amazing Race, Episode 8.
When I saw last week’s preview of the Double U-Turn coming up in this episode, I braced myself for the invariable whining and complaining from the team that gets U-Turned. As readers of my Amazing Race Recaps from previous seasons may remember, I am a big proponent of using the tools that are available to you to win the game. It’s the same concept as a stolen base in baseball…it’s not unethical or ‘dirty’ to do it, even though the name ‘stolen base’ itself is a connotation of wrongdoing.
In previous seasons, we’ve seen teams get riled up over being U-Turned, but if you’re not willing to use the U-Turn with only 5 teams left in the Race, then you don’t really want to win. As I stated last season when Brent and Caite U-Turned Carol and Brandi,...

On the finale of The Amazing Race last night, the long shot came home to win, but luck certainly had nothing to do with Dan and Jordan being victorious.
Even though they were the second favorite on my pre-race predictions behind Jet and Cord, I downgraded them to being half as likely to win the race with just three teams left. My rationale was based more on the strength of their competition – Jet and Cord and Brent and Caite – than anything negative about Dan and Jordan.
Perhaps I was a little too influenced by the melt down that Dan had in the cab last week while trailing Louie and Michael. In my defense, it was an all-time classic melt down, but really that was the only poor reaction or bad decision the brothers had made in quite some time. Beyond that, they’ve been nothing but a strong team for...

This recap discusses who won last nignt's episode of The Amazing Race. Stop reading if you don't want to know the winner. This is your last chance!
Okay...
The gays won! The gays won! The gays won! Well, the gay won, and so did his brother as season 16 of The Amazing Race finished up in San Francisco last night. Things got dicey early when Jordan put his backpack in front of the sleeping cowboys in the ticketing line, but it was clear sailing once Dan talked him and Jordan into first class after they were on the plane.
Last week's promos played up a "twist" at the end of the race, which basically turned out to be nothing more than Brandy shouting at Caite while Carol prayed that the ground would open and swallow her so she wouldn't have to hear it anymore.
Super congrats to Dan and Jordan!

Louie and Michael started The Amazing Race with a bold claim: they'd finish first in every leg. Well, that didn't happen, and they struggled for most of the race, save for a couple of legs in Europe. But that's not how I remember the two of them. I'll perhaps remember them for the decisions they made during their run on the show: their controversial U-turns, their alliances, and their intentions.
I got to talk to the detectives early this week, where we discussed their U-turning Joe and Heidi, their attempted U-turning of Carol and Brandy, and their relationship with Brent and Caite.

And then there were three.
Last night The Amazing Race field was whittled from four down to the final three that will race for the one million dollar prize and Louie and Michael were the odd team out. Although they were saddled with a two hour deficit on Dan and Jordan and a Speed Bump for finishing last the previous leg, neither factor did them in (well, at least not directly). Their inability to handle concentration challenges gave Dan and Jordan enough time to squeak ahead of the detectives.
I say that neither factors directly led to their demise because the two hour deficit that Louie and Michael had to overcome was as a result of Michael struggling with the puzzle last week. Ultimately it did not matter because Dan and Jordan burned that entire lead getting nowhere with the Garden Bridge clue to start the leg.
Imagine if they...

Of Nerdists and Muppets, Broadway is booming, Carol Burnett is a goddess, plus Ken Paves shows why men don't wax (we're wimps).
Next month Reichen Lehmkuhl takes the stage in My Big Gay Italian Wedding, and we’ve just learned that a portion of every ticket sold will be going to Broadway Impact for marriage equality. Plus, Reichen isn’t terrible to look at.
TruTV has announced a development slate, and a few caught my eye. Rogue Society is a hidden camera show dedicated to exposing bigots, jerks and scammers through pranks. The Naked Office is a therapy show, but fairly literal to the title, and Exposed is from Ashton Kutcher, and involves public nudity as a social experiment.
We all know my disdain for the board game movies (except Candyland), so you’ll forgive my cynicism about Ridley Scott saying that Monopoly will be all about greed. All you...

China. The far east empire home to vast natural landscapes, bustling urban metropolises, and questionable civil liberties. But more important, China is the setting for The Amazing Race this week. Four teams remain; New England cops Louie & Michael, brothers Dan & Jordan, dating couple Brent & Caite, and Oklahoma cowboys Jet & Cord. Refreshed from the expulsion of season-long enemies Carol & Brandy, the four remaining teams began the leg in a very amicable manner. Nobody fought, backstabbed, or forged alliances. For a reality-competition program, this is uncharted territory....

Carol and Brandy is the sort of team that'd split opinion. Take it from me on this one: in the early legs of the race they came across as this annoying, snobbish team. In the later legs, however, they got their act together and became this focused team, and suddenly I don't mind seeing them far on the race. So, I'll admit, I felt a little bad when they got U-turned in Singapore on The Amazing Race last Sunday, and were consequently eliminated.
The couple were known for their many lines--witty, rude, choose your pick--and I got to experience just that when I talked to them early today. We talked about their early bickering, their opinion towards Brent and Caite, and that "valet parking" line in Los Angeles.

Caite Upton and Brent Horne seemed to have it out for Carol Rosenfeld, 47, and Brandy Snow, 40, from the beginning of The Amazing Race this season — which was news to the couple. "We both had separate conversations with her and Caite talked about [her infamous answer at Miss Teen USA 2007] and how she overcame it. I remember specifically saying, 'Good for you,' so to find out how much she hated us was a complete shock," Carol tells TVGuide.com. The models' self-described hatred culminated in them U-Turning Carol and Brandy in Sunday's episode, leading to their anger-filled elimination. Get the duo's take on the so-called "feud," why they think Caite in particular was after them, and if they would've used the U-Turn on the models.

This week’s episode of The Amazing Race certainly was not one of the most dynamic legs we’ve ever seen, but it was definitely one of the angriest.
Check out some of the quotes from this week:
Brent: Ladies get their way. Bitches don’t.
Carol : They U-Turned us because you’re prettier than she is”
Brandi: She’s on You Tube for a reason.
Carol: Get a good long shot of that bitchy mug
Well! Certainly sounds like somebody is pissing off some players on the race.
As it turns out, this was a battle that had been brewing since the very beginning of the race when Carol and Brandi insulted Caite for her colossal public embarrassment during the Miss Teen USA pageant in 2007. Brent and Caite (rightly) took umbrage with the humiliation from Carol and Brandi and have had a vendetta against them ever since.

'Amazing Race': Who was eliminated last night? I don't watch "The Amazing Race". I just can't find anything interesting about a group of people chasing clues across the country. So it's all thanks to our friends at On The Flix for keeping us informed about the show.
Dan and Jordan were fortunate to get a 'Fast Foward' challenege which allowed them to gain a significant advance over the other teams. Since they finished the challege first, they won a motor bike. Brent and Caite finished in second place and Jet and Cord wound up in third place. In fourth place was Louie and Michael.
Carol and Brandy finished in last place due to having to complete a challenge involving a U-Turn which through them completely off course. With that said, Carol and Brandy were eliminated from last night's episode of "The Amazing Race".
What do you guys think?...

Here's the thing. Most of you must be happy to see Carol and Brandy go. And I know where you're coming from: they may have run a strong race in later legs, but they're quite the mean folk. But I'm not happy to see them go, because they've been replaced by more mean folk. Oh well. I'm just happy the cowboys are still around.
Want an explanation? Here are my post-leg honors for last week's The Amazing Race. There's a rude jab, there's another rude jab, and there's an unintentionally rude jab. And then there are the cowboys, nice as they can be. With four teams left in the competition, this should get really obvious.

I’d like to apologize to Dan and Jordan. Throughout the entire season, I’ve commented that the brothers are equally irritating and incapable. Whether it be their inability to drive a stick shift, their Jimmy Olsen-caliber wide-eyed naivety, or their especially effeminate mannerisms and diction, Dan and Jordan have just rubbed me the wrong way since episode one.
In retrospect, it’s more than just luck that’s propelled this duo into the final five. Dan and Jordan have this certain unnameable quality that places them among the upper echelon of teams. Unlike dating couples Brent and Caite, or Carol and Brandy, there’s no stereotypical reality TV backstabbing and double-faced tactics. Unlike headstrong brothers Jet and Cord or cock-of-the-walk police officers Louie and Michael, Dan and Jordan emanate a sense of humbleness, of humanity, of fallibility and self-deprecation. Dan and Jordan are the most human, they’re the...

Dan called this week’s leg of The Amazing Race the most difficult the racers had faced so far, but what made it challenging, specifically Dan and Jordan and Steve and Allie, were the tough decisions they needed to make during the leg.
Michael said it best when he reiterated an age old The Amazing Race adage that a cab can be the difference between winning and losing a million dollars. Typically the statement pertains to the cab drivers and how fast they drive, what route they take, etc. This week the cabs were a vital component to the episode, but only with respect to how the teams managed their cab rides.

Typically the statement pertains to the cab drivers and how fast they drive, what route they take, etc. This week the cabs were a vital component to the episode, but only with respect to how the teams managed their cab rides.

Sound off in the comments section and be sure to come back next week as I'll be discussing each episode of The Amazing Race all season long. Next week on The Amazing Race ("Dumb Did Us In"), the teams head to Singapore, where Dan and Jordan have to contend with a crippling fear of heights and Caite and Brent square off with Carol and Brandy.

Upon arriving at the Roadblock and seeing Jet and Cord leave to go check in first at the pit stop, Carol asked Brandy, "How could they be that far ahead?" That's a fantastic question, considering they went from last to first despite having a Speedbump to complete; that was an The Amazing Race first, as Phil explained when they checked in, calling it "unbelievable." Perhaps even more impressively, Jet and Cord left the airport behind...

This week’s episode of The Amazing Race takes place in Malaysia, the archipelago nation of southeast Asia. The tropical climate was well-received by front-runner father/daughter team Steve and Allie. Last week, the pair made a monumental blunder by forgetting their backpacks during a challenge. Far too involved in the race to backtrack and retrieve the forgotten goods, Steve and Allie opted instead to venture on without them, choosing to complete the race with nothing more than their passports and the clothes off their back.
Teams were instructed to fly from the African island nation of Seychelles all the way across the Indian Ocean to the city of Penang, Malaysia. Once there, teams needed to seek out Snake Temple. The Buddhist temple was constructed in 1850, and the name is quite appropriate. Inside, hundreds of snakes live inside uninhibited. Sadly, no team had the foresight to make an Indiana Jones joke.

When Steve and Allie check into first to the Pit Stop for the seventh leg of The Amazing Race, Phil asks them if they noticed that the theme of the leg has been the number seven. What he really should have asked them is if they’ve noticed the theme was carelessness.
We normally hear the foreboding clash sound that CBS likes to use to indicate when a team has made an error once, maybe twice, an episode. This week? A whopping five of the biggest and most preventable blunders in The Amazing Race history!
(I certainly have to qualify my claim with preventable because there have been plenty of worse blunders on the race that topped what the Detour-botching racers did this week. But, in terms of being preventable? I’m not sure the Ox Trot mistakes can be topped).
At this point, when CBS emphasizes that, for the Ox Trot challenge,...

My brother loves geography. He is currently at college studying for a career in geospatial technology. When his classmates were learning the basic fundamentals of subtraction, he memorized all fifty Us states and their capitals. In fifth grade, he competed in a statewide geography bee. He can currently name all 195 nations of the world and can nearly name all their capitals and largest cities. As such, when he hears of some small, obscure nation like Seychelles, his synapses connect and form a reaction similar to how you and I would react to Mexico.
Seychelles, a tropical island nation off the eastern coast of Africa, was indeed the location of this week’s episode of The Amazing Race. Six teams remain, and only one, dating couple Carol & Brandy, could correctly pronounce the country’s name correctly (Father/daughter team Steve & Allie came close, but stumbled between the first and second syllable...

The fifth leg of The Amazing Race started with a small wrinkle. Instead of a traditional 12-hour pit stop in the place they ended the previous leg, the teams were put on a bus for a traveling pit stop. The bus’s destination? No one knew. Well, we, the viewers, knew - Les Monthairons, France - but the teams racing did not.
Initially this seems like a really cool comment and gets some fun mat quotes such as we took a bus from “Hamburg to…here. Wherever here is” from Jet and Cord, but ultimately doesn’t really add much to the leg. I feel like they really could do more with this concept to give the leg a unique feel to it, but dropping them off in France is hardly that challenging. At least not as challenging as it could be.

Welcome Back Race Fans!! Time for another recap of this week's episode of The Amazing Race!! If you recall last week, The Cops, Louie & Michael, hit the mat in first place, and Jeff & Jordan came in last but were saved by a non-elimination leg. This week they will have to perform an extra task, the Speed Bump, and there's a U-Turn this week that could potentially put them even further behind. Take a deep breath Jj fans, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!!
After completing the last leg in Hamburg, Germany, all teams boarded a bus at the beginning of this leg to an unknown destination. I must say that Jeff has a very positive attitude and both Jeff & Jordon are determined not to be eliminated tonight. Joe from the Married Team has his leg on ice during the bus ride, which, for you Survivor fans, made me wonder, “Who...

Welcome Back Racers! Time for another recap of The Amazing Race! Last week we left our racers in Argentina and saw the Cowboys continue to pull ahead of the other racers for their second consecutive win, and Monique and Shawne found themselves in last place at the mat and were eliminated. Well, hold on to your cowboy hats because we're in for a bumpy ride this week!!
In this leg, teams travel from Argentina to Hamburg, Germany! Finally, we're out of South America! The Cowboys (Jet & Cord) kick off the leg and the Cops (Louie & Michael) are tired of coming in at the bottom of the pack. The Princesses (Carol & Brandy) realize they had a lot of problems communicating in the last leg, so this time around they're going to try to be more respectful to each other – we'll see how long that lasts. Brother Dan confesses he hates to...

Last night on The Amazing Race, the cowboys, Jet and Cord, took the lead again to become the first ones to arrive at the pit stop for the second week in a row. Brent and Caite started the leg in the hospital but managed to arrive seventh at the pit stop. Clips and other highlights from last night's episode after the jump:
Detour--teams had to choose between Horse Sense and Horse Power. In Horse Sense, teams visited a gunslinger who gave them a set of directional coordinates. Then, using an old-time compass for reference, teams had to follow the coordinates by counting out the specific number of steps given, to find a bag of stolen money buried in the ground. Then they had to deliver the money to the lead bandit at the train station. If the coordinates on the bag matched those on their sheet, the lead band would give them their next clue.

Last week, Jet and Cord looked unbeatable.
This week? Let's just say our opinion hasn't changed much.
The entire leg seemed tailor-made for the cowboys, something Carol and Brandi complained about at the roadblock. While it certainly isn't 100% fair, neither is life, Brandi. Jet and Cord appropriately pointed out that they are not complaining (you get the sense these two have complained about something maybe once in their life) about how unfair it is that Carol and Brandi speak Spanish, but they do not.
Considering that the while race has been in Spanish-speaking countries so far, that’s a far bigger advantage than Jet and Cord running into a steer roping challenge on one leg. Imagine, however, if the detour involved riding real horses instead of the practice one. Jet and Cord might have been a half of a day ahead of the other teams.

Welcome back Race Fans! Tonight we start where we left off, in Puerto Varas, Chile. Last week the Grandmother/Grandmother team of Jody & Shannon were eliminated, and the Cowboys, Jet & Cord won the leg, and started in first place tonight. Once again, they begin exactly 12 hours after they finished the last leg, so our Racers have been going for 3 days straight! I imagine exhaustion and stress will be taking it's toll. So let's see how they do:
We start out with some beautiful scenic shots of Puerto Varas' snow capped mountains, grassy parks, and antique statues and monuments. It really makes you want to visit this part of the world, and reminds you of the tragic Earthquake that rocked the country this past week. The teams start off taking one of two buses on a six hour trek through the Andes Mountains and cross the border into Argentina. Then they...

The momentum of Jet and Cord continued on The Amazing Race this week, as they made one correct move after another and rocketed into first place.
What the cowboys truly have going for them right now is a calm demeanor. Even while in last place during the premiere, they never seemed to panic or lose perspective on what was in front of them. By remaining serene, Jet and Cord nailed the painting challenge in the premiere and then masterfully handled bus situation from Santiago to Puerto Varas.
Their outmaneuvering of the other nine teams put them well ahead going in the two challenges and they finished the leg mistake free for a victory.
I felt they were the favorites going into the season, but quickly lamented my selection at the start of the race. Now? They look unbeatable.
Their Lone Ranger approach to the game with a singular attitude – only...

Last night's Amazing Race across Chile saw all kinds of smarts and adorableness from Team Cowboy, all kinds of word vomit from Team Big Brother and Team Dating Models, and the defeat of the encouraging, but inept Team Nana.
Also gay Jordan danced in a pen of llamas and the lesbian couple, Carol and Brandy, went over to the dark side. We also realized that if we ever get on The Amazing Race, we're going with Grandma Adama from Caprica because that broad is hard core.
Here's everything else that happened last night:

Helloooo Race fans! Last week our teams traveled to Chile, and this week continue to travel the Chilean countryside, and it is truly a beautiful place to be – even if today's race is a little overcast and rainy.
We start off where left our racers last week, at Valparaiso, Chile, with Jeff and Jordan (Team Jj) in the lead. Teams are allowed to begin this leg of the race exactly 12 hours after they finished the last leg. Team Jj finished at 3:21 pm, so they begin at 3:21 am. and travel back to Santiago, Chile where they then board another bus for a 500+ mile trip to Puerto Varas. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong!
Team Jj gets to the bus station first, but it is not open yet and we get some amusing footage of Jeff trying to communicate with the Spanish speaking locals using what I can only describe as Spanish sign language,...

Although Nana Jodi was incredibly calm throughout this leg of the race in Chile, she and grand daughter, Shannon, were the last to arrive at this week's pit stop on The Amazing Race. Jodi says she feels if Shannon had done the roadblock, they might still be in the race, but Shannon feels her Nana should stop beating herself up so much--she's proud of her. They arrive at 'elimination station' in the clip below and talk about the race:
As for the other teams from last night's episode, here are the highlights:
Cowboys, Jet and Cord, rode to become the leaders of the pack and won this leg of the race. (prize was sailboats)
Carol and Brandy formed an alliance with married couple, Joe and Heidi. Probably not Joe and Heidi's best move as Carol and Brandy don't seem to be able to do anything on their own at...

Nestled deep in the Andes Mountains is the coastal nation of Chile; the location of this week’s episode of The Amazing Race. Departing from the beautiful city of Valparaiso, frontrunners Jordan and Jeff led the pack. Upon departure, The Big Brother alumni were given a lengthy set of instructions. First, they were directed to the Valparaiso bus station, where they would ride to the Chilean capital of Santiago. Once there, they must take another bus south to Puerto Varas, a trip well over 575 miles. In Puerto Varas, teams had to drive themselves to Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, take a boat trip to Isla Margarita, then hike uphill to Mirador, an outlook over Todos los Santos Lake. Mind you, this cumbersome journey was simply the directions to the first challenge.
While CBS normally reserves a block of seats on flights, trains and buses, such was not the case tonight.

The Amazing Race returned for its 16th season on Sunday night with three gay contestants: Carol and Brandy, a lesbian couple, and Jordan, who is competing with his straight brother. We're recapping it a little differently this year. Let us know what you think!
Jordan and Daniel came in seventh after incurring a fifteen minute penalty for losing a paint brush. Hopefully, they'll move up the rankings next week!
And then there are some captions you just can't improve...
