TPIR MDS
« on: October 20, 2005, 11:50:26 AM »
Several months ago, it was reported that CBS decided not to air a TPIR Million Dollar Spectacular. Then it was reported that it would air on Labor Day weekend.

    Labor Day came and went, and no MDS.

   So when is this going to see the light of day?

I don't remember a confirmation that the Million Dollar Spectacular would air Labor Day weekend, though there was some speculation to that effect.

The web site still indicates that it will air in September, which obviously didn't happen.  I don't know when it will air now.

Apparently, there's been speculation at the show that CBS might use it to fill a hole in the schedule once something gets cancelled.  That's pretty much all there is to go on right now, and even that is just a guess.

Odd, because the other MDSs did very well in the ratings. Has there been a decline with the most recent ones?

Didn't most of the specials air during the 8-9 hour? CBS is having success on most of their nights.

Sun--Cold Case
Mon--King of Queens/How I Met Your Mother
Tue--NCIS
Wed--OK, they could prolly replace Still Standing/Yes, Dear for one nite
Thu--Survivor
Fri--Ghost Whisperer? How's that doing?
Sat--??? - could work here

"Ghost Whisperer"'s renewed for a full season.  It's done better than everyone expected.

And as of late most of the "MDS"s have been running on Saturday nights, which is not exactly the most important night of network television.  I would assume that right now repeating their shows on Saturday nights to get some additional sampling is more important than an unaired "TPIR" to CBS.  They'll probably unload it in December or January.

Is it possible that this MDS was a dud just like the first college MDS, which was also delayed?

Or it might have its first million dollar win, leading to CBS trying to find a best time to show it.

If it did, someone would have leaked it by now, I'm sure.

If anyone has seen that episode live at CBS Television City, including page Scott, good job for not spoiling it.  PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY!  :)

I hate media spoilers.  Thanks.

The placement/airing of the show has nothing to do whether someone wins/doesn't win the $1 Million.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Another possible reason why this got delayed even further: It may have featured a trip to New Orleans as one of the prizes offered, which also caused two daytime episodes this season to get delayed.

Hmmm. If someone did win the $1,000,000 and CBS never shows it, they won't have to pay off the winner.

Actually, the delay started before Katrina -- even before the storm hit, it was not on the Labor Day schedule (which is generally drawn up in advance).
