Two weeks have passed on “Love Island” and plenty of singles have coupled and uncoupled in their bid for love and a fat $100,000 pay check. However, there’s one couple that doesn’t seem to be hitting it off: CBS and “Love Island.”

Ratings for the show have been far from paradisiacal, and with the network gambling heavily on the series by programming it five nights a week, there’s a risk that “Love Island” could soon find itself dumped and that CBS will sail away from yet another failed nonfiction franchise launch.

The numbers for “Love Island” have been unerringly stable, which would be a good thing if they weren’t stagnating at an average of 0.51 in the key 18-49 demographic across nine episodes. Viewership has been just as poor, with roughly 2.3 million tuning in to each episode, far fewer than the network would likely have been hoping for.

Million Dollar Mile will at least reach the finish line. CBS just announced they will air the rest of the likely cancelled TV show beginning July 6th. The series was pulled from the weekday schedule after two low-rated episodes had aired and moved to Saturday nights. After two more episodes had aired, the series was pulled off the Saturday schedule. While CBS hasn't said that the show is cancelled, it's hard to imagine that it will be back next season.

Hosted by Tim Tebow, the obstacle course competition show follows contestants as they make their way through the “Million Dollar Mile” and their biggest obstacle, an international team of top-ranked athletes which has but one mission — to stop the contestants from finishing the race and winning the prize.

There’s a few steps left in Million Dollar Mile. CBS has announced the remainder of the show will air starting tomorrow, July 6 at 8 Pm Et/Pt.

The series was earlier pulled from the weekday schedule after two episodes and dumped into Saturday night, but then pulled from that slot after two more episodes aired. Now, it will have a short reprieve before it likely heads gently into that good night of cancellation.

The obstacle course show is hosted by Tim Tebow, now a New York Mets minor league outfielder. It follows contestants along the course, dubbed the “Million Dollar Mile,” as they battle top athletes who are trying to stop them from finishing the race. Also on board are Matt “Money” Smith and Maria Taylor as play-by-play commentators.

“The Amazing Race 31” may have just ended, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Season 32. And the good news is that it already exists! Here’s everything we know so far about the next trek around the world.

1. It’s already been filmed

Season 32 was filmed in fall 2018 and Phil Keoghan told us earlier this month (watch above) the season is currently in post-production.

2. It will premiere midseason

As previously announced in May, Season 32 will be a midseason replacement for the fourth year in a row. If you don’t know TV industry lingo, that means it won’t debut before January unless a ton of CBS’ new shows bomb and the network needs a replacement Asap. You’ll recall Season 31 was originally scheduled to premiere May 22, but it moved up to April 17 to replace the low-rated “Million Dollar Mile.”

With nearly 500 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable, streaming and whatever “Wow Presents Plus” is, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the Vcr… however it is you roll.

This week, you’ll find 11 premieres (including Stranger Things Season 3), four finales (including The Haves and the Have Nots) and Fourth of July-themed programming.

“The Amazing Race 31” finale is this week, but you’ll have an extra hour to prepare for the two-hour closer. As previously reported, the finale will move back an hour on Wednesday, June 26 and start at its former time of 9/8c.

The shift is to make room for the two-night “Big Brother 21” premiere, which kicks off on Tuesday. Both one-hour episodes of “Big Brother” will air at 8/7c. (“Big Brother’s” own switch to Tuesdays for the premiere is likely to accommodate “Race” as well.) Since this season is a reality showdown between “Race,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother” teams, it’s really only fitting that “Race” ends following “Big Brother” after starting the season following “Survivor.”

For its 31st trek, “The Amazing Race” fulfilled the request of many fans who’d been clamoring for years for a showdown between alums of CBS’ holy trinity of reality shows, “Race,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother.” But Phil Keoghan admits he wasn’t always on board with the idea. “I was a little skeptical about it, to be honest with you, in the beginning because I’ve always had a preference for ‘Races’ that have people that have never been on the show before,” the host tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview (watch above). “And we do have a big portion of our fans who prefer that approach with ‘Race.’ They like racers who have never been on the show. But you’re never going to make everybody happy. You’re never going to get a total consensus.”

Now, a year after they filmed Season 31 and with it still airing,...

“The Amazing Race 31” started with a scheduling change, so it’s only fitting that it ends with another one. The season will conclude with a two-hour episode in a new — but old — time slot. Episodes 11 and 12 will air Wednesday, June 26 starting at its former time of 9/8c, according to CBS.

The two-hour closer is hardly surprising — the show has done two-hour finales before, including last season — but the shift back an hour might be. “Race” aired its first four episodes this season at 9/8c before taking over “Survivor’s” vacated 8 o’clock hour on May 22 with a double episode.

The 2018-19 television season is in the books, and as usual, some shows performed better than others. Like, better than all of these. This time around, there was actually a tie for broadcast’s lowest-rated entertainment series among adults 18-49, which is the demographic most-beloved by advertisers: CBS Saturday drama “Ransom” (which is still awaiting a renewal/cancellation decision) and ABC’s “Alec Baldwin Show”. See how the 21 lowest-rated broadcast TV shows rank by their “most current” Nielsen ratings below. For the purposes of this story, we elected not to count shows on The CW and news magazines like “20/20,” “48 Hours” and “Dateline,” which would have gobbled up several slots. Highest-rated is first, lowest-rated last — and yes, there are ties.

“The Amazing Race” was off the air last week for the “Survivor: Edge of Extinction” finale, but your patience will be rewarded this week. As previously reported, “Race” returns Wednesday, May 22 with two episodes — and in a new time slot.

With “Survivor” done for the season, “Race” will now move up an hour to Wednesdays at 8/7c, where it will air for the rest of the season. “Race” fanatics will recall that May 22 was the original scheduled premiere date for Season 31, but CBS moved it up to April 17 after new series “Million Dollar Mile” was a bust.

Time for another long break, “Race” fans. Season 32 of “The Amazing Race” will debut midseason next year, CBS announced Wednesday.

This isn’t really surprising as “Race” has been a midseason replacement since the 29th season in 2017, being reduced to one season a year. A time slot and premiere date will be announced at a later time.

The good news for fans is that Season 32 has already been filmed, having shot last fall, so it’s basically ready to go if any of CBS’ new fall shows don’t work out. “Race” has been called up to bat to pinch hit before (sorry for all the baseball metaphors): Season 29 replaced the low-rated “Training Day” in the Thursdays-at-10 slot — definitely a weird hour for a family-friendly show like “Race” — and the current 31st season was originally slotted to debut Wednesday, May 22, nearly a year after it filmed, but it moved up to Wednesday,...

NBC’s broadcast of the Billboard Music Awards hit a franchise low in the 18-49 age bracket Wednesday night, while easily besting all primetime competitors with the network’s top-rated in-season Wednesday in the demo – excluding Olympics – since December 2016.

The trophy show inched up 83,000 in total viewers year over year despite moving from Sunday to Wednesday. A year ago, Billboard Music Awards aired live coast-to-coast, getting to add in unduplicated viewers from an encore airings in the Western U.S. Last night’ telecast did not air live in the West, and so did not enjoy previous year’s ratings perk.

Elsewhere in primetime, CBS’ Survivor was down a tenth (versus last week’s 1.5) but not at a low. The Amazing Race continued to slow after starting April 17 as a rushed-in sub for Million Dollar Mile.

“The Amazing Race” has a new start time again. Season 31 will move up an hour to the Wednesdays-at-8 slot starting on May 22, which will also feature a double episode that night, CBS announced.

The 10-time Emmy champ will take over the slot vacated by “Survivor,” which concludes Season 38 the week before on May 15 with its usual supersized finale leading into the reunion special. “Race” will not air on May 15. The episodes on May 22 will be the fifth and sixth installments of the season.

“Race” fans will recall that May 22 was the original premiere date for Season 31, which was filmed last summer. In early April, CBS moved the premiere up to April 17 at 9/8c to replace the low-rated “Million Dollar Mile,” leading out of “Survivor,” which is apt since this season is a reality showdown between former racers, “Survivor” stars and “Big Brother” stars.

Sunday, April...

CBS’ Survivor: Edge of Extinction continued to grow, topping Wednesday in all metrics and hitting a season high in total viewers.

The network’s Season 31 launch of The Amazing Race took 9 Pm across the board, climbing 50% versus Million Dollar Mile’s performance in the slot over its two telecasts before being yanked. Race was, however, down 33% in the demo from its prior premiere on January 3, 2018.

This was the show’s latest premiere in the TV season in 15 years – the most recent “later season start” was in March 2017, when the premiere reached 4.3 million viewers and scored a 0.9 in adults 18-49.

CBS’ Seal Team took 10 Pm last night.

For the third time in four weeks, Fox’s Empire matched its series low in demo. Same night one year ago, the series had enjoyed a 1.8 rating in the 18-49 metric.

With ABC...

The CW’s new drama “In the Dark” slipped 13% in viewers with its second episode on Thursday, after an already poor debut last week.

The hour was comparable with the Perry Mattfeld-led show’s week-ago series premiere in the key adults 18-49 demographic, settling for a 0.2 rating, but fell from an already low 894,000 total viewers down to 776,000 overall sets of eyeballs.

Over on CBS, the “Fam” Season 1 finale held steady with the rest of the freshman comedy’s first batch of episodes, ticking up a bit from the previous week both in total viewers (up to 4.9 million from 4.8 million) and the 18-49 range (rising to a 0.8 from a 0.7).

CBS’ Survivor: Edge of Extinction topped Wednesday night in the demo and total viewers.

With Million Dollar Mile exiled to Saturdays, CBS plugged Wednesday’s 9 Pm hole with an NCIS repeat, resulting in a two-tenth drop in the demo – but 29% gain in total viewers. Despite that diminished demo lead-in, Seal Team maintained its demo rating for a third straight week at 10 Pm, though it’s at a series low.

Fox’s Empire marked a new series low in total viewers and slipped a tenth week to week in the demo, to tie the series’ low set two weeks ago after managing a mini-rally to a 1.2 rating the previous week. After Empire, Fox’s Star also matched its series low in the demo.

A wedding episode of Modern Family came in behind only Survivor in both metrics for the night,...

Modern Family this Wednesday drew 4.8 million total viewers (up 12 percent to match its second-largest audience of 2019) and a 1.2 demo rating (up one tenth) as parents-to-be Haley and Dylan attempted eloping.

Elsewhere on ABC, Schooled (3.8 mil/0.9) and Single Parents (3.2 mil/0.8) also ticked up, while The Goldbergs (4.6 mil/1.1) and Whiskey Cavalier (3.1 mil/0.6) were steady.

CBS | Survivor (7.6 mil1.5) held steady to dominate the night in both measures, with #OneChicago in rerun mode, and enjoyed one of its biggest viewership margins ever over Empire. Leading out of an NCIS rerun (4.2 mil/0.6 vs. Saturday-bound Million Dollar Mile’s most recent 3.3 mil/0.8), Seal Team (4.5 mil/0.6) hit...

After just two episodes, CBS banished “Million Dollar Mile” to Saturdays. Repercussions of that move were felt on Wednesday, when the network was dragged down by an “NCIS” rerun in the time slot.

Fox finished first in the key 18-49 demographic last night, despite a low “Empire.” CBS and ABC settled for a second-place tie there. NBC aired all “Chicago” show repeats.

CBS finished first in total viewers, and “Survivor” was primetime’s top show outright.

Virginia and CBS were the big winners on Monday, though the Ncaa National Championship ratings declined double digits from the last time it aired on broadcast television. Specifically, the falloff from 2017 was 13%.

The 2018 National Championship was on the Turner cable channels. That one was not only lower rated than this one, its 10.3 overnight rating marked marked a record low.

Season 31 of The Amazing Race will leave the starting line more than a month earlier than scheduled. CBS said today that the new iteration will premiere at 9 Pm Wednesday, April 17; it had been set for May 22. With that move, the network has banished LeBron James’ Million Dollar Mile from its Wednesday timeslot to Saturdays after just two episodes. CBS will air a repeat of NCIS in Million Dollar Mile’s timeslot next week.

Million Dollar Mile will air the remaining eight episodes of its 10-episode season on Saturdays beginning May 4, at 8 Pm with Ransom moving back an hour to 9 Pm.

The move comes after Million Dollar Mile premiered to soft ratings. It opened with a 1.0/4 rating and 4.1 million viewers in its debut episode, declining to 0.8/4 and 3.4 million viewers in week 2.

After only two episodes in its Wednesday time slot, CBS is pushing LeBron James’ “Million Dollar Mile” to Saturdays.

The move comes after the show has posted lacklustre ratings so far, with a soft 1.0 rating debut in the key 18-49 demographic and 4.1 million viewers, which then dipped to a 0.8 rating and 3.4 million viewers for the second episode. Beginning May 4, it will air the rest of its season on Saturdays at 8 p.m.

The show, hosted by Tim Tebow, involves contestants running the titular race in order to earn $1 million. Between the runners and their cash prize is a group of elite athletes bent on stopping the contestants.

“The Amazing Race” has a new start date. Season 31 will bow Wednesday, April 17 at 9/8c, a month earlier than its originally announced May 22 date, CBS announced Friday.

Leading out of “Survivor,” “The Amazing Race” is replacing the low-rated “Million Dollar Mile,” which is now moving to Saturdays at 8/7c, effective May 4.

As “Race” die-hards already know, Season 31, which filmed last summer, is a “reality showdown,” featuring alums from “Race,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother” competing for the $1 million prize. And yes, there are some legends of each game (Colin! Rupert! Janelle! Rachel!). (See the cast list below and check out the gallery above.) The season will cover more than 25,000 miles around the world.

CBS is trading a million-dollar mile for a race around the world.

The network announced on Friday that the 31st running of the Emmy-winning The Amazing Race will step off the starting line more than a month sooner than originally planned — on Wednesday, April 17 at 9/8c, where it will air after Survivor and give the deserving Seal Team something resembling a proper lead-in.

This season, 11 teams comprised of past Amazing Racers, onetime Survivor castaways and former Big Brother Houseguests — Rupert among them! — will compete on the 25,000-plus mile journey around the world to be crowned winners of the $1 million prize.

The Amazing Race is getting a dose of reality for season 31. CBS revealed contestants from Big Brother, Survivor and past Amazing Race seasons will compete in the new season. Premiering Wednesday, April 17 at 9 p.m., fan-favorite Racers, castaways and house guests will compete for a cash price and bragging rights among reality TV stars. CBS previously announced a Wednesday, May 22 date. However, effective Saturday, May 4 Million Dollar Mile moves to Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Ransom moves to 9 p.m. on Saturdays. An NCIS rerun will air Wednesday, April 10 at 9 p.m. Meet the new Amazing Race contestants below. The Amazing Race returns Wednesday, April 17 at 9p.m. on CBS.

CBS has moved up the premiere for its next season of “The Amazing Race” by more than a month and, in the process, kicked LeBron James’ “Million Dollar Mile” to Saturdays.

CBS barely bested ABC in primetime demo ratings Thursday, when NBC was pretty much a non-factor despite airing its “Will & Grace” wedding.

In terms of total viewers, CBS experienced a much more comfortable victory last night. College hoops are great, but “The Big Bang Theory” is no slouch itself.

The Jack/Estefan wedding on Thursday marks the lowest-rated “Will & Grace” season finale ever. It aired between poor-performing NBC sitcoms “A.P. Bio” and “Abby’s.”

With a somewhat better “Empire” performance than last week, Fox caught up with NBC’s “Chicago” lineup on Wednesday in ratings among adults 18-49.

On CBS, new show “Million Dollar Mile” declined from last week’s debut, effectively keeping that network out of the Nielsen running.

NBC and Fox tied for first in ratings, both with a 1.1 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic. NBC was first in total viewers with an average of 7.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. Fox was third with 3.8 million total viewers.

For Fox, “Empire” at 8 landed a 1.2/6 and 4.1 million viewers. At 9, “Star” closed Fox’s two-hour primetime day part with a 1.0/5 and 3.5 million viewers.

Survivor cruised to a ratings win among adults 18-49, earning its fourth straight Wednesday victory in the key ad demographic.

The CBS competition was down slightly week to week with a 1.5 rating in the demo, but it still finished 25 percent ahead of the No. 2 show, Fox's Empire (1.2). Its 7.31 million viewers were the third most in primetime, behind NBC's Chicago Fire (8.1 million) and Chicago Med (7.85 million).

The premise of my question was refuted — Seal Team at the time did rank No. 3 in the demo among all CBS dramas, though it was ninth in the network’s famously and frequently touted measure of total viewership. But to this day, more than midway through Season 2, I maintain that this show should be doing better. And I remain puzzled as to why it isn’t.

The Los Angeles Lakers did not make the NBA playoffs this season, which means the team’s newest and biggest star, LeBron James, will have to watch the action from home for the first time in about 15 years. Or, actually, he can skip over the games and point his remote in favor of his own network show.

James and his production company, Springhill Entertainment, just debuted Million Dollar Mile on CBS on March 27 — a partnership with Big Brother producer Fly on the Wall Entertainment and Warner Horizon Unscripted & Alternative Television. It's an obstacle-course reality show that ...

While the list of premiere dates for new and returning shows that will hit Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC and The CW during the warmer months is still pretty short, we wanted to prep you for what’s to come once staples like “This Is Us,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Empire” and all the “Arrow”-verse series wrap for the season — and shows like “The Big Bang Theory” wrap forever.

When it comes to TV, winter is typically no fall — but a few of these series premieres could have made the cut for an earlier start, ratings-wise.

The fifth and final season of the CW’s Jane the Virgin, which resolved the big Michael finale cliffhanger, premiered Wednesday to solid numbers on a mixed night that also saw the debut of CBS’ competition series Million Dollar Mile and the return of NBC’s Chicago dramas which helped the network win the night in the demo and total viewers. Most other shows ticked down, though not CBS’ Survivor, which rebounded two tenths from a week ago finish as primetime’s top-rated offering.

Jane, for which the CW is working on a spinoff, bowed even with its Season 4 debut in October 2017 and gained a tenth from last season’s finale as it moved for its swan song from Friday to Wednesday. Leading into it on Wednesday, Riverdale at 8 Pm was even with a week ago.
