Anyone know when we will get series eight?I love this show so much i'm starting to get withdrawals.Someone put me out of my misery.

Hi,

The Amazing Race 8 premieres in the USA September 27.

The only thing Amazing on Seven for the time being with be The Mole - The Amazing Game. You should see series 8 of The Amazing Race nearer the end of The Mole, maybe sooner if theres a spare vacancy.

Bugger - I like it too! There are so few programs I like on TV anymore ....

Cheers

Yup, another Amazing Race fan here too.

I was reading on another board that TAR8 won't be screened here until early February (approx 5 months after starting in the US and 2 months after the winning team is known).  However, the person posting that info didn't give their source.

SevenSpy, your post is a lot more heartening than that news.  is there anything else you can add?

Yours hopefully...  

this new family amazing race should be good. but im not decided on whether it will be better than the normal format but i spose it will create more conflict as .. well you know .. families fight - i know ive had a few good fights with my little bros over the years ...

Channel 7 recently announced that they won't be showing Amazing Race Season 8 this year because they felt that showing two seasons already this year was enough, which is total rubbish of course - you can never have enough Amazing Race.
Now just wait for some twit to look up the Race's progress on the web and spoil it for everybody

You can never have enough Amazing Race. Bring it on, seven.

Typical seven they have to be a party pooper,I could watch it seven days a week.I guess i will have to enjoy series three on fox 8 and keep watching my previous series i have taped.I hope we get it next year.Does anyone know of the Australian release date for series one dvd set?I know it's released in the states at the end of September but i don't know how far behind our release date is?

Wasn't sure where to put this ,i figured this was as good a place as any.I just received my austar book and found out that they are showing series four on fox eight on the 16th of Oct at nine pm.I'm rapt that is the only series i'm missing.If i have put this in the wrong spot apologies in advance.

You are all so right. I'll be able to get series 8 on DVD before it screens here.

The only shows I watch at the moment are the CSI's, and the quirkiest show on TV, Mythbusters. What a great concept. Roll on series 5 (the final season!) of Queer As Folk. Never thought as a straight guy I'd be watching a show like that. Now I'm addicted.

You can never have enough Amazing Race.

I can.  

I enjoyed parts of the first series but the following series were bascially the same but in a different location and same personalities but different faces ...much the same as survivor.  The first are usually interesting but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th etc are all too predictible and boring.

I would say we are almost certain to not get season 8 at all because of The Mole.
Remember back to that nightmare "Survivor" Aussie style, Network Nine produced? (still seeing therapist over that one *shudder*)

Channel 7 are hoping to make we fans of TAR shift our loyalties to The Mole.  

It's not going to work i'm very loyal to the race,and the mole isn't the same without grant.Maybe they could show eight in the non ratings period,at least we would still get to see it.

No, The Mole just isn't the same without Grant, is it. Ah well.

And I quite enjoyed Australian Survivor.  It lacked the production values of the US series, but the way the game itself was played was good, and ferocious at times.
