"Survivor Thailand Opening Night "

Posted by Rain Crow on 07-16-02 at 03:40 PM
Just visited Snewsers website and found this information. Time to mark your calendars and get a tuneup on your VCRs! Note also the opening episode of TAR3.


LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Premiere week will live up to its title on CBS this fall.

The network will roll out all of its new series -- and nearly all of its returnees -- the week of Sept. 23, the official start of the 2002-03 TV season. A notable exception is "Survivor: Thailand," which will debut on Thursday, Sept. 19, giving the show a week to hook viewers before its main competitor, NBC's "Friends," has its season premiere.

The next installment of "The Amazing Race" will premiere Wednesday, Oct. 2, a week into the season.

CBS president and CEO Les Moonves made the announcement Monday (July 15) at the TV Critics Association press tour in Pasadena.

The Eye put most of its efforts into getting stronger shows on at 10 p.m. this season. Four of five weeknights -- all but Tuesday -- will have a new 10 p.m. series, and Moonves calls the new slate "the strongest group of 10 p.m. dramas we've had in years."

"It will obviously help the network, it will help our local news broadcasts and it will help David Letterman," Moonves says. Letterman has been vocal in the past about getting stronger lead-ins for his "Late Show."

Moonves also announced that Ving Rhames ("Mission: Impossible 2," "Sins of the Father" ) will play a recurring role as the U.S. attorney general on "The District" this season.

The premiere schedule for CBS is as follows (all times Eastern/Pacific):

YYYYes! This is sweet.....didn't think we'd see Survivor until October! The Amazing Race will proboably end about the same time, since there are fewer episodes. Big Brother will proboably lead directly into Survivor, which will work out great. This also means that unless changed, Survivor will have a show on Halloween Night! Maybe they can use Halloween as the night for the recrap episode to help stretch their best show out even longer.

Thanks, Rain Crow! This is real helpful and gives me something to look forward as several of my favourite shows are also on CBS besides Survivor and CSI. Will bookmark this page so I can refer to it from time to time when my eyes get dizzy from all the heat outside and the constant repeats now on TV.
