Thursday, August 25, 2005As the summer sun begins to fade and new memorable moments from the summer become etched in our memories, we must soon bid adieu to the summer. Canucks savour your final two weeks of bliss and Yankees best of luck as you step away from summer slumber, socializing and living life a la Dolce Vita! The conclusion of summer does bring sadness though my tears aren't as thick with my entrance into the outdoor hands on leadership program Bronte Creek Project upcoming which should be a unique and exciting , nevertheless the final curtain call of this heavenly part of the year is not a happy one that's for sure. As we spring into September and get back at it, there are several memorable events to look forward to. These include the season premieres of those TV shows that make us laugh and cry. Television over the past few years has been rolling down the hill and there sure is a lot of stuff that deserves to go out with the trash but the old standbys are still coming back. For those of you like me who seat on the edge of your seat and love seeing 11 teams race around the world to 12 countries seeking the 1 million dollar cheque will be elated. The details of The Amazing Race 8 and 9 are beginning to emerge. This time round Phil Keoghan and his teams are doing things a little differently with families of four making up the 11 teams who will jet across the world. The basics otherwise seem to remain the same from past seasons though the application page on the main site of CBS I read a while back stated that kids as young as 12 could apply. To see the youngsters eating foreign food, physical tasks, dealing with the lack of sleep and the rules of the race should prove to be interesting. CBS has uploaded the profiles of the teams so you can start deciding who you think will be your favourites and a synopsis on the new format of the show. Here's the link: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race8/ The Amazing Race 8: Family Edition has its two hour season premiere on Tuesday September 27th at 9pm. For those of you who are Race fans or maybe are going to give it a shot this season a great resource despite its strange name is http://www.theamazingracesucks.com/ which has all the latest news, insiders information, takes you behind the scenes and profiles each show at the season progresses. Here's a recent news article with an overview of the new format here: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=3667 It has also been officially anounced that The Amazing Race 9 which will go back to the traditional format will begin shooting in November and have its season premiere in early 2006, some sources are saying the beggining of February. CSI fans can begin to solve crime cases along with the the teams. The original and my personal favourite CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Las Vegas) has the premiere of its 6th season on September 22nd at 9pm. The 4th season of CSI: Miami is on September 19th and the 2nd season of CSI: New York is on September 21st, both at 10pm.Mark your calandars! Teague Neal blogged on 2:56 PM
