CBS today announced mid-season schedule changes that include the return of the drama FLASHPOINT, the premiere of the mystery event HARPER'S ISLAND, the debut of the new game show GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD and the returns of the Network's reality hits SURVIVOR and THE AMAZING RACE.
FLASHPOINT, last summer's top original scripted series, premieres Friday, Jan. 9 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).
FLASHPOINT, starring Enrico Colantoni, Hu gh Dillon, Amy Jo Johnson, David Paetkau, Michael Cram, Sergio Di Zio, Ruth Marshall and Mark Taylor, depicts the emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the Strategic Response Unit (inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force).
FLASHPOINT is produced by Pink Sky Entertainment in association with CBS Paramount Network Television. Bill Mustos and Anne Marie La Traverse are executive producers.
HARPER'S ISLAND, a 13-episode mystery event, premieres Thursday, April 9 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) and concludes Thursday, July 2 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). HARPER'S ISLAND is about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island for a destination wedding. They've come to laugh... to love... and, though they don't know it... to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival. In every episode, someone is killed and every person is a suspect, from the wedding party to the island locals. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive.
Jon Turteltaub ("Jericho") and Jeffrey Bell ("Alias," "Angel," "The X-Files") are executive producers for CBS Paramount Network Television in association with Junction Entertainment. Karim Zreik ("Jericho"), Dan Shotz ("Jericho") and Tyler Bensinger ("Cold Case") are co-executive producers and Ari Schlossberg ("Hide and Seek") is co-executive producer and creator.
GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD, a hidden camera game show from Ashton Kutcher, premieres Saturday, Jan. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). Ordinary people must perform extraordinary tasks on an unsuspecting public to win up to $50,000. Under the watchful eye of host Joe Rogan, each contestant performs five outrageous, embarrassing and hilarious tasks worth $5,000 each. In a no-holds-barred bonus round, each contestant has the chance to double their money up to $50,000.
GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD is from fox21, produced by Hat Trick Productions and Katalyst Films. Executive producers are Jimmy Mulville & Leon Wilde and Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke and Michael Binkow.
The 18th edition of SURVIVOR premieres Thursday, Feb. 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) while THE AMAZING RACE returns with its 14th edition on Sunday, Feb. 15 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

I love this time of the yr for survivor. You don't have to wait too long between Gabon's finale and the start of Brazil.

The question is whether it will it continue the chain of good seasons that started with China or not.

idk maybe it's because i finally applied so im back to being fully survivor obsessed, but i find gabon to be much better than china and micronesia.
especially because the underdogs are taking this shit to the end and we don't have the same person winning individual immunity on every episode.

Gabon doesn't even come close to China or Micronesia.
To get back on topic, I'm glad that Survivor and TAR are premiering within a week together again. |

I don't know if it's as good as Micronesia, but I am more excited while watching Gabon because everyone who is left are people I picked to go pre-merge and these last few eps. have been VERY entertaining and we haven't gotten too many duds like Natalie, Alexis, and Jason.  Hated the fans.

At least we dont have to wait as long as we do for the fall season. Waiting for Gabon seemed like it took years!

China > Gabon > Micronesia
The only thing that Micronesia has going for it that the others don't is a final two. |

Some people may like China, but I thought it was horribly boring. Actually it is second to last after Vanuatu imo, and Micronesia isn't far behind. The
flaws Gabon has are totally irretractible, which are the awful editing, the final 3, EI and the idol. Otherwise it is a marvelous season because it at least
has some interest in the people. Micronesia only cares about blindsides, blindsides by people and at people we have little reason to care about.

(although it still contradicts with the whole survival aspect but they threw that out the window when they went to China, or arguably, Thailand, so all the big cultural countries are fair game now, even fucking Japan) |

Just cause a place is a well known country, doesn't mean parts of it aren't isolated and far removed from civilization.

India's a big fucking place, no way there isnt some kind of natural reserve or SOMETHING they could film in. And Fokkerd... they did islands seasons 11/17 times... we got another few before it's balanced again. |
