The Amazing Race's first season in HD starts this weekend
Ahead of The Amazing Race's 18th season premiere Sunday night on CBS, the producers and host are finally talking a bit about the jump to HD and how it should enhance the program. We've been wishing the show would switch to high definition for years and host Phil Keoghan told the AP he agrees, "I think if there's any show on prime-time network television that lends itself to HD, it's 'The Amazing Race.' It screams for HD, and it's been screaming for HD for a long time." There's stops in Asia, Europe and South America bookended by the start in California and finish in Australia and we're anticipating a great look at everything with the new HD cameras. There's not a lot of technical details in this piece, but if you just need a primer before the action starts, punch the read link.
The Amazing Race finally goes HD next season
One of the highest profile prime time television programs still broadcast in standard definition is CBS' The Amazing Race, and after a long wait, it will finally make the jump to high definition next season. Like Survivor, it's a perfect fit with action taking place at some of the most picturesque settings around the globe. Big Brother, America's Next Top Model and Hell's Kitchen (Fox Widescreen) fill out the rest of the still-SD reality programming slate, but your guess is as good as ours about which will be the next to go.
