Fat Lady Sings for "Viva Laughlin," While "Amazing Race" Waits in Wings

The fat lady has sung for musical drama Viva Laughlin.

Series, which died on stage in its two airings to date, has sung its last pop-inspired aria and has been yanked off of CBS' schedule, effective immediately.

Network will air a repeat of CSI in its Sunday at 8 pm timeslot before giving the time period over to returning reality series The Amazing Race, which launches on November 4th.

"If there ever was a season that I consider one of the best, it's this one," said Amazing Race's creator/director/executive producer Bertram van Munster in a statement. "It's insanely funny, fast-paced and dramatic all at once. Teams are in hot pursuit of one another at every location and its reality television at its nail-biting best."

This season on The Amazing Race, teams will travel approximately 50,000 miles, including first time stops in Ireland, Lithuania and Croatia.

Teehee! I cannot wait. For too long, The Amazing Race has been sadly absent from my already jam-packed television-viewing week.
