CBS Sets 'Amazing Race' Return, Moves 'Undercover Boss' To Fridays, Shifts 'Man'

When it announced its midseason plans last month, CBS slated reality series Undercover Boss as a bridge between the two cycles of The Amazing Race on Sunday, beginning Jan. 15. Today, the network set a return date for The Amazing Race, Feb. 19. After 3 original telecasts on Sunday, Undercover Boss will relocate to Fridays at 8 PM, taking the slot of struggling freshman drama A Gifted Man, which will shift to 9 PM. Beginning Feb. 17, the Friday 9 PM time period’s occupant, CSI: NY, will go on hiatus until March 30 after A Gifted Man, which received a short 3-episode back order, finishes its freshman run. Here is CBS’ tweaked midseason schedule for Friday and Sunday:
