In 2000, did anyone imagine that CBS, of all networks, would have not one but two respected and critically-acclaiemd reality series that would have seasons totalling in the double-digits? Not at that time; back then CBS was the fuddy-duddy network, and reality was best left to cable networks like MTV.

Of course, with Survivor and The Amazing Race, CBS is now considered to have the gold standard of reality shows. So it's no big surprise to hear that the network has greenlighted an 11th season of Race. It's getting good ratings in its new family-friendly Sunday timeslot, and it's won just about every reality-show Emmy that could be given out. So this was a no-brainer. Wonder what gimmick they're going to come up with for season 11?
