Amazing Race 15
8/7c CBS
The Emmy-winning series, which last Sunday nabbed its seventh consecutive reality-competition trophy, launches its 15th season with 12 teams in Los Angeles. While that's one pair more than usual, only 11 duos will fly to Tokyo on the race's first leg. Why? One team is eliminated before leaving the starting line. Participants include two members of the Harlem Globetrotters, a man with Asperger's syndrome, a pair of professional poker players, gay brothers, and Miss America 2004, Erika Dunlap, who is half of the show's first interracial married couple.
Read on for previews of The National Parks: America's Best Idea, Desperate Housewives, Cleveland Show and Dexter.

Question: I appreciate the fact that you addressed the reader's question about the lack of minority sitcoms. No, The Cleveland Show does not count. It's a cartoon voiced by a white man, written by a white man. Don't get me wrong — Seth MacFarlane and his writing staff are top-notch. But come on, a cartoon character is the best the networks can do? Also, you were dead on about Sex and the City. I hated it. (And I am female and loved the show.) Carrie acted like an idiot. Her man told her several times that he was not happy with all the wedding plans (in that non-direct way some men have) and she just didn't listen. You'd think after dating a man for years that Carrie would be able to read him better. I was so disgusted. The most real stories for me were those of Samantha and Miranda. I am so tired of watching new shows with increasingly younger and white casts. Every black woman is not the "sassy best friend" of some white woman. Please don't forget about your minority readers.
