The Amazing Race

Series Premiere (8 p.m., CBS)

Meet the 11 new teams traveling around the world in hopes of being first to the finish line. This season’s players include dating and married couples, sibling lawyers, former cheerleaders and a mom who’s paired up with her deaf son. The Emmy-winning reality competition might even inspire its first Oscar nod, as noted screenwriter Mike White and his clergyman/gay-activist dad, Mel, compete in the series’ 14th season.
