What happens

Million Dollar Mile is an American obstacle course competition television series that premiered on March 27, 2019, on CBS. Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow served as the main host, with Matt "Money" Smith and Maria Taylor as co-hosts, and NBA player LeBron James as an executive producer. The object of the game was to run through a 1-mile (1.6 km) obstacle course through Los Angeles's Westlake District and Downtown near the Los Angeles Center Studios, while avoiding various obstacles along the course, including a group of elite athletes whose goal was to stop them from winning the prize money à la American Gladiators, which could total up to $1 million if the entire course was completed successfully. After just two episodes with low ratings, CBS moved the show from its Wednesday slot to Saturday nights, beginning May 4, 2019. That two-week run did no better compared to the ratings of CBS's usual Crimetime Saturday rerun block, and it was again pulled, with six episodes still unaired. CBS later scheduled the end of the burn-off of the series starting July 6, 2019, with the remaining episodes airing weekly. Repeats have aired on CBS Sports Network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
