Global TV Fall 2009 Primetime Schedule

Canwest has announced the Fall 2009 schedule for Global TV. Returning shows include House, Lie to Me, NCIS, Bones, The Office, Survivor, Heroes, Brothers & Sisters, Family Guy and The Simpsons.

New shows included the much-buzzed about Glee, as well as the Family Guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show, based on the popular character, Cleveland Brown. Another promising spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles joins Global's schedule, starring LL Cool Jay and Chris O'Donnell. Julianna Margulies stars in the new drama, The Good Wife, about a politician's wife, who must pick up the pieces after his scandalous conviction. And, the remake of Melrose Place will add a bit of spice to the night.

CTV's 2009-2010 Fall Programming

CTV and A TV's Upfronts were held June 2. The executives pitched their wares to advertisers promising their schedules had the most Top 20 shows. CTV's schedule was "...designed to win every timeslot, night after night, week after week." The statements sounds weary. CTV and its sister networks have been promoting a grass roots initiative to persuade the Canadian government to allow broadcast networks and local stations to charge cable and satellite providers to air their programming. This would lessen the television broadcast industry's dependence on advertising dollars.

Nevertheless, the CTV schedule continues to combine its popular blend of pop culture and old favorites.

CTV's daytime schedule will see Dr. Mehmet C. Oz replace General Hospital. The venerable soap will move to 'A'. "The Dr. Oz Show" is a health and wellness talk show produced by Oprah's Harpo Productions and Sony Picture Entertainment. Beginning Sept. 14 at 5:00 PM ET, Dr. Oz will follow the broadcast of Oprah.

Special events include the September premiere of the CTV original movie, Paradise City: Degrassi goes to Hollywood. CTV will also host the 82nd Annual Academy Awrds, Super Bowl XLIV, The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards, The 2010 Juno Awards, and The Scotiabank Giller Award. Of course, they are the home of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and 2012 Olympics in London, England.

CTV also confirmed that Brent Butt is the creator, executive producer and writer of "Hiccups." The 13-part comedy series stars Nancy Robertson (Corner Gas) as a children's author who employs Butt as her life coach to help her control her anger.

Dan for Mayor is another 13-part comedy series in production for CTV. This is from writers and producers Mark Farrell, Paul Mather, and Kevin White. Fred Ewanuick, also from Corner Gas, stars as a bartender who runs for mayor.
