With two Canadian shows on its fall docket--Corner Gas and Whistler--CTV at least, if you want to look on the bright side, scheduled twice as many Canadian shows as it's fellow private broadcast network Global. Nice, huh?
I'm a big fan of Whistler--a damn good show---and I am thankful CTV decided to renew it for a second season, but I wish it wasn't scheduled for Saturdays. In Canada, that's the deathstar night, where no shows end up surviving in the longterm (except for good ol' HNIC which has survived a very long time there).
Degrassi: The Next Generation, is also returning in December...although I'm not so sure that counts as the fall season, does it?
Robson Arms and Instant Star have both been renewed for an additonal season each but likely won't air until sometime in 2008. And there are a few other shows rumoured to be in the works. Rumoured titles of new series include Night Doctor, Listeners and Sold.
Though there are a lack of Canadian shows on CTV's fall schedule, I am happy with the fact that all their shows do contain Canadian-ness (if you get what I mean) and have relatively good productions values.
I can't wait until Whistler starts at the end of this month...It's been literally a year since the season finale aired.
