on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 09:07 AM |
On TV Land Canada, everything old is new again! New to the TV Land Canada schedule this September is Fantasy Island; Hart to Hart; Love, American Style; and It’s Garry Shandling’s Show. Also returning to TV Land Canada this fall are: Dallas, Happy Days, Lassie, 21 Jump Street, Petticoat Junction, Joanie Loves Chachi and Wiseguy.
NEW PROGRAMS:
FANTASY ISLAND
Guests travel to the remote island resort to have their wishes fulfilled. Upon arrival, they are greeted by their mysterious host, the debonair and suave white-suited Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) and his diminutive sidekick, Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize), whose cry, "De plane! De plane!," became a popular catchphrase.
HART TO HART
Jonathan Hart was a self-made millionaire – the CEO of Hart Industries, a global conglomerate. His gorgeous wife Jennifer was a freelance journalist. They are both amateur sleuths who find themselves up to their eyeballs in murder, smuggling, theft and international espionage. Created by author Sidney Sheldon, Hart to Hart stars Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as the Harts; Lionel Stander as Max, their loyal live-in housekeeper and chauffeur; and Freeway, their scruffy little dog.
LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE
In this anthology comedy series, each hour-long episode features a line-up of different celebrity guest stars appearing in short stories or vignettes about love and romance. An episode which aired on February 25, 1972, entitled "Love and the Happy Days," became the pilot for the popular TV series Happy Days. That episode was written by Garry Marshall and featured Ron Howard (as Richie), Marion Ross (as Mrs. Cunningham), Anson Williams (as Potsie), among others.
IT’S GARRY SHANDLING’S SHOW
Set in Garry Shandling's condominium in Sherman Oaks, California, Shandling plays a single man looking for the right woman. He spends his free time with his platonic friend Nancy (Molly Cheek), his best friend's family (Stanley Tucci and Bernadette Birkett) and his single mother. Much of the show mimicked Shandling's own life, and although each episode of the show was scripted, Shandling was known to improvise his lines.
RETURNING FAVOURITES:
DALLAS
Big hair, cat-fights and shoulder pads are only part of the pop-culture charm of Dallas. The quintessential ‘80s soap opera chronicles the exploits of wealthy Texas oil millionaires and their shady business dealings and dysfunctional family dynamics. Stars Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Priscilla Presley and George Kennedy.
HAPPY DAYS
Long before political correctness would make stories about clean-cut boys obsessed with seducing girls and how to be cool unthinkable, there was Happy Days. The show presented an idealized version of life in late ‘50s and early ‘60s America. Stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler.
LASSIE
Over the course of 691 episodes, Timmy never fell down a well. Although the series was known for a dramatic well rescue that never occurred, Lassie rescues Timmy from bank robbers, runaway trains and rapid rivers. Stars Lassie the Dog, Jon Provost and June Lockhart.
21 JUMP STREET
Known as the show that launched the career of Johnny Depp, 21 Jump Street has five seasons of great success. Jump Street is a group of young cops whose youthful appearances enabled them to work undercover to catch troubled youths. The show received critical acclaim for addressing real issues like hate crimes, drug abuse, gay-bashing, AIDS and sexual promiscuity. Also stars Peter DeLuise, Holly Robinson and Dustin Nguyen.
WISEGUY
This Emmy-nominated series tells the story of an undercover agent who must play the part of a criminal in order to break into the local crime ring. Stars Ken Wahl.
PETTICOAT JUNCTION
Get on the right track with classic television. Set in the rural town of Hooterville, the series follows the goings-on at the Shady Rest Hotel and the Hooterville Cannonball, a steam-driven train. City folks escape their hectic urban life with brief stays in the rural village causing crazy misadventures for everyone. Stars June Lockhart, Lori Saunders and Edgar Buchanan.
JOANIE LOVES CHACHI
The Happy Days spin-off follows the exploits of Joanie and Chachi as they move to Chicago and try to make it on their own with a rock band. Besides trying to keep Joanie happy, Chachi must also deal with the often unwanted, but sometimes needed, advice and interference from his friends, relatives and neighbours. Stars Scott Baio, Erin Moran and Ellen Travolta.
