In early june, Canwest revealed information about fall programming [1] of its specialty channels. Today, we give more details about the new and returning programming as well as premiere dates (when available). FALL 2008 BRAND NEW SERIES The Young and the Restless Cable Premiere Weekdays at 7pm ET beginning September 1 With a same-day primetime play on Showcase Diva, viewers will never have to miss an episode of the number one daytime drama The Young And The Restless. Revolving around the rivalries, romances, hopes and fears of the residents of Genoa City, dominated by the Newman, Abbott and Winters families. Starring Jeanne Cooper, Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott, Peter Bergman, Kristoff St. John Boston Legal, Seasons One – Four (88x60min) Cable Premiere Weekdays at 4pm ET beginning September 1 Led by an Emmy® Award-winning cast, Boston Legal tells the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Fast-paced and wildly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law. Back-to-back Emmy® Award winners James Spader and William Shatner play Alan Shore and Denny Crane, unlikely kindred spirits among the brigade of high-priced litigators at Crane Poole & Schmidt. In addition, Shirley Schmidt (played by five-time Emmy® winner Candice Bergen), a founding partner of the firm, continues to help bring order to the chaotic office. She keeps a vigilant eye on all, particularly on Denny Crane, with whom she shares a checkered past. Starring William Shatner, Candice Bergen, James Spader. 90210, Season One (26x60min) Network Premiere Sundays at 5pm ET beginning September 7 An edgy, contemporary spinoff of the iconic drama Beverly Hills, 90210, the new 90210 looks at life through the eyes of Annie Mills and her brother Dixon, whose first day at West Beverly Hills High School leaves no doubt they’re not in Kansas anymore. For Annie and Dixon, the awkwardness of being the new kids is made worse by the fact that their dad has taken a job as the high school principal. The Mills family has just begun to realize how much their lives are about to change. Starring: Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Lori Laughlin, Rob Estes, Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling. Friends, Season 4 (22x30min) Network Premiere Sundays at 6pm – 7pm ET beginning September 7 The social phenom sitcom that impacts everything from coffee houses to cover stories, hairstyles to home video is coming to Showcase Diva this fall. Friends follows the ardent adventures of New York twentysomethings Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe - the often imitated, over-caffeinated sextet whose riotous run-ins with careers ("He's a transponster!"), romance ("We're on a break.") and ugly, naked neighbours make for some of the most memorable and quotable comedy ever to grace a TV. Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer How I Met Your Mother, Seasons Two and Three (42x30min) Cable Premiere Sundays at 7pm – 8pm ET/PT beginning September 7 How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted and how he fell in love. It all started when Ted's best friend, Marshall, dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Lily, a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he had better get a move on if he, too, hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is his friend Barney, a confirmed bachelor with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin, he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny has something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future. Starring: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders.
