Citytv Continues to Heat Things Up this Summer! Programming Highlights / Citytv Posted by RAD on Jun 15, 2009 - 10:23 AM The following changes and additions have been made to Citytv’s exciting summer line up: The Goode Family ***Moved to Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT (7pm CT/ 9pm MT) When it comes to living life by the rules the Goodes are more than just a little over the top! Gerald (Mike Judge, King of the Hill), Helen (Nancy Carell, The Office), Ubuntu (Dave Herman, King of the Hill) and Bliss (Linda Cardellini, ER) – are a family obsessed with doing the “right” thing environmentally, politically and socially. Every move is carefully checked against their self imposed social conscience and often results in unintended comic consequences. From their hybrid car that they only use in emergencies because it’s bad for the environment, to their beloved dog Che who despite being raised vegan satisfies his meat cravings by devouring neighbourhood pets, to the lengths to which Gerald and Helen will go to relate to their children, the Goodes live life by the best of intentions. While their choices don’t always pay off, they always leave you rooting for them. The Goode Family was created, written and executive produced by Mike Judge (King of the Hill), David Krinsky and John Altschuler (Blades of Glory; King of the Hill). Royal Pains – Canadian Premiere ***Premieres Sunday, June 14 at 9pm ET/CT/PT (10pm MT) Royal Pains, centers on young doctor Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein - In Her Shoes) who seems to have it all ... thriving career, beautiful girlfriend, and swank NYC apartment.

Months later, single and blacklisted from the medical community, Hank goes for a weekend in the Hamptons with his brother (Paulo Costanzo - Joey). Crashing a party at a mega-mansion on the beach, Hank jumps into action when a guest requires medical attention that only he is able to diagnose. The next morning, Hank is summoned to another mansion…and then another. Hank's career is revived, but in a way he’s not exactly happy about, as he becomes a "doctor for hire" to the rich, famous and infamous. When the attractive administrator of the local hospital asks him to treat the town's less fortunate, he finds himself walking the line between doing well for himself and doing good for others. The show also stars Jill Flint (Gossip Girl) and Reshma Shetty (30 Rock). The pilot features guest appearances by Campbell Scott (Six Degrees) and Christine Ebersole (Saturday Night Live).
