	Gavin Crawford Show	TBA - Spring 2003	Season 3 premiere - Nominated for three Canadian Comedy Awards, THE GAVIN CRAWFORD SHOW is one of The Comedy Network’s most critically acclaimed original series. “It’s the kind of detailed, gender-bending character comedy that made Tracey Ullman an international hit,” says TV Data.

Set amid a crazy neighbourhood full of oddball characters - almost all of which are played by comic chameleon Gavin Crawford – each episode is distinguished by a theme. Crawford plays dozens of characters, including audience favourites like über-nerd Mark Jackson, fashion designer Uwe Meyer, porn star Hugey McNutts, bike courier Top Knott, yoga guru Michael Michaels and Myrna Howard Hessman, the glamorous sister of naïve librarian Verna Howard.

	Just for Laugh - Gags	Mondays @ 9:30pm starting february 17th	Season 3 premiere
	Kevin Spencer	Sundays @ 11pm starting february 2nd	Greg Lawrence’s KEVIN SPENCER is one of The Comedy Network’s most successful original series. Now entering its sixth season, the series achieves viewership numbers on par with SOUTH PARK and THE SIMPSONS and has attracted acclaim from its underground cult audience and critics too. Indeed, The Toronto Star wrote that KEVIN SPENCER “isn’t just bad-attitude comedy…it’s brilliant social satire about low-lifes, crime and the justice system.” The adult animated series recounts the torments and troubles of a mixed-up, teenaged sociopath - addicted to cough syrup and cigarettes – who just wants to fit in and “straighten things out.” Animated crudely in bright colours, scored with an upbeat soundtrack and narrated like a children’s story, the innocent tone of KEVIN SPENCER is hugely distinctive from the series’ perverse plots and storylines.

Shot in front of a live audience, THE MAN SHOW takes an unapologetic look at things men think, like and do. Flanked by the bodacious Juggy Dance Squad girls, Jimmy and Adam combine sketch comedy, man-on-the-street interviews, celebrity drops-ins and recurring segments such as “Man-O-Vations.” And, as promised, each episode ends with girls jumping on trampolines!
	Primetime Glick	TBA - Spring 2003 - Sundays @ 9:30pm	Returning for its third season, PRIMETIME GLICK stars Martin Short as infamous celebrity interviewer and Hollywood legend Jiminy Glick.
