(WINNIPEG) - End-of-summer teen angst, heavyweight parental guidance and the antics of television’s sexiest singles are all essential viewing for TV lovers this month in TVtropolis.
Beverly Hills, 90210 Back to School Marathon
Monday, Sept 4 from 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. ET/PT
Class action, anyone? Celebrate the last blast of summer with the West Beverly High gang in select episodes focusing on summer’s end and the start of the school season. Included: the original two-hour pilot episode, the first appearance of Emily Valentine, and an ongoing Brenda-Dylan-Kelly dynamic that’s stickier than any school-issued, gum-filled combination lock.
Hogan Knows Best – “Parental Guidance?” Marathon
Sunday, Sept 24, 2:30- 6 p.m. ET/PT
“And in this corner… a parenting genius!” Where Drs. Spock and Phil fear to tread, there’s always Hulk Hogan. Every week, TV’s favourite doting dad in wrestling tights uses extreme, unconventional methods to keep a stronghold on the day-to-day lives of his teenaged kids, Brooke and Nick. Spend an afternoon ringside with the master of family harmony as TVtropolis airs the entire, seven-episode first season of Hogan Knows Best leading up to the second season premiere.
Hogan Knows Best – Season 2 Premiere
Sunday, Sept 24, @ 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET/PT
“Brooke Breaks Away” – In the season opener, Brooke is furious over a lack of freedom, so Hulk reluctantly agrees to let her move to the family’s beach house… where Brooke learns that privacy has its price.
Friends – Starting Sept16
Saturdays @ 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
Sundays @ 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. ET/PT
Joining TVtropolis on weekends are 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.
The Wonder Years – Starting September 11
Weekdays @ 1 and 4:30 ET/PT; Weekends @ 10 a.m. ET/PT
Set in the ‘60s, amidst Vietnam protests and the spike of America’s space program, 12-year-old Kevin Arnold’s world orbits around his classmate Winnie, with whom he romantically stumbles. Home life has as much unrest as the social landscape. Kevin lives with his intimidating father Jack, reserved mother Norma, bully brother Wayne and hippie sister Karen.
TVtropolis “Canadian Originals” Premiere Week: Sept 18-22
Inside The Box - New Original Series
Debuts Monday, Sept 18 Airs Monday-Friday @ 7:30 ET/PT
Couch potatoes prepare to whip and mash their competition. Host Sam Kalileh presides over this fast-paced showdown, pitting three contestants against each other in an unpredictable and irreverent battle of TV trivia. Up for grabs each episode is a cool $10,000.
Ad Persuasion - New Original Series
Debuts Monday, Sept 18 @ 7 p.m. ET/PT
Not to jumble Marshall McLuhan, but welcome to the series where the message is the medium. Ad Persuasion spotlights the ad as art form, focusing on the world’s most creative, award-winning commercials, with added perspective and insight from international industry experts. In an age where we tune in to watch the commercials first and the Super Bowl second, Ad Persuasion is a perfect fit; a salute to the wunderkinds who captivate us every commercial break.
FANatical - New Original Series
Debuts Tuesday, Sept 19 @ 7 p.m. ET/PT
With verve and enthusiasm, FANatical delves into the world of TV through an innovative perspective – the hearts and minds of real TV fans. Meet TV lovers who keep hit shows and guilty pleasures alive, help spread the buzz and actually shape the creative direction of their favourite shows. Instantly relatable for anyone who's ever posted an episode inconsistency on a message board, found Shakespearean subtext in Walker, Texas Ranger or cross-referenced Bea Arthur scowls from both Maude and Golden Girls, FANatical is the series for all TV authorities.
Be Real… - New Original Series
Debuts Wednesday, Sept 20 @ 7 p.m. ET/PT
Move over, ‘Who shot J.R.?’ Welcome to, ‘Who will J.R. shoot?” Host J.R. Digs plays director as he commandeers the lives of everyday people to create a reality show out of their daily lives. Where the day will take them – and what adventures will befall them – is anybody’s guess, but be certain, Be Real… proves that ordinary life, when it’s on camera J.R. Digs style, is never, ever dull.
Whatever Happened To… - New Original Series
Debuts Thursday, Sept 21 @ 7 p.m. ET/PT
They may depart our TV screens and bid adieu to the marquee, but they never really leave our collective consciousness. Whatever Happened To… catches up with film and TV stars as they reveal, in new interviews, the paths they’ve taken. Filled with twists, turns and trivia (What do Will Smith and Corey Haim have in common?), Whatever Happened To… proves that once you’re famous, the pop culture bubble never really bursts.
