The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency
Back-to-back Episodes - Sundays @ 7 and 7:30 p.m. ET/PT ]
SERIES PREMIERE January 14
Controversial (and combative) supermodel Janice Dickinson isn’t just the cattiest icon to ever grace a catwalk – she’s also got a mind for business and a mouth for, well, giving people the business. Join the self-proclaimed ‘world’s first supermodel’ as she builds her own agency from the ground up, including scouting talent and shaping the lives of the models under her charge.
January 14 - “In The Beginning”/“Get Down To Business”
The open calls are out and over 500 models lineup for tryouts – it’s a slow process, but Janice cuts to the quick, eventually choosing her lineup, which includes a homeless woman and a stunning Sudanese native. Then, Janice searches for a business partner to handle the financial side of her venture, and fires her first set of assistants.
January 21 – “Cut The Fat”/“First Job”
Janice squares off with her associate over a casting session, and gets unbelievably blunt when it comes to a weighty issue. Then, it’s more open casting calls and the models relish their first honest-to-goodness booking.
January 28 – “NYC”/“It’s Official”
Off to the big city in their skivvies – Janice and three of her male models head to New York for an underwear shoot. Next, Janice hosts a red carpet gala for her agency debut.
That News Show
NEW CANADIAN ORIGINAL SERIES - Wednesdays @ 7 p.m. starting January 10
Leprechauns on the loose? Cheese wheel-chasing zealots? That’s so bizarre it must be true – and you can bet a news crew caught it on camera. That News Show is the irreverent series that culls the most peculiar human interest news items from all over the world, and makes sense of it all in one hilarious half hour of Grade A B-roll. Cross-pollinate sensibilities from The Daily Show and America’s Funniest Home Videos and you get That News Show – where journalistic integrity meets human oddity, and the pundits call it comedic genius. With host Nancy Regan.
Mad About You
Weekdays @ 4 p.m. ET/PT beginning January 8
Weekends @ 10 a.m. ET/PT starting January 13
In this hit comedy series, newly-married New Yorkers Paul and Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt) are dearly devoted but have much to kvetch about. Filled with observational humour that zeroes in on a couple’s most interior, intimate moments, Mad About You is the smash hit that charms with honest comedy, exploring what a couple does after saying, “I do.”
Deal Or No Deal
From the Series Beginning - Weekends @ 5 p.m. ET/PT– starting January 13
Viewers can get on the case right from the series’ very first episode as TVtropolis brings the international game show phenom to its weekend lineup. Howie Mandel presides as everyday contestants pare down suitcases and intercept offers from an anonymous banker in their quest for millions. Their suitcase selections either vault them to the financial heavens or send them packing. Bold chances, big bucks and beautiful briefcase models… how could Deal Or No Dealnot be television’s most exhilarating hour?
The Biggest Loser
New to TVtropolis - Sundays @ 8 p.m. ET/PT starting January 14
You say the premise is thin? Thanks for the compliment! Caroline Rhea hosts the hit series that helps contestants overcome seemingly insurmountable weight issues with the help of trainers and health experts. The contestant who loses the most has everything to gain, including $250,000. Inspiring and captivating every step of the way – The Biggest Loser proves that good things come to those who weigh in.
Beverly Hills, 90210

Fanatical
Tuesdays @ 7 p.m. ET/PT
TVtropolis' hit Canadian original series continues to introduce viewers to the world’s most fascinating TV fans with all-new episodes throughout January.

Travel to Portland, Oregon and get roped in by two devout Wonder Woman fans – Andy, whose “Wonder Woman Day” raises $12,000 for two women’s shelters, and Anina, a woman so inspired by the series’ messages of female empowerment that she is now the star of her own action comic book, Heartbreakers.
January 23 – “The Simpsons”
