Beginning next Monday, The Comedy Network is rolling out its mid-season lineup that features two returning Canadian series, three new series and two new network premieres.
Comedy Central’s ‘realitoon’ series, Drawn Together, a Real World-style show with fictional cartoons as housemates, kicks off The Comedy Network’s new set of series on Saturday, Feb. 19, with The Assistant, Andy Dick’s Apprentice knockoff (the catch phrase is ‘It’s elimination time, bitches!’), and Britcom, French & Saunders hitting the air on Thursday, March 3 (10:30 p.m.) and Sunday, March 6 (6 p.m.) respectively.
With the Red Sox World Series victory still fresh in everyone’s minds, Comedy Network is bringing Cheers back to Canadian television weekdays at 4:30 p.m. while Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie return for The Simple Life: Interns making its network debut on Saturday, Feb. 5 (8:30 p.m.) which will hopefully not be shot using that annoying night-vision camera.
Gemini award-winning series Buzz will return for its sixth and final season on Feb. 4 at 10:30 p.m. while the other returning series, Puppets Who Kill, which holds the network record for Gemini nominations with nine in the last two years, will join Buzz the following Friday at 10 p.m.
