NEW SEASONS
NEW SERIES
Survivor
Survivor
Battle Creek
Survivor, the longestrunning reality
competition series,
hosted by Jeff Probst,
is returning for its 30th
season. This season will
feature a unique twist
where the castaways will
be broken up into three
tribes of all new players
representing the cross
section of American
society - White Collar,
Blue Collar and No Collar.
Remedy
A critically acclaimed, proven
performer, this high stakes, primetime
medical drama from creator and
showrunner Greg Spottiswood (King),
follows the Conner family’s trials
and tribulations, while zeroing in on
the distinct “upstairs/downstairs”
dynamic of a downtown hospital.
Season two kicks off nine months
after the finale with each member of
the Conner family pulled out of their
comfort zones and Bethune Hospital
in the midst of a colossal shake up.
Griffin Conner (Dillon Casey) seems to
finally be getting his life on track with
plans to return to medical school and
a serious girlfriend, but his dark and
troubled past continues to haunt him.
Meanwhile, Allen (Enrico Colantoni)
must re-adjust following his demotion
from Chief of Staff, while his daughters
– surgeon Mel (Sara Canning) and new
mom Sandy (Sarah Allen) – search to
balance co-parenting baby Toby with
work and play.
Remedy
Battle Creek
Battle Creek stars Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters in a drama about two mismatched
law enforcement officers. Their polar opposite views of the world and crime-solving
breed frustration, disdain, humour and possibly a grudging respect as they clean up
the hardscrabble streets of Battle Creek, Michigan. Detective Russ Agnew, a good
but gruff, hard-boiled detective, has his world upended when strikingly handsome,
charismatic Special Agent Milton Chamberlain opens an FBI field office at the police
station and chooses Russ to be his partner. Milt’s polished sophistication and access
to unlimited state-of-the-art equipment is impressive to his new co-workers in the
absurdly underfunded department. As Russ and Milt work long hours together in the
economically distressed city of Battle Creek, the question is: will it be Milt’s charm
and endless supply of high-end resources or Russ’s old-fashioned cynicism, guile and
deception that prove to be the keys to catching the bad guys in his beloved hometown?

Extant SEASON 2
Rookie Blue SEASON 6
Academy Award® Winner Halle Berry
returns for the serialized drama Extant,
a mystery thriller about a female
astronaut trying to reconnect with
her family when she returns after a
year in outer space. Her experiences
lead to events that ultimately will
change the course of human history.
Season 2 will be the start of Molly’s
search for her alien offspring. Extant
is a co-production of CBS Television
Studios and Amblin Television. Steven
Spielberg, Greg Walker, and Mickey
Fisher wrote the script, and Brooklyn
Weaver, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank
will serve as executive producers.
Halle Berry will serve as co-executive
producer.
Season 5 ended with two bombs being dropped
on the officers of 15 Division – the explosion in the
evidence room, and the revelation that Sam’s exgirlfriend Marlo is pregnant with his baby. Last season,
the officers at 15 Division unearthed their sins of the
past – dug through them, aired them out, and paved
the way to move forward. They have all grown and are
more resilient than ever. This season, they will have
to learn to embrace living in the grey areas, because
life is complicated and the best laid plans are just
that. They will learn that sometimes the unpredictable
things life throws our way turn out to be exactly what
we need. Under the Dome SEASON 3
The successful second season of Under the Dome
was last summer’s top scripted series, and continued
the story of a small town that was suddenly and
inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by
an enormous transparent dome. Under the Dome is
produced by CBS Television Studios in association
with Amblin Television. Steven Spielberg and
Stephen King.

of course, showmance, as

grand prize.

the rules of standard home renovation.
Designer/Builder Paul Lafrance,
known for his wicked backyard
transformations, is taking his creativity
inside. Each week Paul tackles two
projects that he customizes for clients
with spectacular results. It could be a full
kitchen reno or a rundown 1970’s bar cart
– Paul’s willing to put his custom spin on
any room or any thing battered, broken or
bent. With his hilarious crew by his side,
each project will be cool, amazing and
knowing Paul, one of a kind!
I Wrecked My House

hour series that showcases the worst
handiwork in the history of DIY’ers.

Iron Chefs Bobby Flay and Michael Symon,
Level 4 World Class Kitchen Inferno
Gladiator Curtis Stone, and Chef Alex
Guarnaschelli, make up one of the fiercest
foursomes in culinary competitions. And
in the brand-new upcoming series AllStar Academy hosted by Ted Allen, they’ll
battle it out in the kitchen as mentor versus
mentor with teams of shining home cooks.
All-Star Academy
Chopped All Stars
Chopped All-Stars brings together famous chefs, talent from Food Network, current
Chopped judges and popular celebrities to compete for a chance at winning the title of
All-Stars champion and $50,000 for charity. Though these competitors seem completely
unrelated, the one thing that connects them is a shared love for food. But above all they want
a chance at giving back to the charities they care about.
Chopped All Stars
Cutthroat Kitchen: Evilicious
A special Cutthroat Kitchen event. We
are bringing back some of your favorite
all-stars (and near-winners) from past
Cutthroat Kitchen episodes and pit them
against one another! Cutthroat Kitchen
hands four chefs each $25,000 and the
opportunity to spend that money on
helping themselves or sabotaging their
competitors. Ingredients will be thieved,
utensils destroyed and valuable time on the clock lost when the chefs compete to cook
delicious dishes while also having to out plot the competition. With Alton Brown as the
devilish provocateur, nothing is out of bounds when money changes hands and we see just
how far chefs will go to ensure they have the winning dish.

Chopped is a cooking competition show that is all about skill, speed and ingenuity. Each

ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. Course by course, the chefs will be
“chopped” from the competition until only one winner remains.
Mystery Diners
When a restaurant owner suspects employees of not doing their jobs - whether it be
stealing, lying, mistreating customers or generally doing lousy work - they call in the
Mystery Diners. These Mystery Diners are undercover operatives who go into restaurants,
bars and food service establishments with hidden cameras to perform surveillance to find
out what’s really going on when the boss isn’t around.

art, fashion and culture are part of everyday living. Arguably one of Italy’s most popular
regions for tourists, David shows the audience the undiscovered parts of Tuscany, all in
search of simple, accessible Italian cuisine
Guy’s Grocery Games
In each episode, four chefs must battle it out over three rounds through a number of
complex challenges designed to test their culinary chops. Whether its creating a dish in
five ingredients or less, preparing a meal using only canned foods, or using ingredients
only found in the frozen food section, the chefs will have to use all the tools in their arsenal

Dance Moms

Abby Lee Miller and the nation’s
favourite tween dancers take

and new dance studios raise the
stakes higher than ever before.
Devious Maids
Executive produced by Marc
Cherry and Eva Longoria,
and starring Ana Ortiz, Dania
Ramírez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy
Ganem, Judy Reyes and Susan
Lucci, Devious Maids is set in
a world where murder and
mayhem collide in the mansions
of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and
most powerful families. Class
warfare has never been as fun
and dirty as it is in the tiny
enclave where the staff are as clever, witty and downright devilish as their employers.
The series centres on a close-knit group of maids, Marisol (Ortiz), Rosie (Ramírez),
Carmen (Sánchez), Valentina (Ganem) and Zoila (Reyes), who are bonded by their jobs,
life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers.

it’s the bizarre suicide of her half-brother, the

people who crossed Lizzie Borden all seemed to
meet a bad end. But when Charlie Siringo, a clever
Pinkerton detective who rode with Wyatt Earp,
becomes determined to prove Lizzie’s connection
to these deaths, it appears Lizzie Borden might have met her match. The series combines
historical fact with historical fiction, following Lizzie’s love affairs, her Great Gatsby style

Antiques Roadshow, part Sanford & Son,

time undercover, Gangland Undercover

and respect is earned through fear.
Featuring a little-known side of the antiques business, American Pickers follows the
adventures of Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, two professional ‘pickers’ who travel the back

Human Calculator
Was King Arthur real? Why do cultures around the world share terrifying tales of a
Boogeyman that lives in closets and under beds? Did every vampire legend stem from
the true, macabre story of Elizabeth Bathory, the royal demon-lady who bathed in blood?
From Aztec skulls to Zeus, this series brings to life legends from history with dramatic and
sometimes terrifying reimaginings. Each legend will be interspersed with surprising, relevant
information, while simultaneously exploring how that legend lives on today.
How to Win
History is filled with winners and losers. Now, for
the first time, a series will provide viewers with
practical information and real tools that will help
them win - while revealing surprising winning tips
from some of history’s most recognizable figures.
Drawing on writings by Benjamin Franklin and
survival skills employed by our ancient human
ancestors, How to Win shows you how the
How to Win
greatest before us have done just that. Did you
know you’re more likely to land a job if you wear something red during an interview? Or that
printing text in an unfamiliar font can help you memorize it? You might be surprised what
history’s winners have to teach you about today.
Scott Flansburg was born with an extremely rare neurological ability that makes him almost
superhuman. He is the Human Calculator: he sees numbers and patterns in everything,
allowing him to calculate advanced mathematical functions visually instantly. Because of
this ability, Flansburg sees patterns everywhere, and numbers the rest of us can’t see. The
fact is, the world is made up of hidden numbers – from the dimensions of buildings, to
the proportions of the human body, and even the hidden number patterns in the way we
communicate. Human Calculator combines scientific investigation along with great stories
from history which together take viewers on a journey to reveal a hidden world that most
of us never knew existed, but that completely controls our lives.

for investigation. MUFON, an independent organization dedicated to investigating
UFOs, has worked diligently to compile, research and archive these files. Hangar 1:
