At 10 p.m., CTV gives Canadians a first look at the most talked about new series of the year, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP with Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford.

MONDAY

The prime-time weekday line-up leads with Canada's No. 1 comedy Corner Gas at 8 p.m. It's the perfect lead-in to the new comedy THE CLASS at 8:30 from Emmy-Award winner "Friends" creator David Crane. At 9 p.m. CTV debuts the new John Wells action series SMITH starring Ray Liotta followed by another thrilling year of Monday night kingpin CSI: Miami at 10 p.m.

TUESDAY

On Tuesday, CTV captures the dancing craze with Dancing With The Stars at 8 p.m. When Dancing concludes, CTV will premiere Season 6 of Degrassi: The Next Generation in the time slot with back-to back episodes filling the hour. At 9 p.m. last year's #1 new drama Criminal Minds starring Mandy Patinkin at 9 p.m. At 10 p.m. CTV returns the night's No. 1 program with Law and Order: SVU.

WEDNESDSAY

At 8 p.m., it's the results show for Dancing With The Stars at 8 p.m. Then, CTV will split the Fall season with two great hits at 9 p.m. Bruckheimer's JUSTICE will premiere in late summer for CTV.

THURSDAY

Thursday is truly Must "C-T-V". A pre-release of The O.C at 7 p.m. leads straight into Grey's Anatomy, the only drama on the dial at 8 p.m. Then at 9p.m. it's television's No. 1 program CSI returning for another killer year. At 10 p.m., CTV returns the prolific ER, stronger than ever, to the timeslot. Look for more gains without time-slot competitor Without A Trace to compete with.

At 8 p.m., Jennifer Love Hewitt returns for a sophomore season in Ghost Whisperer, one of the most-watched new programs of the year last year.
