The Big C
Premiere date: Tuesday, 17 May 2011 at 22h30

The Big C Large

A new series starring Laura Linney as Cathy Jamison, a high school teacher who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

Though she’s always been the perfect suburban wife and mother, her diagnosis means that she's in for dramatic changes. Keeping the news of her illness between her and her young oncologist, Dr. Todd, Cathy is determined to live life - or at least whatever she has left of it - to the fullest.

She starts by throwing her infantile husband Paul out of the house and then orders a pool to be built in her backyard so she can teach her prankster son Adam some of her favourite dives from her childhood.

While Dr. Todd suggests she start by telling her homeless, idiosyncratic brother Sean the news, Cathy keeps him in the dark too.

The series is created by Showtime (creators of Dexter, Californication, Weeds). The series premiered in the US last year and drew the highest ratings for Showtime in eight years.



Minute To Win It
Premiere date: Friday, 27 May 2011 at 19h30

A game show based on 10 challenges that involve household items. The show features everyday people competing in 60-second challenges with household objects for a shot at a million bucks.

As the money increases, so does the level of difficulty. After winning some money, will contestants stay and play, or take the cash and dash?

Each show offers new twists including celebrity contestants, summer-themed games, challenges using office supplies,  teams of twins, couples, and strangers.

Examples of challenges:

Chocolate unicorn:
Stack 7 Ding Dongs on the forehead.

Tortilla head
Use swim flippers to pick up a tortilla from the floor and flip it up onto a plate balanced on the head.

Sticker picker upper
With one hand holding an upside down pizza tray, contestant rolls an egg onto it to collect four small upside-down stickers.

Dental cap
Wearing a baseball cap, a contestant picks up a toothbrush from a toothbrush holder by hooking the bristles on the cap's brim, and then transports it to another toothbrush holder.

Spare me
Put marbles into one end of a pool noodle, then roll them out the other end to knock over three standing sticks of sidewalk chalk.



Harry's Law
Premiere date: Tuesday, 31 May 2011 at 19h30

Harrys_law

A new legal dramedy series that centres round Harriet Korn, played by Kathy Bates.

Harriet is a once-successful patent attorney who is fired and decides to begin anew with her own practice.

With the help of her happy go lucky secretary, Jenna, she sets up shop in an abandoned shoe store in a rough section of Cincinnati.

Her first case is to defend Malcolm Davies, a troubled young man, facing his third drug offense.

Meanwhile, up and coming attorney Adam Branch joins the firm, and defends Damian Winslow, a "private security officer" after he shoots a man who is attempting to rob a laundromat.

The series is created by David E. Kelley (creator of Ally McBeal and Boston Legal).



M-Net Terrestrial is on M-Net Analogue, channel 7.
