Toronto - After the very surprising success of the Summer Concert Series, UPN will be capitalizing off of that by moving up the scheduled summer originals to Sunday. Starting at 7pm we'll have back to back reality half-hours with two shows that will focus on the early stages of dream jobs. At 7pm we have Life as a Cheerleader in the UFL then at 7:30pm we have The Diary of an Upcoming UPN Actor leading into an hour of new original scripted sitcoms. Our version of Friends at 8pm called Toronto's Friends will lead things off into the girlfriend sitcom Soul Sisters at 8:30pm. Probably our biggest show of the summer The Next Great Entertainer at 9pm to warm up the night for our Idol like franchise The Carpenters. Then our first scripted drama Northern California to wrap up the night. Northern California will produce a spin-off called Bradleys vs. Van Horns this fall. Sundays are heating up on UPN.
