Sanctuary

In the news: Vancouver a hotspot for sci fi, including Sanctuary

From Katherine Monk of the Vancouver Sun:

  • Sci-fi show finds Sanctuary in Vancouver
    “Sanctuary producer/cocreator Damian Kindler said Vancouver is a friendly place to produce fantasy-oriented content thanks to the city’s deep reservoir of digital facilities and code-savvy talent, but setting up camp on the wet coast does have its downsides. ‘We don’t exist to Toronto,’ said Kindler, taking time out of his crazy schedule to explain the strange game of Canadian cultural hide and seek.” Read more.

In the news: Perils of hiatus for Dan for Mayor and Hiccups

From Jaime Weinman of Maclean’s magazine:

  • The Perils of Hiatus
    “The shows have turned into kind of an interesting case history of what can help and hurt a new show in its quest to find viewers. CTV promoted these shows very heavily to begin with, and it paid off with high ratings for the first part of the season. Then the network had to decide whether to keep the shows on in May, putting them up against the very tough U.S. competition, or bring them back after the sweeps period. They chose the latter; they even delayed their return longer than originally intended so these shows wouldn’t be competing against widely-watched sports events. But as Bill Brioux noted, Hiccups and Dan finally came back a couple of weeks ago with a tremendous drop in viewership.” Read more.

Rookie Blue

Interview: Gregory Smith of Rookie Blue

From Adam Wright of TV Done Wright:

  • Gregory Smith Talks Rookie Blue, Filming in Toronto, and Grey’s Anatomy Comparison
    “Dov has wanted to be a cop his entire life. The moment you meet him is the moment he has been waiting for his entire life. Literally. He has probably rehearsed the look on his face in the mirror a thousand times before his first day of work. But when you anticipate something so much, life usually has a funny way of messing with your expectations, no exception.” Read more.
