TV, eh? podcast episode 48 - Almost Checkmate

Episode 48: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed   

Our guests this week are Ryan and Jason Belleville, the brothers who co-created Almost Heroes, in which Ryan costars with Paul Campbell. Diane chats with them about her surprising love of the show, what it's like to work with your brother and not want to kill him, their sitcom world and characters, and promoting a series with this newfangled Internet thing.

But first, Anthony and Diane react to the reaction to our discussion about the Save Endgame petition. Let's just say that those who were angry with us last week would be livid this week.

We also talk about this week's premieres of Combat Hospital (aka Sexy Doctor War Time) and Rookie Blue, and Bell's announcement that they've optioned the works of three Canadian authors we've never heard of.

We end, as always, it seems, with a discussion of the CRTC hearings, where they seek to tame vertical integration and figure out what to do about those scary smart phones and tablets. Or something.

TV, eh? podcast episode 47 – What Tangled Web Series We Weave

Episode 47: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed   

The podcast ends with a terrific discussion about web series between writer/producers Kellie Ann Benz (also of The Shorts Report), Jill Golick (Ruby Skye PI) and Nicholas Humphries (Riese). Diane does her best to stay out of the way.

First, Anthony and Diane discuss the upcoming CBC schedule, including Doyle’s take on it as ignoring the arts to become glorified karaoke, as well as Movie Central/Movie Network’s production slate. We admire, sort of, the quixotic campaign to save Endgame, and don’t admire the way the same “news” has been coming out of the Banff Media Festival for years.
