Anthony and Diane talk about all the news in the Canadian TV world this week – um, that the entire Durham County series is on iTunes as of August 1 – and then get into discussions about other TV-related topics:

• Will the Geminis matter this year? No. But who knows, maybe next year?
• Want to go to a live taping in Toronto? Here’s a list.
• Why should Canadian media care more about Canadian shows than the Canadian networks who own them do? (And should we let foreigncompetition in?)
• Are the spoiler police spoiling television?
• And Canada leads the scifi invasion.

TV, eh? podcast episode 52 - "A Whale of a Summer"

Episode 52: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed    

Diane and Anthony interview CBC Radio 3's Brent Hodge, the producer/director of the Said The Whale documentary Winning America, which airs on CBC Saturday, July 23 ... only in BC, it turns out. So Vancouverite Diane gets to rub that in Hamiltonian Anthony's face. But we chat about filming the band and their adventures in getting robbed in California, performing at SXSW, and winning the Juno.

We also discuss Shaw's new Movie Club (supposedly their answer to Netflix), Rookie Blue's renewal for season 3, The Firm adding Juliette Lewis and Callum Keith Rennie to the cast, Blackstone starting production on season 2 and offering an autograph signing and audition contest, the Family Cook Off casting call, and Emmy CanCon.

TV, eh? podcast episode 51 - "The Papillon Effect"

Episode 51: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed  

There's 2 big interviews this week: Diane talks to David Paetkau of Flashpoint, and Anthony chats with former Kid in the Hall Kevin McDonald of Bite TV's Papillon.

In between, there's some news about Lost Girl getting 22 episodes this season, Being Human shooting season two, and Flashpoint's ratings.

Plus, the CRTC is delaying CBC's license hearing which can't be good news. And some Canadians are going to be CBC-less after the digital transition.

There's also 2 giveaways:

1. Comment on this post for a chance to win an Expedition Impossible tshirt provided by CTV.
2. Get the most Rts for @tv_eh on Twitter this week for a chance to win a CBC Radio 3 CD.

TV, eh? podcast episode 50 - Marco and Wild's First Fight

Episode 50: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed  

Canada Sings premieres August 10 on Global, and contestant Erin Raimondo -- team captain for 1-800-GOT-JUNK -- joins us for an interview, in which she doesn't tell Diane who won the competition. Dammit.

But first, Anthony and Diane ramble and fight about various topics, including Flashpoint returning Friday and The Yard (aka "Kiddie Sopranos") premiering Friday, Haven coming back July 18 (check out Anthony's interview with Emily Rose here), rumours of Russell Crowe visiting Republic of Doyle while he's folk festing with another Doyle, Diane wondering just how Canadian the writing staff of Combat Hospital is, and the idea of Google buying Hulu and possibly entering the Canadian market causing Canadian broadcasters to quake ... more than usual, that is.

Also? Our second fight will be about the order of our last names in this podcast title.
