No rants this week (mostly), just civil discussion about Kirstine Stewart’s surprise move from CBC to Twitter, Murdoch Mysteries and Dragons’ Den topping the Canadian series ratings, CTV’s Satisfaction starting production with the blandest possible media release, Continuum launching a Vine-based fan engagement initiative that Diane likes (Anthony, not as much), another bad reality show idea pitched via the media, opinion pieces on how Canadian TV’s not so bad – and in fact produces excellence – and Kate Taylor’s article on the Bomb Girls’ cancellation that (gasp) goes beyond the media release.

Beverage update: Talking Rain coconut pineapple sparkling water, Barefoot sweet red wine, David’s Tea mint chocolate rooibos, and a shot of McDonald’s mango pineapple smoothie.

The Writers Guild of Canada announced their award winners (but I bet they didn’t use a kazoo when they did), Bomb Girls is cancelled, Package Deal gets a premiere date, Big Brother Canada breaks records, the Canadian Screen Awards are looking for a nickname, the Canadian TV funding model is blamed for a lack of hit shows, Murdoch Mysteries and Degrassi are on a top 50 list, Rachel looks into the transmedia-ing of Canadian TV, and Diane rants about how Canadian networks can get Canadian audiences to watch Canadian TV (hint: it’s not the audience who’s the problem).

Diane and Anthony talk about the male leads of Bitten, the premiere of Panic Button, the addition of Alfre Woodard to the cast of Copper, the September season 2 premiere of Highway thru Hell, the Canada Does Not Exist trope, the Canadian specialty channels‘ lack of specialness, and what the Arctic Air season finale says about (shudder) transmedia.
