From Jaime J. Weinman of Macleans:

No little synagogue on the prairie: A new Canadian comedy series goes out of its way to emphasize that it’s not a ‘Jewish’ show
“‘This is not a show about a Jewish family,’ says Marvin Kaye, creator of the new series Less Than Kind. ‘It is about a family that happens to be Jewish.’ The comedy, premiering on Citytv on Oct. 13, about a Jewish teenager (Jesse Camacho) living in Winnipeg, was conceived by Kaye and co-creator Chris Sheasgreen as a show in the vein of Arrested Development, with Camacho as a smart but shy kid perpetually embarrassed by his dysfunctional family.” Read more.

From Mike McPhaden at Running With My Eyes Closed:

Under the Gun: An interview with Flashpoint’s Creators – Part 1
“Flashpoint, CTV’s new procedural about a tactical police unit handling Toronto’s most extreme incidents, hit the bull’s-eye with audiences this summer. As the ratings continue to rise, CTV and U.S. broadcaster CBS announced plans to bring the show back for a second season. It’s great news for viewers and a good omen to TV makers north of the border, but nobody is celebrating as much as the show’s creators, Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern.” Read more.
