From Eric Volmers of the Calgary Herald:

  • Million dollar man: Calgary financial expert stars in reality show on Oprah’s network
    When telling the story about how he landed co-hosting duties on OWN’s new reality show, Million Dollar Neighbourhood, Calgary financial expert Bruce Sellery sounds appropriately melodramatic. It is, after all, among the first homegrown shows to be broadcast on the Canadian arm of the new network overseen by media queen Oprah Winfrey, the leading purveyor of tearsoaked stories that involve unexpected triumph.

New tonight: Million Dollar Neighbourhood series premiere on OWN Canada

million

Set in Aldergrove, British Columbia, Million Dollar Neighbourhood is an unprecedented social experiment in which 100 families have only 10 weeks to raise their collective net worth by $1 million. It’s a challenge to rethink the way we earn, spend and save money. In the face of crushing debt, massive credit card bills, rocketing housing costs and out-of-control spending, the families step out of their comfort zones to tackle their financial problems together. The one-hour series is co-hosted by financial expert Bruce Sellery and clinical psychologist Dr. Joti Samra, who help the Aldergove neighbours address their personal problems with tough love and uncompromising directness.

In each episode, neighbours take on a community challenge and an individual challenge. To reach the community’s million dollar goal, every family must see an average $1,000 net worth increase each week. They will need to dig deep, downsize, earn, barter, share, swap, scrimp, save and collaborate with their neighbours in ways they never could have imagined, and if all one hundred families in this community can do it, they will truly become a Million Dollar Neighbourhood. To raise the stakes even higher, if the community makes their $1 million goal, they’ll choose one family to win the life-changing sum of $100,000. Produced by Force Four Entertainment Inc. in association with OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network (Canada), Million Dollar Neighbourhood premieres Sunday, January 22 at 8 p.m. and repeats at 11 p.m.

New tonight: Lost Girl on Showcase

Lost Girl stars supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk; Being Erica, Billable Hours), a tough yet loveable Succubus who survives by feeding off sexual energy. She discovers she is one of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore who live among humans. Bo refuses to choose an allegiance to either the Dark or Light Fae clans, as she embarks on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin. Season two finds Bo struggling to stay free and questioning her morals and beliefs; all the while an ancient evil force grows more powerful and threatens the very existence of the Fae. As Bo grows more confident and struggles to learn who she really is, her once strong relationships are put to the test, new passions are ignited and as always, answers will not come easily. Aaron Ashmore continues his five-episode guest star arc.
