Rookie Blue

Rookie Blue returns May 21 to Global

From a media release:

Global announces premiere of Rookie Blue Season 6

Global fights winter blues by packing plenty of heat with the world premiere of homegrown hit Rookie Blue starting May 21 – 9 pm ET/PT. Season 5 ended with two bombs being dropped on the officers of 15 Division – the explosion in the evidence room, and the revelation that Sam’s ex-girlfriend Marlo is pregnant with Sam’s baby. Season 6 promises to take the raucous rollercoaster ride to new heights with nail-biting storylines, curveballs abound and a heavy dose of romance and heartbreak.

ROOKIE BLUE, SEASON 6 – Thursday, May 21 at 9 pm ET/PT
Last season the officers at 15 Division unearthed their sins of the past – dug through it, aired it out, and paved the way to move forward. They have all grown and are more resilient than ever. This season, they will have to learn to embrace living in the gray areas, because life is complicated and the best laid plans are just that. But sometimes it’s the unpredictable things life throws our way that turn out to be exactly what we need. Season 5 saw an average weekly audience of 1.5M (2+), growing seven percent (2+) and nine percent (A18-49) over Season 4.

The latest Canadian entry is the finely made Emergency which premieres Thursday April 16 at 9.

From Kerrie-Ann Bernard of the Hamilton Spectator:

CanCon is up Schitt’s Creek without a paddle
CBC’s latest prime-time offering, Schitt’s Creek is the embodiment of all that is wrong with current Canadian content regulations (commonly referred to as CanCon regulations). While the show is technically Canadian, starring as it does two of Canada’s most iconic comedians (Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara), the program conscientiously avoids having any identifiably Canadian characteristics. In an attempt to woo international program sales and generate much-needed income for the CBC, Schitt’s Creek has eschewed Canadianness for blandness. Continue reading.
