  1. We finally learned which shows would follow Baroness this fall. Seemed like Mr. D should have been in that timeslot. Also seems like CBC should be showing more Canadian comedies than having to resort to British comedies, especially on Tuesdays.

    1. I am most excited about Frankie Drake mysteries and Murdoch mysteries. Would love to see X Company again

      1. I am most excited about Frankie Drake mysteries and Murdoch mysteries. Would love to see X Company again .

        And yes, looking forward to Heartland which was not on your list

  2. Our long national nightmare is over– Murdoch Mysteries and Frankie Drake are coming back soon (but not soon enough). I can’t wait!

  3. Interesting that Still Standing will be on in the Fall, rather than the summer. I enjoy watching it. I am most excited about Murdoch, Dragon’s Den, and This Hour has 22 Minutes.

  4. I’m surprised The Fifth Estate is moved to Sunday nights. I’m not sure if I will continue watching Dragons’ Den because I’m not familiar with the 2 new dragons. We’ll see how the 2 new fare.

  5. I’ve been impatiently waiting for the start of Anne with an E. I watch it with my daughter along with Heartland which is delayed till midseason.

  6. Murdoch Mysteries is my favourite of all on all networks. Absolutely marvellous show!

  7. Love Murdoch and Frankie Drake mysteries.
    Hope they keep going for a long long time
    Also saw that PURE might get a second go at some point – thought it had potential so hopefully it gets another chance.
    And of course HNIC – what would a Saturday be without that!
    I also like Marketplace when I get time to watch the recordings

  8. I only wish that CBC had not cancelled “The Goods.” It was an entertaining show. I used to record it every day.

  9. I can not tell a lie I have three shows that I’m so excited to have back and they are Murdock mysteries, Frankie Drake and Still Standing.

  10. I love Murdoch Mysteries and Still Standing. I also watch Anne with an e. I’m sorry, but I hate Mr. D. He would never make it as a real teacher.

  11. Murdoch Mysteries followed by Still Standing are my favourite shows. Like lost, I can hardly wait for the shows to begin. Both are so different and excellent in their own right. I hope they will never be cancelled. Great Canadian shows and amazing actors!
