Everything about Arctic Air, eh?

Arctic Air, Dragons' Den, Mr. D, Republic of Doyle

Winter launch better than “any in recorded history at the CBC”

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • All-Canadian programming pays off for CBC
    The CBC launched several new series in January. None have flopped. Some of the new series, the drama Arctic Air and the comedy Mr. D in particular, have repeatedly flirted with the one-million-viewers mark. Returning shows such as Republic of Doyle and Dragons’ Den have also pulled in strong ratings. The sum of all these parts, Stewart says, is “a better launch than any in recorded history at the CBC.” Read more.

Alicia’s video with Rick may not be the career-booster he promised, Connor’s acting coach makes his first appearance and Nick and Abby are going through dumpsters. What the heck goes on in LA?

Saw Dogs, OLN – “Monster Wine”
Steve envisions an enormous wine tasting bar for an exclusive winery with a lake monster motif, but the team goes against his wishes and adds an extra head. To make matters worse, guest carvers Paul Frenette and Pete Ryan can’t seem to get on the same page with the design. The carving team struggles to resolve a host of stylistic issues as they try to complete the commission.

Pascale HuttonHIGHRES

From Lorne Eckersley of the Creston Valley Advance:

  • Creston’s Pascale Hutton starring in CBC series, Part 1
