Everything about Being Erica, eh?

In the news: Erin Karpluk on Being Erica at the TCA tour

From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

  • Erin Karpluk having a ‘blast’ Being Erica
    “I’ve only been here for 24 hours, and so I haven’t had a chance to get that much feedback,” Karpluk said, looking visibly relaxed. “But the little I have, it’s been the same. The feedback is that the premise is very relatable. Regardless of your age, your race, your gender, wherever you’re at, I think that everyone can identify with (revisiting) the past, and that makes it universal in a way. So, while it is Canadian, it’s doing well internationally. I think it’s been picked up in something like 30 countries abroad. So, I’m blown away. I had no idea that it would be like this when we did the pilot.” Read more.

In the news: The decade in TV

From Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press:

  • Variety, cable, single-camera sitcoms mark decade of flux and creative risks
    “TV rediscovered variety, premium cable transformed the serial drama, and sitcoms overtly broke the fourth wall in the 2000s as the small screen shifted into new territory in a bid to keep eyeballs glued to the tube. Meanwhile, audiences splintered as they embraced an increasing number of specialty and pay channels, PVR viewing and on-demand entertainment, raising the bar for all shows seeking viewer loyalty.” Read more.
