If Anthony is right and you people like a cranky Diane, you’re going to LOVE this podcast. I’d just been stood up by a Dragon and you’ll hear me roar about that.

We have two interviews, though, and I was perfectly nice to our guests. (It helps that they were prerecorded.) First up is Max Morrow, the star of Family Channel’s new Connor Undercover and a music aficionado. The show airs Fridays.

Our other guest is Sheri Elwood, creator of Call Me Fitz – one of my favourite Canadian shows ever, which airs Sundays on HBO Canada.

Mixed in there, Anthony and I chat about the new fall season (yes, including US shows), our thoughts on Lost Girl and Call Me Fitz, and the Murdoch Mysteries sale to China.

Call Me Fitz a (failed) redemption story

From Denise Duguay of the Montreal Gazette:

  • Series debut: Jason Priestley in HBO Canada’s Call Me Fitz
    “But playing shockingly against type is not enough of a trick to sustain even a half-hour comedy so thankfully there’s more to like in Call Me Fitz, although “like” might not be the right word. It’s a redemption story, or maybe just a failed redemption story with dark humour and vigorously drawn characters.” Read more.

New tonight: Call Me Fitz on HBO Canada – series premiere

da010c30-e809-4460-9090-edadb4ea6c6fPremieres Sunday, September 19 at 8 p.m. with two back-to-back episodes

Call Me Fitz stars Jason Priestley as Richard “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, a handsome, substance-abusing used-car salesman who torments his naïve co-workers, sleeps with any woman who has a pulse, and thinks his life is perfect. His sybaritic lifestyle undergoes a radical transformation after a disastrous test-drive puts a potential customer in a coma and unleashes Fitz’s conscience, literally, in the form of Larry, a gentle man intent on rehabilitating Fitz’s battered psyche. Also starring Ernest Grunwald, Peter MacNeill, Kathleen Munroe, Tracy Dawson, Donavon Stinson and Brooke Nevin.
