Flashpoint, Heartland and Sanctuary on the long run

From Cheryl Binning of Canadian Screenwriter:

  • Going long: taking the show into multiple seasons
    She talks to the showrunner Mark Ellis, Stephanie Morgenstern, Heather Conkie and Damian Kindler about how they’ve taken their shows into the long game – how they have expanded the world of their show to build room for more stories without diluting the concept or core that is the basis of the show’s success in the first place.

In a Very Special Episode, Anthony and Diane meet for the first time in person and record the podcast on the Vancouver seawall, where an informative (possibly drunk) passer-by provided our title.

Anthony has a great interview with Martin Wood, Executive Producer of Sanctuary, about the web-to-TV model among other things.

IMG 3570But first, we talk about the big news that Hiccups and Dan For Mayor finally have return dates: May 30 and June respectively. Plus CTV’s summer schedule includes Flashpoint, So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and the mother network airing of The Borgias, and Almost Heroes and Single White Spenny are coming to Showcase on June 5.

While being distracted by floatplanes and pretty mountains, we discuss how social media is going to save live TV (or not), how Canada watches a surprising amount of online video, and that Crackle, like Netflix in the US, is getting into the original scripted series business.

    With CBS bringing back the reliable “Flashpoint” earlier than anticipated on Friday nights – filling in for the low-rated CIA dramedy “Chaos” – star Enrico Colantoni says he’s feeling “Like any excited player that’s just ready to get out there. We’ve always done well on Friday nights for them, and I’m grateful they haven’t forgotten. And to continue the baseball metaphor, now I just want to hit it out of the park.” Read more.

Flashpoint’s Enrico Colantoni on Flashpoint’s US return

From Jay Bobbin of Zap2It:

  • ‘Flashpoint’s’ Enrico Colantoni: ‘We appreciate it when CBS can utilize us‘
    ABC’s soon-to-return “Rookie Blue” and upcoming “Combat Hospital” also are results of the increase in American-Canadian series co-productions. “We’re very, very proud of that,” Colantoni says of the role “Flashpoint” has played in opening that door. “It was serendipitous that things were going on in the U.S. like the writers strike.” Read more.
