2 Comments

To celebrate the new fall season, TV, eh? has 5 prize packages to give away to 5 Canadian television fans. Winners will be chosen from a random draw of all eligible entries in each of 3 categories. Tweet, blog, or donate to the Actors’ Fund of Canada to win. Details here.

From Gwen Cook:

I am writing to sing the praises of my favorite Canadian TV show, Flashpoint. From episode 1, I felt that Flashpoint was amazingly well written, directed, and acted. So many of these episodes have touched my heart. My mother has cancer, and we have talked at length about what her wishes are when the time gets near. Last Dance had me grappling with the concept of death with dignity for the terminally ill vs. the letter of the law for assisted suicides. The show Perfect Storm, which is about school bullying, reminded me that as a teacher, I need to be ever so diligent to make sure these kinds of things never happen in my school.

On The Tudors, Durham County, The Border, and more – TV, eh? contest entries

Why yes, I am bribing people to chat up Canadian TV right now. Join the fun and blog, email, or Twitter your thoughts for the chance to win some great prizes, courtesy The Movie Network/Movie Central/HBO Canada, CBC, and TV, eh? Click here for all the details.

Here’s a small sample of what people are saying so far:

Alex Epstein at Complications Ensue:

  • Divorced, Beheaded, Died
    “I really enjoyed the first two seasons of (The Tudors); but not on the CBC. The BBC version clocks in at about 51 minutes, the CBC version had to be edited down to 44 or so. I found the CBC version to be quite choppy, if you’ll pardon the expression, with odd priorities. So I watched Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD.” Read more.
  • This is What I’m Talking About
    “Shows like DURHAM COUNTY are worth making just because they’re fun, scary, creepy detective shows; and if you like the dark, Laurie Finstad and director Adrian Mitchell ladle out darkness enough for any appetite. But, together with FLASHPOINT and CORNER GAS and the other exports, they go a little way towards giving the rest of the world a sense of who we’ve become. And that’s a value in its own right. Okay, Steven Harper?” Read more.

From Groove Kittie:

  • Teeeeeeeeee Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, eh!
    “The Border: OH MAN! Talk about a cliffhanger! I’m a bit anxious about this one being a bit of a Gray/Layla shipper. :S On the upside, my favourite characters (Gray and Slade and Maggie) were untouched by the blast. Hey. I’m trying to keep positive here. *trembles* And just to make things a little bit worse, the premiere isn’t until October 8th. Way to drag out the suspense, CBC. *flail* Evil bastards! October 8, 2009 / CBC” Read more – she talks about Flashpoint, Murdoch Mysteries, and Sanctuary, too.
