Everything about Heartland, eh?

Call Me Fitz, Heartland

New tonight: Call Me Fitz, Heartland, Over The Rainbow

Call Me Fitz, HBO Canada – season premiere
In the new season, after his beloved Summer Wind lounge is forced to close by City Hall, Fitz sees only one option: take over City Hall. With Larry (Ernie Grunwald) and Dot Foxley (Amy Sloan) running his campaign, Fitz is hell bent on forcing himself into office, any way he can. Before he can win the election he has to get by Melody Gray (guest star Gabrielle Miller), the city’s hardnosed on-the-street reporter and in her mind the most important journalist in news. Melody is not only determined to ruin Fitz’s political aspirations but has a long standing feud with Dot. It’s City Hall or bust on this season of Call Me Fitz.

Michelle Morgan grows up on Heartland

Over The Rainbow will kick-off with a one-hour documentary that follows the cross-Canada audition process down to the choice of 10 potential Dorothys by the judges and Andrew Lloyd Webber himself.

Heartland, CBC - Running Against the Wind
Amy is bursting to ask Ty about the engagement ring, and why he hasn’t proposed yet, but a couple of “runaways” throw everything at Heartland into turmoil.

Mansbridge One on One, CBC – Guest Rick Mercer
There’s not much he hasn’t done to get a laugh. But he’s not just funny, his humour often has a message and it can be biting. Rick Mercer begins yet another season of his television show this week, but he also has a new book celebrating his famous rants. Lots to talk about with our guest this week, Rick Mercer.
