Everything about Rookie Blue, eh?

Interview: Missy Peregrym of Rookie Blue

From Nur Aqidah Azizi of The New Straits Times (Malaysia):

  • Missy’s ready for the next big thing
    “I’ve had to cross the border quite a few times between the United States and Canada in the last few months. The officers ask me what’s happening with one of the characters on the show, and they’re really into the storylines. They continually tell me that they always get together to watch the show.” Read more.

  • Rookie Blue EP Tassie Cameron Talks About Series Success, The Cast, and Previews Season Two
    “Getting strong ratings always feels great — those Friday mornings when the numbers rolled in were pretty damn exciting this summer. And while it’s always a bit of alchemy — a bit of lightning in a bottle — I think the trick is to think up a show that you yourself would want to watch, and then fight like hell to get the very best writers, cast and crew to work on it. With any luck, this is just the beginning of a brave new wave of Canadian shows that become hits outside Canada — there’s so much talent in this country that deserves to be recognized.” Read more.

I do not have a crush on Jason Priestley. I do, however, have a giant crush on his upcoming show Call Me Fitz. I interviewed him about his days as a teen idol, playing the anti-Brandon Walsh, and about what I’m calling one of my favourite Canadian shows of all time. Yes, before it’s aired.

Anthony rants a bit on Bell buying CTV and the use of tax money and incentives to fund Canadian TV – though his objections aren’t for the usual reasons.

I force Anthony to discuss the recently announced Battle of the Blades casting and we mention Rookie Blue‘s ratings success – it’s the most watched new Canadian series in two decades.
