Under the plan, Fox International Channels will launch “The Listener” during the first week of March, with the series debuting on NBC and Canada’s CTV later in the year.” Read more.

From Raju Mudhar of the Toronto Star:

  • Better late than never
    “Concepts such as time travel and telepathy aren’t such a stretch for TV audiences these days, as genre television series have come to dominate prime time. With tonight’s debut of CBC’s Being Erica (time travel) and the upcoming The Listener (telepathy) on CTV, Canadian productions are finally tapping into the trend. But is it too little, too late?” Read more.

Being Erica, The Listener

In the news: Being Erica, The Listener show promise

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Television: A time of promise, needed more than ever
    “CBC is banking on Being Erica (starts Jan. 5), a charming drama, being a hit. It stars Erin Karpluk, familiar to fans of Godiva’s, as thirtysomething Erica Strange. Erica is a relentless underachiever who’s feeling lost. Then she gets a chance to change her past life, thanks to mercurial therapist Dr. Tom (Michael Riley), who seems to be able to send her back in time. The first episode is wonderful. CTV has The Listener, which has already been sold to NBC (starts in March, probably) and, while rumours about the show’s direction abound, it certainly opens strongly.” Read more.
