New tonight: Call Me Fitz

Call Me Fitz, HBO Canada – “And Baby Makes … Fuck! Part 1”
Larry gets Fitz thrown into jail in an ill-thought-out attempt to repair his relationship with Ken. But once he’s locked up, Fitz discovers he isn’t the top dog he thought he’d be. Ken is. In fact, there’s only one thing standing between Fitz and survival – control of the prison’s supply of sugary cereal. Lucky for Fitz, Josh (who’s gotten himself arrested to keep from killing the Ruptals) has a line on a fresh supply. Meanwhile, Meghan tries to blackmail a labouring Ali into giving her free legal advice.

Motive aims to be a whydunit instead of whodunit

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • Motive turns the police-procedural on its ear
    The set of Motive, CTV’s new police procedural that’s filmed on a studio lot in Burnaby, B.C., looks in many ways like a typical police-station set. There’s the bullpen, full of detectives’ desks, next to the sergeant’s office. There’s the break room, and the interrogation room and the conference room. But the lighting is bright and the space airy, and in the front lobby there’s a big wall covered with assorted greenery. It has a Vancouver feel to it, which makes sense since the show is set, purposefully and plainly, in Vancouver. Read more.
