Vintage Toronto TV show openings

From BlogTO:

  • The top 10 vintage Toronto TV show openings
    Vintage Toronto locations in film get a lot of appreciation; in TV, not so much. Could it be that so many TV shows, like films, have used and abused our gritty city settings to front as New York, Chicago, Boston or anywhere else USA? Or is it, more likely, that no broadcasters air these programs anymore and outside of YouTube they have no televisual legacy? Either way, here are openings (a dying art in its self) to a few classic and/or forgotten TV shows which were not afraid to be loud and proud about where they were set. Read more.

Uncharted’s Nolan North and Claudia Black guest star on Haven

From a media release:

SHOWCASE’S HAVEN GOES INTO UNCHARTED TERRITORY WITH GUEST STARS

  • UNCHARTED VOICE STARS NOLAN NORTH AND CLAUDIA BLACK JOIN EMILY ROSE IN MULTIPLE SEASON THREE EPISODES

Nolan North and Claudia Black, stars of the critically acclaimed Uncharted video game franchise, will join their Uncharted co-star Emily Rose on Showcase’s popular series Haven as guest stars during the show’s third season. Together, the trio provide the voices of the action-adventure video games’ lead character, treasure hunter Nathan Drake (North) and his globe-trotting companions Elena Fischer (Rose) and Chloe Frazer (Black).

On Haven, Nolan North will play the role of Anderson in Haven’s eleventh episode this season. Though charismatic, witty, confident and independent, Anderson awakes one day with memory loss, only to discover that everyone in Haven has fallen into a mysterious sleep.

In the series’ two part episode “Magic Hour,” Claudia Black will play the role of Moira, a beauty whose bitterness may make her capable of murder.

Season three of Haven picks up immediately following the events of the gripping season two finale with Audrey having been brutally kidnapped; Nathan (Lucas Bryant) warned against pursuing a romantic relationship with Audrey; and Duke (Eric Balfour) seemingly engaged in a fight to the death with Nathan after he discovers his family lineage is to kill Haven citizens with troubles.

Haven, based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King, follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker, who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets, which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.

From leading independent studio Entertainment One (eOne), Haven is co-commissioned by Shaw Media in Canada and globally via Universal Networks International (UNI).

The creative team behind Haven includes executive producers John Morayniss (The Firm, Hell on Wheels) from eOne Television and David MacLeod (Legends of the Fall, The Ray Bradbury Theater) of Big Motion Pictures, who are joined by Lloyd Segan, Shawn Piller, Scott Shepherd (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone, Greek) of Piller/Segan/Shepherd and Matt McGuinness (Journeyman, Dark Blue) as well as Sam Ernst & Jim Dunn (Stephen King’s The Dead Zone), who also developed the series.

Haven is produced by Entertainment One and Big Motion Pictures in association with Piller/Segan/Shepherd and airs on Showcase in Canada, Syfy in the U.S., and internationally on Universal Networks International’s channels. Entertainment One controls the worldwide distribution rights to the one-hour series and concluded a deal with Germany’s Tele München Group (TMG) for the television rights in Continental Europe.
