What’s Up, Warthogs begins season 2 production

From a media release:

PRODUCTION BEGINS FOR SEASON TWO OF FAMILY CHANNEL’S
WHAT’S UP, WARTHOGS!

Aircraft Pictures and Dolphin Entertainment began principal photography today in Toronto on season two of What’s Up, Warthogs!, a 20 x 22 minute live-action tween sitcom for Family Channel and Disney XD.

What’s Up, Warthogs! follows arch-rivals Eric (Tiago Abreu) and Victoria (Karissa Lee Staples) as they begrudgingly team up to save the on-air announcements at West Hills High from returning to the “boringpalooza” show of the past. Add Eric’s off beat, camera shy, best friend Charlie (Ed Witzke) and twelve–year-old genius, Laney (Ana Golja), plus the help of guest reporters and user-generated content, and West Hill soon has a show that truly puts the students in charge. Together, the crew shares adventures, laughs and the unlikeliest of friendship as they create an awesome show that becomes a bright spot during the monotony of high school.

Camelot coming to CBC

From Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press:

  • CBC-TV fantasy ‘Camelot’ seeks Canadian audience after being cancelled in US

Nevertheless, specialty channel Starz said in June it would not order more episodes. Read more.

7:30 p.m. – DAN FOR MAYOR – “Porktoberfest” – SEASON FINALE
Dan (Fred Ewaniuck) is about to open the annual Porktoberfest by taking a bite of the Golden Bratwurst – a task made difficult by his vegetarian status. Jeff (Paul Bates) is confused by Dan’s seemingly bi-dietary lifestyle. After a radio spot, Wessegonians start to question their own dietary choices, leaving a lot of uneaten pork in Wessex. Meanwhile, Mike (Ben Ayres) takes his role of Hambassador so seriously it has him donning lederhosen and eating more than his share of pork products.

8:30 p.m. – HICCUPS – “’Wake the Baby” – SEASON FINALE
After attending the funeral for her mentor, Millie (Nancy Robertson) decides she doesn’t want to miss what could be the best day of her life, so she plans a living funeral for herself. Crystal (Emily Perkins) and her boyfriend struggle with adjusting to parenthood so Stan (Brent Butt) offers to help but becomes more of a babysitter than a life coach.
