22 Minutes grabs spotlight despite lack of publicity
From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family – I’ve already embedded the video but he points out the way the chronically unpublicized 22 Minutes has been grabbing attention lately:
- Pinsent, Williams this week on 22 Minutes
“22 Minutes is quietly having a stellar year–despite CBC’s best efforts to kill it. The 16-year-old Canadian comedy showcase hit 925,000 viewers last week, pretty amazing given how little publicity the show receives. That’s like, what, three times what Being Erica gets? At, what, one-third the per episode cost??” Read more.
Interview: Gregory Smith of Rookie Blue
From Melissa Girimonte of The TV Addict:
- Gemini Gems: Gregory Smith Spills on the Possibility of an Ephram/Amy EVERWOOD Reunion on ROOKIE BLUE
“We’d love to make it happen sometime in the future though as it would be a really fun little throwback for fans of EVERWOOD.” Read more.
