9 p.m. – SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA – NEW TWO-HOUR EPISODE
It’s the last stop during the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA audition tour as Canadians have one more shot to prove they are the best dancers during the Montreal auditions. Judges Jean Marc Genereux, Tré Armstrong and Luther Brown are joined by guest judge Mia Michaels.
From a media release:
Jason Priestley stars as an unsavoury car salesman with a conscience in Call Me Fitz, a new Canadian original comedy on HBO Canada
Some men are born sleazy, some achieve sleaziness, and then there’s Richard “Fitz” Fitzpatrick. Call Me Fitz, starring Jason Priestley as Richard “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, is a biting, dark comedy about a morally bankrupt yet charismatic used-car salesman who is forced to become business partners with his inner conscience. The series premieres Sunday, September 19 at 8 p.m. ET/MT with back-to-back episodes on HBO Canada, a multiplex channel of Corus Entertainment’s Movie Central (Western Canada) and Astral’s The Movie Network (Eastern Canada).

It’s a ranty podcast with Anthony Marco and I appalled at CBC’s 3D documentary on the Queen and accompanying distribution of 3D glasses and John Doyle’s fabulous tear on Stursberg’s departure: “The CBC is a bizarre institution, a rats’ nest of ego, bickering, backstabbing, rumour and sour dislike of anyone who either has power inside CBC, or anyone or anything that isn’t part of the CBC.â€Â
A clip of The Kids in the Hall talking about downloading their own show from bittorrent leads to even more CBC bashing. We even disparage a show neither one of us has seen yet: So You Think You Can Dance Canada.
And then I lay into the Canadian TV publicity machine for omitting mention of writers while listing directors and production executives, and the Writers Guild of Canada for letting it happen.
And stick around for a great chat with funny, opinionated TV writer/producer Adam Barken (Flashpoint, Rookie Blue, Shattered), one of Playback‘s “10 to Watch” and an observer of the State of the Canadian TV Industry. He also talks about the art and science of writing for TV, and how “they’re making it up as they go along” is actually a compliment.
