In the news: Canada’s ‘bargain-basement’ exports

From Stephanie Earp of TV Squad:

  • Canada Makes Bargain-Basement Shows
    “Half-hearted denials aside, we know it’s true, don’t we? We know the only way networks like CBS (‘The Bridge’, ‘Flashpoint’), NBC (‘The Listener’) and ABC (‘Rookie Blue’) would agree to co-finance a show for their airwaves is if the setting was generic enough to pass for a U.S. locale. They’ve got the best of both worlds – if the show is good, they can send out press releases about what wonderful new programming they are creating with their Canadian partners, but if the show is bad, they can shrug their shoulders and say they had nothing to do with the creative, they were just the bank.” Read more.

In the news: Enrico Colantoni spills beans on Flashpoint costar Hugh Dillon

From Alex Strachan of Canwest:

  • Hugh Dillon works well with others, according to Rico Colantoni
    “Enrico “Rico” Colantoni looks virtually unrecognizable on this summer evening from his Flashpoint character, Toronto SRU squad commander Sgt. Greg Parker. Colantoni is sporting a full beard and porkpie hat. He couldn’t look less Hollywood, or Hollywood North, if he tried. And yet, he fits right in with the eclectic Southern California crowd that has gathered at The Tent, a makeshift party-ground in Beverly Hills where the stars, producers and program executives of CBS, Showtime and The CW’s TV series have gathered to celebrate the night and sing the praises of the upcoming fall TV season.” Read more.
