CANWEST’S NEW DRAMA PILOT ‘THE DEALERSHIP’ SIGNS TRICIA HELFER, WILLIAM DEVANE & PATRICK J. ADAMS
Canwest’s Original Canadian Series pilot THE DEALERSHIP has signed on Tricia Helfer and William Devane, along with up and comer Patrick J. Adams to star in the new one-hour pilot about love, larceny and luxury used cars. In addition, Fremantle Media Enterprises (FME), a division of FremantleMedia, has signed on as worldwide distributor of THE DEALERSHIP.
The pilot, which was announced by Canwest in November, will star Helfer (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, BURN NOTICE) in the lead role of Rachel Carson. Rachel is the beautiful, tough as nails sales manager who runs Carson Luxury Auto Gallery, a civic institution started by her irascible father Frank, played by Devane (JESSE STONE, WHAT ABOUT BRIAN). Rachel spent the last decade waiting for her father to retire, cementing her defacto control of the dealership and holding off the banks. Now that the car industry in North America is in the grip of recession, Rachel is fighting to keep the place alive with the help (or in spite of) her unreliable younger brother played by Patrick J. Adams (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, OLD SCHOOL). When Frank un-retires and tries to help, things go from bad to worse.

10 p.m. ET/PT – THE JON DORE TELEVISION SHOW “Jon Saves the Planetâ€
After burning his garbage outside his apartment, Jon is warned by Larry, the Creepy Janitor that Jon’s lifestyle is helping to destroy the planet. To find out how to save the planet from people like him, Jon visits an eco-friendly farm where he learns that animals do not start out on Styrofoam plates, wrapped in plastic. Though Jon fails spectacularly as an environmentalist, he teaches us that a little knowledge is a truly dangerous thing, and that pissing yourself in front of an audience isn’t funny when it’s happening to you.
