Sanctuary

In the news: Sanctuary returning

From Jon Stephens of Giant Killer Squid:

  • Sanctuary set to return to Sci-Fi (SyFy) this Fall!
    “I was fortunate enough to catch every episode of the first season, mostly on tivo. The series was immensely entertaining. Basically, it was a mix between a crime drama and a fairy tale/myth. Each week sent the team on a hunt for some new creature to either give protection and a new home to, or to confine the creature to keep the public safe.” Read more.

Flashpoint, Rookie Blue, The Listener

In the news: More on Canadian TV in the US, including The Listener

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Canadian TV writers take themselves too seriously
    “The Listener (CTV, NBC, 10 p.m.) continues. It drew more than one million viewers in Canada last week, and although it got some negative reviews in the U.S., it’s certainly worth seeing as another example of a Canadian-made show that’s been picked up by an American network. I don’t care for it at all, but to each his own. And Toronna does look gorgeous in it.” Read more.
