Upcoming TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show: Mary Young Leckie of MVP

For a show that was cancelled in March by CBC, MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives is having a very good year. In April, SOAPnet announced they’d picked up the first season of the show, which is set to air on that American cable network starting June 19. This week, ABC — the broadcast network sibling of SOAPnet — announced the first episode would air immediately following their telecast of the Daytime Emmys on June 20.

Is there still hope for a second season then? I’ll ask that and more of Mary Young Leckie, co-creator and executive producer, on Sunday’s TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show. Listen live at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern (call in with your questions at 646- 200-4063) or catch the podcast afterwards.

In the news: CBC schedule doesn’t deserve scorn

From Alex Strachan of CanWest News Service:

  • My turn on CBC: Double the Jeopardy!, double the entertainment, I say.
    “Could there be a bigger non-story in this country right now than CBC’s decision to air Jeopardy! five nights a week, and hold the one-night-a-week Marketplace back until January. Yes, yes, I know. Chances are, you’ve never heard of Marketplace, let alone watched. Welcome to North American network television in the 21st century.” Read more.

Chris was an active, athletic guy until the high-pressure office job hit. Thus began his rapid decline into a sedentary life of take out meals and an expanding waistline. Now his body is “revolting” – in more ways than one. He has overcome cancer but still relies heavily on over-the-counter medications to make it through the day. Chris knows that while his body is failing him, he is failing his wife and daughter.
