The Best Years cancelled

59 Comments

It may not be official word from the network, but because I get asked so much … lead actress Charity Shea says The Best Years are over:

  • Sad to Say It
    “I now have the official word and regret to inform everyone the show WAS picked up for season 2 scheduled to shot in April 2008, but due to the networks new vision they decided our show doesn’t speak to their new demographic. The Best Years season 2 was canceled before it even started, on December 5th 2007.” Read more.

In the news: Rick Mercer ratings record

Rob Salem of the Toronto Star reports on the latest Rick Mercer Report ratings:

  • Rick Mercer061Hot Box, TV to talk about
    “The silver lining to the looming grey cloud of crap programming is what it could mean for Canada, particularly the CBC’s very promising mid-season lineup of new shows. And even the existing ones … the network happily reports its best-ever ratings yet for last Tuesday’s edition of The Rick Mercer Report, clocking in at an impressive 1,230,000 viewers.” Read more.

Little Mosque on the Prairie

In the news: Christmas comes to Little Mosque

Tim Arsenault of the Halifax Chronicle Herald reviews the holiday episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie:

  • Christmas Little Mosque-style
    “Obviously, most of the main characters in the Little Mosque sitcom don’t celebrate Christmas. The episode — cheekily titled Eid’s a Wonderful Life — revolves around the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha.” Read more.

In the news: CBC denies burying Intelligence

Jeff Keay, head of media relations for CBC, writes for the Tyee (a rebuttal of the interview with Chris Haddock they ran last week):

  • CBC Fires Back at Haddock
    “We’re happy to see Chris remains a passionate supporter of his show, which we happen to think is pretty good. We’re disappointed he feels he’s not being adequately promoted (but at same time doubt there’s a producer in the history of show business who thinks their program HAS been adequately promoted).” Read more.
