In the news: Robson Arms coming this fall

Sean Davidson of Playback reports on Robson Arms’ fall return:

  • Robson Arms returning in fall
    “Robson debuted in the summer of 2005 and returned earlier this year to the net’s Saturday night lineup, where it held its ground against CBC powerhouse Hockey Night in Canada, drawing between 300,000 and 400,000 viewers per episode. Its move to Monday puts it up against the second halves of Intelligence on CBC, the Global hit Heroes and the untested E! drama K-Ville.”

In the news: Fans don’t heed Canadian Idol producer’s rant

Bill Brioux of the Canadian Press dissects the aftermath of Idol producer John Brunton chiding fans for eliminating Toronto contestants:

  • ‘Idol’ producer fed up with T.O.
    “Brunton’s complaint flies in the face of the first law of television: the audience is always right. It also exposes “Canadian Idol” to a more troubling – if not exactly shocking – charge: even the producers see the show as more of a regional popularity contest than a true talent search.”
