In the news: Canadian Idol not as popular in major cities

1 Comment

Alex Strachan of CanWest Media does a little more than reprint the CTV media release:

  • ‘Idol’ producer lashes out at voters
    “In a recent interview with CanWest News, Idol judge Jake Gold suggested that Toronto is not alone: The major centres rarely do well in Idol voting. Gold noted that Vancouver and Montreal have also been traditionally under-represented on Idol’s national stage. Gold hypothesized that there are more cultural distractions in Canada’s big cities than in regional areas.”

In the news: Degrassi creator interview

Damian Holbrook of TV Guide interviews Linda Schuyler of Degrassi (the details refer to the American airing of the show):

  • Preview! Degrassi: The Next Generation Makes a Bold Move
    “Now, Degrassi as a series is still about first-time experiences and we were intrigued by the idea of a young person who has always been the alpha dog in high school and what happens when they get to [college] and you don’t have that throne anymore.”

In the news: Best Years reviews

1 Comment

These are reviews about the American premiere, about the show currently airing on Global:

David Bianculli of the NY Daily News:

  • Class struggle in ‘Best Years’
    “”Degrassi” head writer Aaron Martin is the creator of “The Best Years,” and establishes his new, college-age series with a scattershot approach that would earn different grades. For starters, he gets an A for casting Charity Shea as Samantha. She’s a fresh-faced young actress who, like Anne Hathaway in “The Devil Wears Prada,” exudes vulnerability, confidence and casual beauty.”

Robert Philpot of the Star-Telegram:

  • ‘The Best Years’ has the smarts for college
    “With Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls no longer doing first-run episodes, there’s a dearth of series about college. The Best Years, the first series on The N to move into higher education, tries to change that. It doesn’t have Veronica’s smarts or Gilmore’s wit, but it’s a watchable genre entry nonetheless.”
