In the news: Canadian TV explained to Americans

From John Doyle, normally of the Globe and Mail but here writing for TV Quarterly:

  • What makes Canadian TV so different?
    “Little Mosque on the Prairie made the American media curious because it has a comic premise that’s outrageous in the context of mainstream U.S. network TV — it finds comedy in the lives of a group of Muslims living in a small prairie town where many of the locals are suspicious of them.”

In the news: Vancouver mayor guests on Robson Arms

From the Vancouver Sun:

  • Colour film industry green, Sullivan says
    “As part of the script, [Sam] Sullivan had to wheel on set to appear for a photo shoot requested by a character named Sault (played by Alisen Down) who is a high-strung public relations rep launching a marketing gig. The mayor’s lines consisted of ‘Hi everyone, are we really shooting this today?’ and ‘I hear it is supposed to be nice tomorrow.'”
