In the news: jPod’s tangled web

Steve Tilly of the Toronto Sun writes about the various web activities around jPod:

  • CBC tangled in web
    “Launching tomorrow will be the Neotronic Arts website (neotronicarts.com), based on the fictional, Electronic Arts-style video game developer featured in the book and series. Also going live tomorrow is the jPod Lounge (jpodlounge.com), a 3-D virtual space featuring goodies such as video introductions to the characters.” Read more.

In the news: Alan Thicke of jPod

Joshua Ostroff from Eye Weekly interviews Alan Thicke. Like the informative but not-so-creative headline says:

  • Interview: Alan Thicke
    “CBC’s new Douglas Coupland-produced series jPod might be youth-centric, but its breakout star is none other than Alan Thicke — yes, that Alan Thicke — who returns to the mother corp where he began his career as a writer back in the 1960s. We chat to the former Dr. Seaver about grow-ops and sitcom theme songs, with supporting commentary from jPod star David Kopp.” Read more.

In the news: Steph Song of jPod

Guy Dixon of the Globe and Mail interviews the jPod actress:

  • Give her a role she can really sink her background into
    “Steph Song was once voted the world’s sexiest woman of 2006 by the readers of the Asian edition of the lad magazine FHM, for which she posed for a few cover shots in bikinis or wisps of camisoles. It was an image detour from her workaday acting background in Asia and the smart, if sexy image she’s now cultivating in Canada – most recently as a playfully edgy digital-effects artist burdened by the expectations of her Chinese parents in the CBC Television series jPod, premiering tomorrow.” Read more.

In the news: CBC’s sexy new shows

Gayle MacDonald of the Globe and Mail

  • This is not your mother’s CBC
    “This week, the public broadcaster unveils a slew of new shows – including the prime-time soap opera MVP, which focuses on the off-ice antics of hunky hockey players and their bored, bodacious wives, who flash more boob and bottom than ever before seen on our once-staid public broadcaster. With such bold dramas as The Border and jPod, and the single-mom sitcom Sophie rounding out the list of new CBC offerings, it would seem [Richard] Stursberg has made good on his word.” Read more.

In the news: Canadian shows may benefit from strike

From Andrew Ryan of the Globe and Mail:

  • U.S. strike may deliver Canadian TV homeruns
    “The bill for the U.S. TV writers’ strike finally arrived. In this country, we’ll barely feel the pinch. Viewers will experience some changes in the weeks ahead, but any reduction in service will seem less pronounced on Canadian screens, where the winter forecast includes both frantic U.S.-network strike programming and worthy homegrown programs. Think of it as having the best of both worlds.” Read more.

Plus, Andrew Ryan takes questions live online Monday.
