In the news: Robson Arms back

From Bill Harris of Sun Media, an interview with Robson Arms star John Cassini:

  • Flaky Robson Arms is back
    “John Cassini is the Mary Tyler Moore of Robson Arms. ‘I never thought of it as Mary Tyler Moore, but, uh … sure,’ said Cassini, who plays a superintendent named Yuri in Robson Arms. The half-hour situation comedy, set in a Vancouver apartment building, makes its second-season debut tonight at 9.”

In the news: Robson Arms review

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Robson Arms reaches for a high bar
    “The initial series of half-hour episodes involved a little comedy and a little drama. Set in an apartment building in Vancouver, each of the 13 episodes dealt with the tenants of one apartment, while some key characters — especially superintendent Yuri (John Cassini) — floated through every episode. As the stories evolved, overlapped and grew, there was nuance and poignancy intricately mixed with the comedy.”

In the news: Robson Arms returns

From Dana Gee of the Vancouver Province:

  • New slot lets us heed call to Arms: Better scheduling bodes well for quirky comedy
    “I think we’ve taken a huge leap forward,” says [creator Susin] Nielsen. “I was really proud of Season 1, but this season is even better. You know the characters better. The actors know the characters better. It has all come together.”
  • Stars come out to play for show’s new season
    “Others in guest spots include the likes of SCTV alum Joe Flaherty, musicians Jann Arden and Colin James, Corner Gas star Nancy Robertson, former MP Svend Robinson and Patrick McKenna of Red Green fame. Even local media types, like Terry David Mulligan and the daytime talk-show duo of Fiona Forbes and Michael Eckford, get a bit of camera time.”

From Now Magazine:

  • Neilsen rates (see 3rd item)
    “Leslie Nielsen moves into the Robson Arms apartment complex for its second season.”
