Ratings: CBC this week

From Denis McGrath at Dead Things on Sticks, with info on Being Erica, Sophie, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Wild Roses, The Week The Women Went:

  • The Week The CBC Went
    “In the battle of the CBC newbies, it’s status quo. Being Erica on Monday did 632 000 viewers, down a little from the week before but still up from the premiere. What’s more promising is that just under half of those viewers are in the magic 18-49 demo. Sophie had a better-than-season average night at 385 000 just before it, which means that Erica builds substantially on its lead in.” Read more.

In the news: Michelle Harrison of Wild Roses

From Julie Crawford of North Shore News:

  • Two worlds collide in CBC’s Wild Roses
    “Michelle Harrison, who plays ranchwoman Kate in the current TV series Wild Roses, takes her homework seriously. Because her character spends a good chunk of her screen time on horseback, and Harrison was adamant that a stunt double wasn’t going to do her work for her, she threw herself into the saddle with gusto. ‘I didn’t ride very well, I do now, I think,’ says the actress.” Read more.

In the news: Wild Roses doesn’t impress Calgarians

From Jeremy Klaszus of ffwd:

  • Mechanical bulls and Home on the Range
    “When you hear CBC-TV is airing a new drama set in Calgary, you hope it’s a good show. The Ceeb describes Wild Roses as a ‘Shakespearean’ story about two families that clash over ‘land, love and loyalty.’ That description makes you a tad suspicious. Then you see the full-page newspaper advertisement for the show: ‘Oil. Greed. Betrayal. Lust. Welcome to the new west.’ And you think: uh oh. This is going to be bad.” Read more.

In the news: Paul Christie of Wild Roses

From Amanda Hu of the University of Calgary Gauntlet:

  • Drama utilizes Calgary’s best aspects
    “Sex, Shakespearean archetypes and big oil are meeting up in a new series on the CBC premiering Jan. 6. Filmed in Calgary, Wild Roses revamps a classic tale: two high-class families are feuding for ultimate power, making for a dramatic mix of emotions and domineering. After finishing the first season, one of the show’s actors, Paul Christie, reflects on some of the hurdles the creative team faced in Roses’ creation.” Read more.
