Yay! I love Sarah Carter and didn’t know she was in town…I may actually watch the news now to find the clips or even ET Canada…do they show anything besides Paris, Anna Nicole and David Hasselhoff though?

[…] While many assume the biggest surprise from yesterday’s Global TV UpFront was Adrian Pasdar’s beard (Did his character really blow up in HEROES May finale?

Yes Colin, Global’s got some good stuff coming up, and E! looks like a great rebrand for CH.

Funny you mentioned the ACTRA demonstration. I was quite surprised to arrive at Massey Hall only to find a large group of protesters outside the venue. I took a lot of photos, and will definitely be posting about the issue of Canadian content soon. Off the top of my head, while I sympathize with the plight of the working Canadian actor… I’m pretty sure their protest are in vain. Canadian content, be it drama or comedy simply can’t compete in terms of quality, production values and budget in comparison to all the American shows coming from the big five. If I were a Canadian network, why on earth would I bother spending millions on Canadian shows that will generally be ignored by the media and the public when I can pick and choose the best shows each year that American networks have spent millions to create and even more millions to market?

Global’s got some good shows coming up, and a whole lot more of them too, taking some from CH to make room for the new E! shows. They need to step it up since they lost the NFL and Without a Trace to CTV.

What do you figure about that ACTRA demonstration I heard about?
