Speaking of summer show replacements for CI, I forgot that CTV acquired the Top Model franchise.
Deadline for casting applications was a couple of weeks ago.
Filming will probably start sometime in Spring.
Canada's Next Top Model 3 will most likely premiere in the early summer.

Dear Tara Spencer-Nairn,

Hey girlfriend! It's me, suckshardcore! Your biggest fan! You probably remember me from the contest that I won! Or almost won, teehee. I was SOOO excited to meet you that I accidentally...

Karen and Davis, the cops are funny.

I almost won a competition to get to interview the actress who plays Karen. You had to submit 10 questions you would ask her and I guess my questions were good b/c I was one of the finalists. I was nervous on the phone interview when they called me though so I guess that's why I lost. That would have been fun though. You got to go in like a limo and get styled and hang out with her and interview her for a day.

The funny thing is that the commercials make me laugh too. The rest of the cast seems good for laughs (especially the cops), but if I ever sit down and watch the show, it's just...not funny. I tend to not really enjoy Canadian comedies in general, though.

Exactly, which is why I included imo. Obviously you don't like it.

I think the ensemble cast is really good and funny.

I have 4 seasons on DVD, I just need the last two.

They're good to sit down and watch a bunch of episodes at a time if you're just looking for something funny.

There was a marathon on Comedy Network the other day and I watched all day, lots of new episodes I haven't seen yet.

RB you should check it out...

I've never seen one single episode of Corner Gas but from the commercials they show from time to time, it made me laugh.

You'd be surprised that there's actually a devoted American fanbase for this show. I guess the heartland states like Kansas and Iowa can relate.

Bolded, italicized and underlined the important part of that sentence. I have always hated Corner Gas, because:

Saskatchewan sucks.

Corner Gas is over after this season, so no.

With that said Corner Gas is actually really funny imo.

As long as it's not Corner Gas, I'm just fine.

I read in the Montreal Gazette that one of the sponsers is GM, and this is one of three major auto makers that to have a Canadian Bailout. And no other sponser has the money to foot the CI bill.

Plus they have to pay the Mariah's that come to the show. It does make sense it's just that other people blame rating and lack of sales/success for the winners all the time. I highly doubt CI cares about anything else but the ratings. But that being said the ratings weren't as good as they have been but they were still decent. The show claims to be taking a break so we'll see a year from now if we get a season 7. I doubt the economy will be better but by then hopefully...

Exactly. For a sitcom you have a set and pay actors, writers and crew. With Idol and shit you've got all that plus all kinds of extras, music clearances, the band, guest artists and then of course they pay for the living costs of the contestants. Plus you have the pay the judges and the host which I imagine costs a pretty penny too. With a regular show the actors go home and it's their dime. I would imagine one of the biggest costs of Idol is the housing, food, transportation etc...

The music rights alone would be a good chunk of money for both shows (Idol and SYTYCD). Just look at how AI got so upset with Daddy Archuletta when he insisted his son put a line from another song into the one he was singing, and they were forced to pay for using that one line.

Well their reason was the current economic climate and it would stand to reason that these types of shows are very expensive to produce.

They moved the thread to the past seasons section. Just scroll down.

There is a rumour going around that SYTYCDC might not come back either. The rating were really good for that too. So maybe they're actually telling us the truth why the show's on hiatus.
