Thirteen episodes begin in January. Created by and starring comic Ron James as an 18th century hero of sorts. Real acts, from Barenaked Ladies to Bryan Adams, expected to make guest appearances as themselves, Larry Sanders-style. Based on a hit Australian concept, the docu-soap will trace the selection, creation and development of a new hit pop group. There will also be a U.S. version of the concept, called Making the Band.
Producers say it qualifies under the rules as Canadian content.
Cameron Bancroft and Ingrid Kavelaars star in this romantic adventure about a woman and an alien visitor. From Fireworks Entertainment. No slot on the fall schedule yet, but this live-action adventure is based on the graphic novel of the same name. Lauren Davis, Steven Harper and Fyvush Finkel star. Bebe Neuwirth co-stars.
