The Canadian Screen Awards Red Carpet

The Canadian Screen Awards were last weekend, and Sue and I had a great time catching up with friends, and new folk alike. Below is the collection of interviews we garnered on the red carpet. Check it out!

Reelies 2016 – Winners!

  Here it is, folks! The long-awaited announcement of the 2016 Reelie award winners! As you may have noticed during the voting rounds, we did things a little bit differently this year. For one thing, we focused only on Canadian television, rather than television and film. As well, there was only one round of voting…

REELIES 2016 – Favourite Actor in a Series

Canadian TV is really coming into its own, especially in recent years, and as such, we have a powerhouse line-up of actors available to duke it out and be pronounced as your favourite!  There were so many possibilities, actually, that we had to narrow the list down a bit just to make it more manageable!…

The Canadian Screen Awards 2016: The Mind Reels on the Red Carpet

  Sue and I were absolutely delighted this year, when we were notified by Touchwood PR (an amazing group of smart and dedicated people who continue to help us be the best we can be) that not only would we be attending the Canadian Screen Award Galas, and Broadcast, but that we would have a…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E10 – Murdoch In Ragtime

  After it’s mid-winter break, Murdoch Mysteries returned this week with a script by Carol Hay, and direction by Harvey Crossland. It seems there’s a bit of a new musical craze sneaking its way into Toronto despite the efforts of those who would fight to keep our souls pure, like Miss Hamilton (Helen Johns). The…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E09 – A Midnight Train to Kingston

  This week’s episode of Murdoch Mysteries ventures into darker territory, at least as far as this season so far is concerned. Micheal Seater returns as the devious and nefarious James Gillies in a tense piece scripted by Peter Mitchell and Paul Aitken. Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) Crabtree (Jonny Harris), Ogden (Helene Joy)…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E08 – Republic of Murdoch

  Showrunner Peter Mitchell co-wrote tonight’s episode with Paul Aitken and it saw a bit of a crossover between two of Canada’s most successful mystery programs, and saw the naming of Newfoundland (not New FOUND land) rum as Screech, the creation of scrabble, and gave George Crabtree (Jonny Harris) a chance to shine as the…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E07 – Loch Ness Murdoch

  Michelle Ricco penned this week’s enjoyable episode of Murdoch Mysteries (wait til you see her interview with us on Smithee.TV!). It takes one of the subjects I`ve always been fascinated, cryptozoology, specifically, lake monsters. There have long been rumors of monsters inhabiting not only Canadian lakes, but lakes around the world, the most famous…

Murdoch Mysteries S07E04 & S07E05

  Sometimes the days just get away from me, and I fall behind on the things I need to watch because things get so busy, so I was quite happy to settle in and catch up on the most recent episodes of the wonderfully entertaining Murdoch Mysteries! First up is Murdoch of the Living Dead….

The Mind Reels Visits Murdoch Mysteries

  It was a sweltering July day, the 15th to be exact, when Sue and I disembarked from our bus in what felt like the middle of nowhere. And even then there was a walk through more nowhere, and down an unsuspecting road, until we stumbled ont our destination for the day. From the front, this rather…
