In The Family Way

I'M STILL HAUNTED by those crazy Heartland fans demanding more and better horse-coverage...so though it's not really the ballywick of this blog, I will bite and pass along the news that the March 14 premiere of The Latest Buzz, a series about a group of grade-nine students who take the reigns at a struggling teen-oriented magazine, drew a premiere audience of 322 000.

Apparently that, for the channel that is probably best swamped these days for Hannah Montana -- represents the highest premiere numbers for a show in the Family Channel's 20 year history!

Congrats to Decode Entertainment, and everyone else involved! It's like crack and cigarettes -- get 'em hooked on the Cancon young, and who knows?

(please note that I do not endorse the use of either crack, or cigarettes.)

While I didn't watch The Latest Buzz, I do sometimes watch Life With Derek, another Canuck Family Channel show. I admittedly watched every episode of Life With Derek last year and I was embarrassed to tell anyone that until I found out that two different unconnected friends of mine watched the show in secret too. Now I don't care who knows.
