CONGRATULATIONS TO HEARTLAND, the Girls and Horses family drama on CBC, which was renewed for a third season yesterday. It joins THE BORDER as CBC's first series pickups for next year. It's nice to see CBC back servicing that 7pm family hour on Sundays, which they used to own.
CTV, of course, has already renewed FLASHPOINT for season two. (If you're willing to do some reading-between-the-lines, Bill Brioux has a hilarious account of a very awkward conference call promoting the show. Ahh. Canada. Loveya.)
It's also picked up the cop series THE BRIDGE. Waiting to hear on the fate of the Brett Butt-produced comedy HICCUPS, Butt's follow up to Corner Gas.
Global has yet to make any announcements on those pilots, and there are other projects in contention at CBC. Half hours.
But the big news may just be a back-from-the-dead series that looks to be getting a second life -- even with its Canadian component still up in the air! Hmmm.
See, so though snow may be falling from the sky, it's just possible that the sky might not be falling with it. We'll see.

I know! Of all shows to come back from the dead. No doubt it will ramp up the soapy elements, and the camp factor.
Any news about Less Than Kind? Please tell me Less Than Kind has been renewed.
Less Than Kind was renewed before the first eps aired. Kooky Citytv
