Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I love the title of this! Fans of SCTV may like that it stars Eugene Levy & Catherine O'Hara. I think they're a good combination to bring the funny, hopefully the scripts will facilitate this. For some reason, I jumped to the conclusion that TVGN would veer toward reality shows but I'm glad they are doing the unexpected and investing in a scripted series. Even though I don't even subscribe to cable, I hope the series is entertaining (I also hope they work out a deal for a secondary run on Netflix or Hulu when the season is over). http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/eugene-levy-catherine-ohara-to-star-in-first-scripted-series-on-cabler-pop-1201335072/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm really looking forward to Schitt's Creek, but TVGN, which is soon to be rebranded POP, didn't commission the show, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation commissioned it and TVGN bought the American rights to it at MIPCOM a few weeks ago.

Members YRBB Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Uuuum, am I missing something? Because this seems like it has the potential to be constantly thought of as "Sh!t's" Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 That's the point of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 LOL! They actually want that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah they do! The premise of the show is a rich family goes broke and the only asset they're left with is a town they once bought as a joke, the town of Schitt's Creek.

Members SFK Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Wow, I am really looking forward to this. The Christopher Guest films are my absolute favorites, Levy and O'Hara are sure to be brilliant. Up Schitt's Creek without a paddle, as the old saying goes...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 So what you're saying is there is a chance for it to stream on Netflix then? Thanks for posting the trailer, I never even thought to look for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 22, 2014 Members Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hard to say about Netflix, CBC doesn't usually air it's shows online outside the CBC site and I don't know what POP's plans are. But maybe Netflix UK will do it if it doesn't get sold to a network? This is the proper trailer!

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2014 Great Trailer, very funny! I just recently watched an Australian miniseries produced by ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) on Netflix so I wouldn't rule out the possibilities. I also read Netflix is going to start carrying series from other countries. More from France. A lot of agreements can be worked out and it is lucrative for these nations' production companies once the show has had its seasonal run on broadcast TV. The BBC does this , Canal+ is beginning to do this and I forsee other broadcasters following suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
