Real Housewives of Toronto

[DreamfulSpirit]

They say casting is underway, but has not been given the green light. I thought they said Miami would be it...but I guess not!

Being that I am Canadian (although I grew up here in the US), I think it would be interesting to see the Housewives go north of the border!

It's not connected to Bravo. It is Canadian led.

Oh, ... well maybe there won't be much drama involved then.

I'd rather watch something really out there, like the Real Housewives of Saskatoon or Halifax where people are wearing toques and curling or lobster fishing. Toronto is just so big, however Montreal would be awesome if there were Quebecois being filmed and instead of flipping tables people had poutine fights. If it was to be done again and broadcast in the US, anything in Manitoba, Alberta, or Saskatchewan would be awesome since a lot of people down here are clueless about those provinces. Ditto on awareness of the territories and other places like PEI unless they read Anne of Green Gables.

Ditto to everything.

Sidenote: A poutine fight would be painful.

As a Canadian, I am sorry to tell you that the one thing that Canada does BADLY, is TV. Boooooo

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'd love to see the "Real Housewives of St. John's, Newfoundland"....it sure as hell would not be glamourous but the people are pretty genuine and would probably make for some interesting watching.

I think I'd love "reality" television that is based a little closer to reality. I can't be the only one, with the popularity of shows like Deadliest Catch or Ice Road Truckers, though the drama and editing are in full effect. I'm just less interested in rich bitches being dumb and more interested in people doing every day things and living their lives. For all the alleged glamour the OC Housewives are turning into orange love children of Gollum and Joan Rivers.


Well I like a lot of CBC shows, but broadcast I am less familiar with. Most of the stuff I liked was geared towards kids, Degrassi (old was awesome new is awesome funny bad) You Can't Do That on Television, and the stuff we get on PBS here my nephew watches isn't too bad. Caillou he likes, but the British Make Way for Noddy disturbs me, oh and Dinosaur Train upsets him and makes auntie cranky, but it isn't Canadian.

I'll admit to the cliche of liking Red Green, and Kids in the Hall. Trailer Park Boys was great, Drolefille and I are in agreement on Due South, Moccasin Flats and North of 60 are both poignant and resonate with me since I live between two reservations and work with Alaska Native, Native American, and First Nations people. I've been meaning to get a hold of Little Mosque on the Prairie, I think I'd like it and it may be similar to where I live (rural community) with a Muslim population.

I still do the "I'm crushing your head" bit from Kids in the Hall, and I've entered the Red Green Regatta more than once to support PBS.
