ReplyDeleteI love Arctic Air! Someone needs to air it for the US.
ReplyDeleteGreat news. Many of these are quality shows. I am really enjoying Cracked, Republic of Doyle and Arctic Air this year.
ReplyDeleteYESSSSS! I am so excited that Republic of Doyle was renewed and has an extended season!!! Love that Heartland and Cracked was renewed too. :D
ReplyDeleteI read this as CBS so was very confused when I didn't recognize a single show. I thought 21 was too many for cbs
ReplyDeleteIsn't 21 a lot for any network,lol..
ReplyDeleteYay! Murdoch a full 18!
ReplyDeleteThat is Canada for you!
ReplyDeleteThat is not related to CBS CBC is the Canadian Broadcast Company. Similar to the BBC and our PBS.
ReplyDeleteThey are all Canadian productions.
ReplyDeleteHm, thanks for the info, I thought CBC was the Canadian broadcaster for CBS. It explains why I've never heard from any of the shows though.
ReplyDeleteNothing interesting for me... I've tried Arctic Air once and it was awful.
