About all I do now is channel surf... a while back I came across one of those bog-standard police dramas on USA, and instantly recognized the Toronto waterfront. But from the way the pan shots were edited it was clear they were desperate NOT to let the CN tower be shown - they didn't want it to be TOO obvious it wasn't an American city

I love Lie To Me (it's only a week behind the US here in the UK) but I cannot dislike any episodes with Cal's daughter in. I can't stand her character.

Yes, in fact when Flashpoint first started it wasn't at all clear that it was set in Canada rather than the USA. It was only about halfway through the first season that maple leaves and such like started showing up...

Or a TTC streetcar. There was quite a bit of filming on the U of T campus when I was there. Maybe your daughter noticed the same thing. There's a disused subway station (lower Bay) that has been used for filming a number of times as well.

Re: Tele
If you know Toronto you could tell right away. Also Canadian productions have a totally different 'feel' about them.

Re: Tele
Yes she did...several films have been filmed there.
It's not unusual to see filming going on downtown. A few months ago we saw a NYC cop car crashed on the sidewalk...complete with NYC looking hydrants.

Well, it's time.
After Time Warner took away 2 of the only 3 film channels that we watched (the last one right in the middle of us watching a film), and after the woman on the phone let it slip that the other one will disappear soon too, we will be dumping cable when I get back from my trip to Blighty. I can't wait!
We'll probably use the money we save within a couple of months to buy a Wii to stream Netflix, and catch up with the rest online.
We've been talking about it for years, and now that "The Shield" and "24" are done, there's nothing appealing about paying outrageous amounts of money for a load of shit channels with unbearable adverts
YAY

Re: Tele
I never really got into that series...gave up after the first couple of episodes. It was probably because there were so many other series starting at the same time and I can't keep up with watching all of them. From what you've said though I'll give it another try...thanks.
It's also pretty good in that it doesn't really matter to much if you miss an episode or watch out of sequence as there really isn't a very deep back story to follow along, each are pretty much closed off episodes. Saying that, the last couple of episodes have started to go a little bit into the background of the main character, why he is the way he is, but I don't think it'll matter if you just catch the repeats and any from this new series.

Haven
Anyone catch that? It's supposed to be based off of a Stephen King novel with a bit of a X-Files factor, based up in Maine, where all things weird happen.
