Toronto -- John Ralston, Ingrid Kavelaars and Colin Cunningham are to top-line the Canadian pay TV sitcom "Living In Your Car," executive produced and directed by David Steinberg ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") for indie producer The Nightingale Co.

At CinemaSpy we get screeners of early episodes of new television series to review. It's particularly satisfying when you get through a batch and want to see more of a show. So it was with The Line, a 15-episode Canadian-made cop drama that is currently airing on The Movie Network, Movie Central and HBO Canada.
The Line is essentially a soap opera that focuses on two dysfunctional detectives, Max (Ron White) and Donny (Daniel Kash), and the people whose lives they touch. Both men have messed-up love lives and their complicated personal relationships interweave with other elements of The Line's plot to produce a tangled, ongoing story that is atypical of conventional police procedural shows.
Max lives with his wife Karen (Yanna McIntosh) but their relationship is crumbling under the weight of their ethnic differences. Hence, he regularly has sex with burned-out legal aid lawyer Jayne Huxley (Sharon Lawrence...

TORONTO -- Canadian premium pay TV channels the Movie Network and Movie Central on Thursday raised their order for The Weight from eight to 16 episodes, even before the Canadian drama debuts on air.
Toronto-based producer the Nightingale Co. said the pay TV channels doubled their order for the cop drama from the writing duo of George F. Walker and Dani Romain based on dailies from the first season, which started production in August.
"Here we are, in production for only two months, and we feel truly validated by the networks' decision to commit to a second season" of eight episodes, series producer Debbie Nightgale said.
The Canadian pay TV series stars Ron White (Screamers) and Daniel Kash (Cinderella Man) as two cops as damaged and morally ambiguous as the criminals they pursue.
The first season of The Weight is slated to bow on the Movie Network and Movie Central in fall 2008.
The cast for the Canadian series is rounded out by Sharon Lawrence, Linda Hamilton, Edward Asner and Cle Bennett.
