Want to see a fun video?

Of course you do!

Hi everyone! A quick unscheduled Monday post. When Amber and Graham were in Toronto a few weeks ago they stopped by the CBC Live lounge and my friend Jamey tested them on how well they know each other. Check out the video...

Sunday, October 23 - Season 5's fifth NEW Episode!

WELL!!! There sure were a lot of great comments following last week's chuckwagon episode, both in here and on Facebook.

This week's all new episode is a good companion piece to last week's, as Amy has to deal with Sandra --played by guest star Kate Ross-- a former trick rider who loves her horse (Chaplin) but something just isn't right between them, and so she brings Chaplin to Heartland to ask Amy to re-home him.

Sunday, October 16 - Season 5's fourth NEW Episode!

Well, now that the NHL and CBC have welcomed back the Winnipeg Jets we can settle down and get on with the serious business of bringing you another brand new adventure in the Heartland saga, as this Sunday, October 16, Episode 504 - "Beyond Hell's Half Mile," written by Ken Craw and directed by Grant Harvey - premieres on CBC Television at 7:00pm (7:30pm in Newfoundland)!

No New Heartland this Sunday, but 3 new episodes starting next week!

So here we are, taking our first break this Sunday (October 9) from broadcasting a new episode of Heartland.

As I explained on the Facebook Page yesterday, "Hockey Night in Canada" is going to broadcast the first home game of the new Winnipeg Jets - a clash with the Montreal Canadiens - on Sunday, October 9 across the entire CBC Network, and although in the Pacific and Mountain Time zones the game may be over by 7:00pm, new episodes of Heartland are never broadcast unless all of Canada can watch them at 7:00pm (7:30pm in Newfoundland!) on a Sunday evening.

In a way the producers and everyone involved with Heartland are not that concerned with there being no new episode in three days, because that is also the Sunday before Thanksgiving in Canada, and a new episode has aired every Thanksgiving Sunday for the first 4 seasons, and the viewing audience was WAY down from the numbers the regular episodes received. So in some ways it's a good thing!

Now, instead of a new episode, viewers in BC (and possibly in Alberta) will get to watch a rerun of episode 305 - Glory Days.Those great photos of Amy and Jack in this post are from that episode.

Why Glory Days you ask? A good question. Is there something in that episode that is a foreshadowing of something still ahead in Season 5? Another good question, to which my answer is... maybe... ! (Heh heh) Read on...
