CBC Unveils Fall Schedule With Red Carpet Event – I Get Erin Karpluk Images

CBC announced its fall schedule today, and had a smashing red carpet celebration (I hear tell) in honor of the fact. The even was packed with some of Canada's biggest stars, Erin Karpluk among them, and as you may know, I'm a big fan of Being Erica.

And, since talking with Erin back in September, I've been a pretty big fan of hers as well.

The CBC schedule didn't change all that much, apparently coming off a strong season, but there's an interesting new show coming, Men with Brooms, based on the film. A film I loved, by the way, and who hasn't been waiting for a show about curling?

Of course, the key thing to remember is that Being Erica is returning for its third season, and is hot off several Gemini nominations, and a win for Erin.

I wasn't at the event, but wanted to get the info out about who was there (because you may be able to get more elsewhere... now that you know to look), and I wanted to put out the new schedule.

I may not have been able to attend, but I said, "Get me Erin Karpluk pictures!" Oddly enough, some showed up. Oh yeah, membership has its privileges... or something.

Take a look, and get your own schedule worked out.
