Award-Winning Series Marks ION’s First Venture Into Original Programming
What you don‟t know about your neighbors could kill you. That’s just everyday reality in “Durham County,” the new original scripted prime time series premiering this Fall to U.S. audiences on ION Television. “Durham County” is an eerie combination of suspense and family drama that marks the first original prime time series to premiere on ION Television. The show will bow to U.S. audiences in early September.
Produced by Muse Entertainment and Back Alley Films, the Award-Winning “Durham County” series follows the troubled world of Homicide Detective Mike Sweeney (Hugh Dillon, CBS‟ “Flashpoint”) who moves his family to quiet suburbia for a fresh start after his partner is killed and his wife Audrey (Hélène Joy) is diagnosed with breast cancer. While Durham County seems like the perfect place to begin again, Sweeney soon discovers that his neighbor Ray Prager (Justin Louis) may be a serial killer. What’s more, Prager is not just a random stranger – he is Sweeney’s arch high school nemesis. As events unfold and young women begin disappearing, an intense showdown develops between the two complex men and their families.

Not sure what Total Drama Island is? Then you must not have a tween. Because almost every kid I know anywhere near that age watches “TDI”. When the complete DVD set arrived at our house…chaos ensued. There was a marathon of “TDI” watching going on, phone calls being made. Then, other peoples kids started arriving to watch. Popcorn was everywhere. The funny thing was that everyone of the kids refer to it as “TDI” and you would have thought some of the cast was their real friends the way they talk about them.
Total Drama Island is about a group of contestants that are placed in a remote location, with cameras filming their every move. Every couple of days, the loosing team must vote out one of their own. The last one remaining takes home an enormous cash prize. The contestants compete in a series of challenges, sometimes for a reward, and sometimes for immunity from getting voted out. The competition is overseen by a host, who often announces changes or alterations to the rules as the game goes on…or as a whim hits him. That’s the premise of Total Drama Island, with a summer camp filling in for the remote location. Only this isn’t a reality show like Survivor. It’s an animated spoof of such shows, one that is so spot on, you might forget it’s a cartoon.
The complete Total Drama Island DVD set features nearly 600 minutes of episodes. That is all 27 episodes of non-stop action along with bonus features including cast interviews and an alternate ending.
Total Drama Island can be seen on Cartoon Network.
