jPod re-airing tonight

A reminder for fans of jPod that the re-airing of 13 episode season one starts tonight at 8PM on the CBC. If the numbers are better this time around, then perhaps the CBC may give the show a second season.

A recap of the premise:

“jPod is a one hour comedic television show that is broadcast on the CBC. It’s based on best-selling author Douglas Coupland’s book of the same name. jPod is a funny, quirky, intelligent show that chronicles the lives of Ethan Jarlewski and his co-workers at the fictional Vancouver-based video games company Neotronic Arts.”

jPod is back! Sort of…

Thanks to Chad and K for passing on this info…

jPod is back! Well, sort of. For those that are unfamiliar with jPod, here is my description of it from one of my previous posts:

“jPod is a one hour comedic television show that is broadcast on the CBC. It’s based on best-selling author Douglas Coupland’s book of the same name. jPod is a funny, quirky, intelligent show that chronicles the lives of Ethan Jarlewski and his co-workers at the fictional Vancouver-based video games company Neotronic Arts.”

The CBC has decided to re-broadcast the first season of jPod, which was unfortunately not renewed for another season. The re-runs start on Thursday June 19 at 8PM. This gives the show a second chance to find a wider audience, and in turn higher ratings because of its better time slot. There may even be the possibility that the show will come back for a second season.
