“Everyone always wants to talk about 'True Blood' and 'Battlestar Galactica' - no one's even interested in 'Durham County.' It blew my mind when I came to Canada and no one asked me about the show. So many people didn't even know about it. They didn't even know it was on the air! It's very curious to me.” PeopleKnowsWantMindShowsAirBloodCuriousCanadaCountyDurhamBattlestar Galactica Author:Michelle Forbes

“When I do watch shows, or projects that I've been a part of, I'm pretty good at watching them objectively.
