If there is going to be a "new" tired, unoriginal, stereotyping reality show set in a city, Edmonton is not the city to do it in. Is this the Edmonton you know and love? :
"Edmonton, Alberta, Canada…it’s a city ‘split in 2’ by the North Saskatchewan River – a divide that’s as much cultural as it is geographical....In the vein of Jersey Shore and Big Brother, NORTHSIDERS is a wild, racy, and unpredictable ‘social experiment’, as we throw a group of bona-fide ‘northsiders’ into a run-down house, make them live together for 13 weeks, and see if anyone survives with any dignity intact..."
What mostly disturbs me is that the North Saskatchewan river is portrayed as a divider, when in fact, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is a city HELD together by it. Edmonton is a culturally and ethnically diverse mosaic of passionate citizens that come together, rather than apart, when faced with a challenge.
Let www.starnow.ca know that they can make a show like this somewhere else. If you have more information about the network behind StarNow, or anything else that can help to stop (or change the direction) of the show, please share it here.

Dont come here with your jersey shore wannabe crap. edmonton deserves better than being used for cheap ratings.
Gross. So tired of these shows ruining people's reputations for views. Leave Edmonton alone.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Who approved this???
Are you kidding me? We have enough problems without some trashy reality show making us look like idiots to the rest of the country. Keep this garbage out of our city.
Total joke. The river connects us if anything. Whoever came up with this clearly has never lived here.

I grew up on the north side and it is nothing like they are trying to sell. This is just insulting.
