I’m not going to lie. When I heard I was going to be interviewing this guy who plays Connor Heath on Family Channel’s show – about double agents and president’s daughters and triple crosses – Connor Undercover, I was expecting him to be Bieber-esque. I mean, this, obviously, in the best way possible.

Now it’s all about Phineas & Ferb, The Suite Life on Deck, iCarly and I’m in the Band. And to be honest, that’s fine with me because they are shows that are not only geared for younger viewers, but manage to placate adults as well. Another show that will be added to her favourites is How to Be Indie, which centres on a 13-year-old girl as she balances the traditions of her South Asian family along with the everyday quirks of being a teenager.

Our Hero was one of those shows critics used the words “fresh,” “smart,” and “innovative” to describe. In
contrast to what most often depicts life as a teenager, it does indeed stand head and shoulders above
anything else that’s been on the air before and since.

This new CBC teen comedy, revolves around 17-yearold Kale Stiglic (Cara Pifko), a high school student who publishes a zine based on her own life. An energetic blend of live action and animation, it calls to mind both Malcolm in the Middle and Fox’s old Parker Lewis Can’t Lose show.

Watch this show, if you have any sense at all. Because it airs at 7:30 p.m. it isn’t on every single CBC station and it isn’t getting the attention it deserves. It deserves viewers because it’s in the estimable CBC tradition of smart teen shows.
