"The Contender," the once-hyped reality show that was basically "Big Brother" for boxers, was always itself something of a contender -- it had the goods to be a champ (such as the involvement of Sylvester Stallone and reality-TV guru Mark Burnett) but never quite made it.

Q: I've recently been watching episodes of "Heartland" and noticing that a number of people can also be found in Hallmark movies. Can you tell me what the connection is between "Heartland" and Hallmark?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

The connection is Canada.

"Heartland" wears its location on its sleeve, so to speak -- the story is set in the sprawling Alberta countryside, where the filming takes place. However, a number of films and shows produced by Hallmark are secretly Canadian as well -- they either dress up a Canadian location to stand in for an American one or else they just make a point of not mentioning the setting at all.
