ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE TENTH EDITION OF "THE BEAU ZONE" ON THE HARD ROCK HEROES WEBSITE FROM JUNE 2007 TO MARCH 2008.
I wrote this a while ago, so I better get this in before the now-cancelled Falcon Beach leaves our minds: Isn't it ironic that my home town of Winnipeg, that the world seems to revolve around, can be mentioned on Jan. 7's Desperate Housewives on ABC and Jan. 11's 30 Rock on NBC, but when those of you who are Americans watch Falcon Beach where the characters are going to see Matt Mays, instead of saying they're going to Winnipeg to see him, you probably saw them say the name of some New Hampshire town. That's because everything is Americanized for the U.S. version of Falcon Beach on ABC Family. Well, I'm here to tell you boys and girls that the fictional resort town of Falcon Beach is really supposed to be set in the Grand Beach area of Manitoba, Canada, one hour north of Winnipeg. So when the characters need to come to the city for anything, that city is Winnipeg. All Canadian references are reshot by the production company and the cast to replace them with American references for the U.S. version. Europe gets the proper Canadian version, too. So I wonder if, when Paige and Jason went to Winnipeg to see Matt Mays, Orson's first wife was also at that show? Think she'd like Matt Mays?
