Big Brother: After Dark
CBS is offering an exciting new addition to their Big Brother coverage this season. One of their sister networks, ShoToo (which is an offshoot of Showtime), will air three hours of the live feeds from inside the Big Brother house. Called “Big Brother: After Dark,” the show will cover some of the action that’s going on live between 9pm and midnight Big Brother time (PDT). That means for those of us on EDT, the show will air between midnight and 3am. This is usually a very active block of time on the feeds, especially if the houseguests have been given alcohol.
Since ShoToo regularly features some adult-themed material, the feeds will be uncensored for profanity and nudity. According to Variety, slanderous conversations and singing will still be filtered to avoid copyright infringement. Anyone who’s had the feeds before knows that BB theme music and a camera shot of a fish tank, flames, or even the front of the house have appeared whenever the houseguests start talking about people they know outside the house, or if they break out into song.
The Variety article also confirms that House Calls is indeed coming back, and Gretchen Massey will host. No official word yet on the co-host setup, however. It may end up being a revolving set of co-hosts for Gretchen, much like last season.

How do you get ShoToo? Is it a premium channel you have to order like Showtime?
The After Dark show sounds a heck of a lot more entertaining than the regular broadcasts

Yep, it’s a premium channel so it’ll cost extra, but it’s widely available so if you really want it, you should be able to order it.

Okay, how do we get ShoToo in Canada? Somehow I don’t think we can… so any word on if any Canadian network will offer After Dark?

So far Shannon I haven’t been able to find it available here, but we do get Showtime in certain cable and satellite packages so there may be hope yet. I’ll update if I can find any information.
