The casts of MR. D,  LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE and REDEMPTION, INC. will be live tweeting throughout tonight's new episodes of CBC-TV's Monday night lineup starting at 8 p.m.(8:30 NT). 

MR. D star Gerry Dee and his fellow cast members will be offering comments, responding to viewers' Tweets and sharing some laughs about tonight's special episode which features a cameo from hockey superstar Mike Cammalleri of the Calgary Flames. Got a question about the Show? The cast? Teaching? Just include #mrd in your tweet and join the conversation. MR. D airs at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT).  A huge ratings success since its debut in January, MR. D is a comedy about an under-qualified teacher trying to fake his way in a teaching job at a swanky private school, just as he fakes his way through life.  www.cbc.ca/mrd 

Be sure to follow the stars of LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE and join in tonight's conversation with #littlemosque. LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE airs directly following MR. D at 8:30 p.m. (9 NT).  CBC-TV's hit sitcom LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE is now into its final episodes - what will happen in the town of Mercy? www.cbc.ca/littlemosque

Then at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) Kevin O'Leary and partner Brian O'Dea catch up with the original participants of REDEMPTION, INC. six months after the filming of the series, which followed a group of ex-cons in their bid to become business partners with O'Leary and win a $100,000 bankroll.  The winner has started a new business, and the other participants have forged ahead with newly-acquired resources and skills. Three have acquired new jobs. Two have gone into business together. It's unclear whether one participant can even be found - and another is on the brink of an extraordinary breakthrough.
