From a media release:

ED ASNER JOINS CBC-TV’S MICHAEL: TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS

  • One of TV’s best-loved actors debuts in recurring role on new comedy series this Tuesday

Scott Stinson of the National Post says MICHAEL: TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS is “not just good, it is excellent … sharp, caustic and brilliantly funny.”

The Toronto Star’s Rob Salem says “This is far and away the best television comedy I’ve seen this year. In several years.”

And Globe & Mail TV writer John Doyle says the show is “effortlessly captivating,” and goes on to say, “The show feels frisky in its comedy, not cynical, and there’s real skill evident in the comedic twist on therapy.”

It has drawn tremendous critical acclaim and on October 4, CBC Television’s brilliant new comedy series MICHAEL: TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS ramps up the star power with multiple Emmy Award-winner Ed Asner.

This Tuesday (October 4) at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT), Asner joins stars Bob Martin (Dr. David Storper) and Matt Watts (Michael Dyer) on MICHAEL: TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS in the recurring role of the shrink’s somewhat outrageous shrink, Dr. Wassermann.
