Comments and queries for the week of June 29

I grew up loving What Will They Think of Next? Then along came Daily Planet and I looked forward to is so much so it was the only show I had set on the PVR. I thought we were on a summer break or something but I decided to see when it was coming back. Just found out it was canceled. I’m very sad today. It was such an adventure and it was real! Please bring it back. —Carl 

Very disappointed, the only show on television I watched on a regular basis. Poor Bell Media can’t support the only informative series on television. It must be a struggle trying to survive on millions of dollars a day profit. When is the CRTC going to put these guys in check? In Canada we pay more for these services than anyone else on earth. When I pay a good portion of my hard earned money I expect to get something useful in return. —Paul


Just found out about [InnerSpace‘s] cancellation. Sad news indeed. InnerSpace was probably one of my favourite shows to watch after my work day and get caught up on news that are of interest to my geeky heart. While I can empathize with some of the opinions stated above that it was perhaps too focused on Ontario and could have benefited from sourcing stories from across Canada, it still is a slap in the face to crew at InnerSpace and all its dedicated fans both within Canada and abroad to be treated in such a manner. I guess the further dumbing-down and all so essential Bell promotions run ad nauseam are more important. It was an original show, as was Discovery and now with both gone the Space Channel no longer has anything I wish to watch any further. I was going to be revising my channels anyways with with my provider, so this will be an easy decision to make. I have never supported Bell and now, with this lame excuse of a decision, I can safely say I never will. —Cory


I only wish that CBC had not cancelled The Goods. It was an entertaining show. I used to record it every day. —Joanne

Comments and queries for the week of March 31

Hi, I just happened to see the show The Goods and now I am hooked. Thanks for everything, it’s so great to watch just before I leave for work. —Janet


Please find attached a link to an important part of Canadian history that was completely missed on Canada: The Story of Us. The show, while extremely well done, overlooked Acadian people of the Maritime provinces. —Ron


It’s disappointing that both X Company and Orphan Black won’t be coming back. Such great shows which were ended too soon! Now I’m waiting impatiently to find out the news for Workin’ Moms and Anne. —Alicia


I am thrilled to hear about Heartland, Season 11. Best show going in my opinion. Love all the actors and each episode has a teachable moment, through words of wisdom, that everyone can benefit and learn something from. Just love Heartland! —Janet
