In the news: Best of network TV

February 19, 2007 Diane Wild

From Alex Strachan of the Edmonton Journal, includes Robson Arms and brief mentions of other Canadian shows:

Inside the Box:Â A day-by-day guide to the best on network TV
“Robson Arms is a wistful, good-natured parable about life in a walk-up apartment block — TV as it might have been imagined by Robert Altman. It’s an easy-going way to relax in front of the box — if an odd fit for a Saturday night. It seems a much better companion for Corner Gas on Mondays, instead of the forced, unfunny The Class.”
