From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:
- CBC takes the safe road to the ordinary
“Without seeing any of these shows, it’s impossible to make a definitive judgment. But the problem is that the shows sound ordinary and machine-made rather than unconventional or idiosyncratic in any way. CBC is a public broadcaster and should stand out as a home for the challenging, the weird and the provocative shows.”
But the problem is that “without seeing any of these shows…” it is stupid to even make a non-comment like this ;-) Man, eh.
It is a bit, er, pessimistic of him.
