  1. Confusing how a show like Mr. D gets renewed but Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays does not.

    I like Mr. D as much as the next guy, but it’s not even in the same league or the same universe as Michael.

  2. Actually I’m quite disdainful of Canadian television and often find it a waste of my time but Mr. D is one of the more entertaining ones that I’v seen in a while.
