When is the final episode of CBC’s “Working Moms?”
The episode “Fun Fair” on March 21 looked like it could have been the finale but I didn’t see any promotion for it.
What a sad loss the Canadian television and production that
CBC’s “The Porter” is not able to continue.
I don’t believe the explanation of the US producer that the show was too much “Canadian view.”
Weren’t characters going to New York and weren’t the train locations American? (I acknowledge I could be wrong.)
I understand, given the large cast and large sets, production could be expensive but it is very disappointing no other producers have come forward.
The Porter was one of the best shows on TV or streaming in decades. But it wasn’t a darling of the entertainment media. Sad when any fart on some shows (Last Of Us, Succession, Ted Laso, etc) gets so much media attention and other shows are completely ignored.
